Mobile Limb Mobilization for Pets

Offering Mobile Limb Mobilization for pets in London, Kitchener-Waterloo, the GTA and surrounding areas.

What is Limb Mobilization or Pets?

Limb mobilization is a therapeutic technique designed to improve your pet’s range of motion, reduce pain, and enhance the mechanics of their joints or limbs. By carefully moving the limbs through natural range of motions, we can load the muscles and activate the joints and nerves, promoting better limb dynamics and overall function. This treatment is especially beneficial for pets with stiffness, muscle tension, or muscular atrophy.

Does my pet need Limb Mobilization?

Limb mobilization addresses stiffness, muscle tension, muscular atrophy, and reduced range of motion in pets.

By guiding the limbs through specific stages of passive and active range of motion, we load the muscles and activate the joints and nerves, improving the dynamics and function of the limb.

Exercise Without Movement

Limb Mobilization doesn’t require movement so it’s great for obese patients who tire easily while working the muscles and limbs to prevent atrophy and help lose weight.

Releases Tension

Limb Mobilization allows the patient to release the tension in the limb so they can more readily accept the other treatments since the limb is loose and not tense.

Limb Mobilization is a safe, non-invasive treatment that provides significant relief and healing for pets suffering from various conditions as well as a bonding opportunity for owners. 

It is especially effective in reducing muscle tension, improving range of motion, addressing overall stiffness and aiding muscle atrophy.

How Does Limb Mobilization Work?

Following our initial assessment, a customized exercise plan and aftercare plan is created to address the patient’s needs the owner can perform themselves, or hand-off to us.

Limb Movement

We take each limb individually, moving it through its natural range of motions in a controlled, purposeful manner, similar to bicycling the leg.

Muscle Loading

We apply slight pressure to load the limb with some weight, encouraging the muscles to perform their natural movements. Each joint is worked on in this way to ensure comprehensive treatment.
