Service
Clinical Rehabilitation
At Shanaghan Veterinary Services we are pleased to offer a clinical rehabilitation service. This service encompasses clinical rehabilitation following a particular diagnosis, injury or surgery, and reconditioning, pre-hab and general rehabilitation advice. Our ethos of “total patient care” is reflected in our clinical rehabilitation service. Plans are provided by a certified equine rehabilitation practitioner who has significant experience in using evidence-based rehabilitation methods and techniques.
How it works?
Following diagnosis and assessment, we can help develop a clinical rehabilitation plan using our unique expertise in the field of equine rehabilitation. Plans include physical therapy, adjunctive treatments, and exercise conditioning.
We can assist you with undertaking the rehabilitation plan at home or alternatively we work with a few trusted yards which provide equine rehabilitation services. This vet-led approach means your horse can rehabilitate in the safest manner.
