Physiotherapy for Injured
Cats and Dogs
Supporting pets recovery after accidents and injuries
Whether it’s a road traffic accident, a fall, or an unexpected injury during play, the aftermath of trauma can have a lasting impact on your pet’s movement and comfort. At IP Vet Physiotherapy, we provide expert physio for injured cats and physio for injured dogs across Cheshire and Manchester, helping your pet regain strength, mobility, and confidence.
Our mobile veterinary physiotherapy service brings professional care directly to your home, ensuring your pet can heal in familiar surroundings with as little stress as possible.
Helping your pet recover from injury
Injuries can range from soft tissue strains and sprains to fractures, nerve damage, or orthopaedic trauma. Even after surgery or initial veterinary treatment, many pets benefit greatly from physiotherapy as part of their long term recovery.
Common causes of injury in dogs and cats include:
-
Road traffic accidents
-
Slips and falls
-
Rough play or chasing
-
Joint or ligament damage (e.g., cruciate injuries)
-
Post-operative weakness
If your cat or dog is limping, avoiding movement, or has lost muscle strength after an accident, physiotherapy can help support a safe and structured return to activity.
Tailored physiotherapy for injured cats and dogs
​
We understand that every injury- and every pet- is different. That’s why we offer fully tailored rehabilitation plans designed around your animal’s needs, condition, and lifestyle.
Our treatments for injured pets may include:
-
Manual therapy to relieve muscle tension, break down scar tissue and support joint health
-
Electrotherapies (such as laser or PEMF therapy) to reduce pain, swelling and inflammation
-
Rehabilitation exercises to restore coordination, balance and strength
-
Ongoing monitoring and progress assessments
Our pet physio treatments are always delivered gently and patiently, especially when dealing with nervous or post-trauma animals.
Experienced pet physiotherapy
We bring specialist knowledge, compassion, and years of experience working with both dogs and cats. We’re also happy to liaise with your vet, orthopaedic surgeon, or hydrotherapist to ensure a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to your pet’s care.
From post-surgical support to long term rehabilitation, our physiotherapy services can make a real difference to your animal’s quality of life.
