Aquatic therapy: utilizes an underwater treadmill that allows work on ambulatory skills with the benefit of reduced weight bearing. 
Proprioception analysis and therapy: proprioception is the ability to recognize the position of the joints at rest and during movement. This therapy involves various exercises that improve balance and stability. 
Gait Training: involves assisted ambulation with slings and towels in patients unable to walk independently. Also includes slow leash walks, stairs, and treadmill exercises in ambulatory patients that need assistance. 
Therapeutic ultrasound: this treatment modality uses high frequency sound waves that produce heat. The goal is to increase range of motion in injured joints and muscles. 
Massage: the manipulation of the soft tissues (muscle) of the body to decrease pain and increase range of motion. 
Hot/cryo therapy: therapeutic application of heat and/or cold (ice) to improve range of motion and flexibility. 
Therapeutic exercise: a wide range of activities designed to increase strength, flexibility, range of motion, and increase the body’s total functional capacity. 
Also, during your pet’s rehabilitation we will evaluate and monitor their muscle girth, active range of motion, body composition, and gait. South Texas Veterinary Specialists, LLP
