Gidget's Therapeutic Renewal


Physical therapy (PT) is vital for dogs like Gidget recovering from knee replacement surgery, as it restores function, improves mobility, and strengthens muscles, paving the way for a pain-free, active lifestyle. PT is also key in preventing complications like muscle atrophy and accelerating recovery.

Gidget's eight-week PT program at the ranch included:

1. **Daily Range of Motion Exercises** Gently moving the joint to enhance flexibility and prevent stiffness.

2. **Daily Strengthening Exercises** Targeting the muscles around the knee to build strength and stability.

3. **Weekly Massage** Boosting blood flow, alleviating muscle tension, and fostering relaxation.

4. **Weekly Laser Therapy** Promoting healing and reducing pain.

Today, our golden girl is living life to the fullest and savoring every moment!
