Home Exercises
Tailored physiotherapy plans to support recovery and wellbeing at home
At IP Vet Physio, we believe that rehabilitation doesn’t stop at the end of a treatment session. That’s why we offer bespoke home exercise programmes as a vital part of our animal physio services. Carefully designed to suit your animal’s specific needs, these plans help support recovery, improve mobility, and build strength between hands-on visits.
Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply in need of regular maintenance, our home exercises offer a practical and effective way to support their long term wellbeing.
What are home exercises?
Home exercises are structured, easy to follow activities that you can carry out with your animal between physiotherapy sessions. Each plan is tailored to your animal’s species, condition, lifestyle, and stage of recovery.
These exercises may include:
-
Stretches and mobility movements
-
Strength building activities
-
Balance and core stability work
-
Proprioceptive and coordination tasks
-
Gentle walking routines or pole work for horses
Our goal is to make these exercises simple, safe, and effective, empowering you to play an active role in your animal’s recovery.
Why are home exercises important?
As a trusted provider of pet physio in Cheshire and Manchester, we’ve seen first hand the difference that consistent, guided home care can make. Home exercise programmes help:
-
Maintain progress between treatmens
-
Improve strength, flexibility, and joint function
-
Reduce the risk of re-injury
-
Support post-operative recovery
-
Enhance performance in active or working animals
Most importantly, they help your animal feel more comfortable and confident in their daily life.
Vet physio support
All home exercise plans are developed and demonstrated by a fully qualified and experienced vet physio. We’ll take the time to show you how to perform each activity correctly, answer your questions, and adapt the plan as your animal progresses.
We work with dogs, cats, horses, and a range of other species, from high level competitors to much-loved pets. Whether your dog is recovering from a car accident, or your event horse needs ongoing support between competitions, we’ll provide a plan that fits.
