Our physiotherapists are allied health professionals - this means that we work alongside your animal’s veterinary team and not in isolation.
Please note that a veterinary history is required from your regular (and specialist if appropriate) veterinary team before your initial consultation. This can be emailed to info@animaliaphysiotherapy.com.au before your session and our physiotherapist will review this before your initial consultation.
During your animals initial consultation, your physiotherapist will discuss the history of your animal’s issues and complete a full ‘nose to tail’ assessment. Once we have established a complete picture of your animal’s physical health, we will formulate a treatment plan and get this started during your initial session.
Within one business day of your consult, we will email you your home exercise program to view after your session - no excuses for forgetting your homeworkl!
After your initial consultation our physiotherapist will send a physiotherapy report to your treating veterinary team to keep them informed of our assessment findings and treatment plan.
Initial consultation $220
This is a 60 minute consult and may include hydrotherapy.
This session is suitable for those who have poor mobility, more complex health needs, anxious or fearful dogs who need more time for ‘getting to know each other’ and handling, for those who wish to include hydrotherapy as part of their treatment plan and for those who want to get the most out of their session and time with a dual qualified physiotherapist.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out and get in touch - happy to chat about your individual situation and needs.
Initial consultation $190
This is a shorter 45 minute consult and DOES NOT include introducing hydrotherapy.
Suitable for non complex orthopaedic consultations, animals who are mobile and generally well and don’t have any anxiety or apprehension about behind handled by a new person / professional and don’t need too much time to get comfortable with handling by the physiotherapist.
If in doubt about how much time you may need with us, don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance.
Canine Hydrotherapy at Animalia Physiotherapy
Your initial consultation may include an introduction to our HydroPhysio underwater treadmill if hydrotherapy is deemed clinically appropriate for your animal.
Please note that at Animalia Physiotherapy, hydrotherapy sessions are run by a qualified physiotherapist and is offerred as part of a holistic physiotherapy program and not in isolation.
Every patient must complete a full physiotherapy assessment before we consider hydrotherapy as part of the treatment plan.
Allied Health & Multidisciplinary Team Care
Just like in human healthcare, multidisciplinary team care is so important for optimum veterinary care. As part of this, communication is a prioirity at Animalia Physiotherapy.
After your initial session, your physiotherapist will correspond with your veterinarian via our physiotherapy assessment report, to ensure that your veterinary team is kept informed about the outcome of our ainitial session (main problems identified, key findings from our assessment, our recommendations, treatment plan and goals).
