Allowing your animal to move in a pain free way and using their body correctly.
Stretching can improve flexibility and range of motion as well as reduce joint related pain and improve the posture and mobility.

Electrotherapy/Photobiomodulation

Electrotherapies can have a range of effects based on the condition, area of the issue and modality chosen
Stimulatory - electrotherapies can stimulate tissue growth, healing and improve tissue quality reducing the scar tissue. They can also increase blood flow and lymph removal allowing for optimal functioning of the softi tissues
Inhibitory - Electrotherapies can have an inhibitory effect reducing pain and inflammation in the area through  inhibiting the transmission of pain signals or inducing a natural opioid release within the body.
