About
Physio-
therapy

The Physiotherapy Room at Bluewaters. Pets, like people respond well to physiotherapy treatment to help restore function, improve movement and maintain mobility. Physiotherapy can be used to treat a range of issues, from joint conditions to rehabilitation after surgery, muscle strains and nerve problems. It can also be used to address obesity, reduced fitness and age related changes. Physiotherapy is an excellent way to slow down the effects of getting older for as long as possible. For further information please visit the ACPAT Website.
