Rehabilitation is directed at assessing, restoring and maintaining a dog’s physical function and movement. Working with the owner, veterinarian and often other healthcare professionals, a rehabilitation practitioner will work with you and your animal to achieve and maintain optimal health and well-being through modalities such as hydrotherapy, massage, acupuncture, and ultrasound.
The goals of therapy are to relieve pain, restore range of motion/movement, improve function, prevent injuries and expand the physical potential of the patient. Rehabilitation at CRCG requires vet referral.
CRCG loosely defines recreation as all those things that an owner and/or dog does in order to make their leisure time more interesting, more enjoyable and more personally satisfying. Open swimming in our indoor pool constitutues recreation and does not require veterinarian referral.
