Post Operative Therapy

Surgery is just the first step in your pet’s recovery. What happens after surgery is just as important—and that’s where rehabilitation therapy comes in.

At the Animal rehab and Pain Center, we help pets recover faster, regain strength, and reduce pain with safe, personalized post-operative care. Whether your dog or cat had orthopedic surgery, a neurological procedure, or soft tissue repair, we’re here to guide them every step of the way.

Faster Healing. Safer Recovery. Less Pain.

Proper post-operative care is essential after surgery. Rehabilitation therapy helps manage your pet’s activity in a safe, controlled way—reducing pain, restoring mobility, and accelerating healing.

Whether your pet had orthopedic, neurologic, soft tissue, or oncology-related surgery, our rehab team designs a custom recovery plan to support their unique needs and help them return to comfort and function as quickly as possible.
