World-class physiotherapy facilities

The facility at VSA includes some of the best equipment available including K-laser, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) & exercise rehabilitation tools.  One of our service features is an underwater treadmill - which assists in recovery of strength, proprioception, ambulation & mobility in our patients with neurological or orthopaedic disease.

In order to maximise recovery & restore function, surgical in-patients at VSA have immediate post-operative physiotherapy input. Pet owners are given individualised home exercise programmes & education by one of our VSA Physios, ensuring our patients receive the highest standard of continued care.
