Equipment Used

As well as using massage and manipulation for treatment of animals, we also make use of a variety of equipment. All of the equipment is very safe to use and non-invasive, as with all of the treatment we provide.

Ultrasound:
To reduce pain, muscle spasm, scar tissue, chronic swelling & assist contracted tendons.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF):
For pain relief, promotion of soft tissue & bone healing (poor or non-union), stimulation of circulation & metabolism, treatment of arthritis, reduction of joint & muscle symptoms.

Phototherapy (Laser):
BLUE LIGHT: for antibacterial treatment of wounds & sutures.
RED LIGHT: for it's wound healing properties, and it's promotion of reduced scarring, white hair and proud flesh. Also used for pain & muscle spasm relief, general relaxation and as a pre-manual therapy intervention.

Muscle/Nerve Electrostimulation:
For muscle wastage (post-surgery or from disuse), re-training of muscles, recovery from nerve damage. This uses electrodes & a conducting gel to transfer electrical charges through the body to stimulate muscle contraction.

Static Magnets & Splints:
For the maintenance of arthritic & chronic conditions, or the support of joints.

In some cases, it is necessary for us to loan you some equipment so that you can perform basic treatment between consultations. If this is necessary, we will provide you with full training to ensure correct usage.
