Physiotherapy for Cats

Gentle, effective cat physio in Cheshire, Manchester and the North West

At IP Veterinary Physiotherapy, we offer specialist feline physiotherapy to support cats recovering from surgery, injury, or illness. Whether your cat has recently undergone an operation, suffered an accident, or is struggling with chronic pain or mobility issues, we can help.

Based in Cheshire and covering Manchester and the wider North West, we provide a mobile cat physio service, coming directly to your home. This reduces stress and allows us to treat your cat in a calm, familiar environment- ideal for nervous or less mobile pets.

When might a cat need physiotherapy?

Cats are agile, athletic animals, but they’re not immune to injury, degenerative conditions or the effects of ageing. Physiotherapy for cats can be a crucial part of recovery, rehabilitation, and pain management, improving both mobility and quality of life.

We typically treat cats recovering from:

Orthopaedic surgery, such as fracture repair or joint surgery
Spinal injuries, including disc issues or nerve damage
Road traffic accidents or falls from height
Arthritis and age-related joint pain
Soft tissue injuries or ongoing lameness

Many of our feline patients are older cats who begin to show signs of stiffness, discomfort, or reduced activity. We also frequently treat cats who have been involved in road traffic accidents. A carefully tailored physio plan can help restore movement and confidence, reduce pain, and keep your cat active for longer.

Common conditions we treat in cats

Joint problems, such as degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis
Soft tissue damage
Tendon and ligament problems
Road traffic accidents
Scoliosis of the spine
Weight loss programs

What’s involved in cat physio?

Every cat is unique, so our treatments are always personalised to your cat’s condition, needs and temperament. Sessions may include:

Manual therapies such as soft tissue massage and joint mobilisation
Electrotherapy to relieve pain and promote healing
Controlled exercises to restore strength and movement
Home care advice so you can support your cat’s recovery confidently
Liaison with your vet to ensure joined up, holistic care

Our aim is always to reduce pain, improve movement and help your dog return to their usual activity levels, while also supporting your confidence in managing their recovery at home.
