Physical Rehabilitation Consult

We go beyond the normal vet exam and analyze your pet’s gait and assess strength, endurance, and flexibility. By assessing your animal’s movement in your home, we can make real-life improvements where your pet lives. You’ll receive a custom exercise program to help your animal build strength, endurance, and balance.

Physical Rehabilitation Consult

This is a limited preventative exam for dogs without current problems. We educate you on the common breed conditions, preventative care to increase your pet’s health span, and ways to maximize strength and endurance.

For healthy pets, we analyze their diet and offer recommendations to optimize performance and endurance. Senior animals and pets undergoing physical rehabilitation have unique dietary needs, and we tailor our recommendations to maximize healing and strength.

Supplements can be a valuable addition to a balanced diet, but it’s important to navigate the veterinary supplement market carefully. This market is often described as "the Wild West," with most supplements lacking regulation and guarantees of safe or effective ingredients. Poor-quality supplements can be a waste of money and may even harm your pet. We provide expert guidance on choosing safe and effective supplements to support your pet’s health.

To receive this service, your pet must be under the care of a primary care, surgeon, and/or neurologist veterinarian.


If a pet is under the care and responsibility of a 501c3 nonprofit organization, let us know! With proper documentation, we are pleased to offer discounts as a way to give back. 

We work with pets who are not located in the Brandywine Valley. Please email us at [email protected] for more information.

For a telemedicine session, you will need to record a video of your dog performing a series of movements and exercises to show your dog's mobility and strength. We will create a customized exercise program for your dog to perform at home. 

Your dog must be under the care of a primary care, surgeon, and/or neurologist veterinarian and must already have been diagnosed with an injury or condition.

What to Expect

What Is Involved in a Rehabilitation Consult?

During our evaluation, we will assess your pet's gait, check for lameness, and examine joint range of motion, strength, and muscle mass. We’ll also review your pet’s entire medical history to identify potential improvements in diet, medications, and supplements. At the end of the consultation, you’ll receive a customized exercise program to help build your pet’s strength and balance at home. We will evaluate pain status and prescribe non-pharmaceutical pain management options alongside traditional pain medications.

Following the initial consultation, most pets continue with physical rehabilitation sessions on a weekly to monthly basis, depending on their needs. These sessions may include acupuncture, massage, joint mobilizations, stretching, therapeutic exercises, ASSISI technology, vibration plate therapy, and LASER treatments.

As a veterinarian, no referral is needed. A comprehensive health examination is included, and general health recommendations can be provided upon request.
