With an extensive background in human Physical Therapy and water rehab, Trish was eager to offer these services to our four-legged friends. She pursued additional training in animal PT through the American Physical Therapy Association. The APTA courses are taught by veterinarians and Physical Therapists with an emphasis on comparative anatomy and physiology, animal behavior and evaluation protocols specific to the animal population. After completing these courses, Trish founded Cutting Edge K9 Rehab and began building a professional network that offers complete healthcare for animals. Through extensive research and years of experience as a PT, Trish realized that Cutting Edge K9 Rehab needed to specialize in water rehab and massage.
Animals respond even more profoundly to stretching and massage than do humans.
These modalities are combined with manual techniques and are offered at local veterinarian offices. Willie, a ten month old Golden Retriever, has severe hip and elbow dysplasia.
