Supporting Equipment
At Snowy’s Canine Therapy Centre, we offer a variety of specialised equipment to support your dog’s rehabilitation and recovery. This includes Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy (PMFT) to enhance healing, proprioceptive tracks that challenge balance and muscle engagement, and a range of rehabilitation exercise equipment such as poles, peanut balls, stance platforms, and textured mats. Each tool is designed to complement our therapies, improving mobility, strength, and overall wellbeing for dogs recovering from injuries, surgeries, or managing chronic conditions.
PMFT (Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy)
Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy (PMFT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses repetitive electrical stimulation to enhance the body’s natural healing processes. By influencing cellular metabolism, circulation, and immune system responses, PMFT accelerates tissue regeneration and promotes overall recovery. It is particularly beneficial in the healing of bones, soft tissue injuries, and post-surgical recovery. PMFT is also effective in managing conditions like osteoarthritis by reducing inflammation and improving joint function. Additionally, it can support neurological disorders by promoting nerve repair and improving circulation to affected areas. This therapy helps to reduce pain, increase mobility, and enhance the body’s natural healing mechanisms, making it an integral part of rehabilitation at Snowy’s.
Proprioceptive Tracks
Proprioceptive tracks are an essential part of rehabilitation at Snowy’s, designed to challenge and improve a dog’s proprioception, which is the ability to sense the position and movement of the body. These adaptive surfaces, made with varying densities of foam, are used to enhance balance, muscle engagement, and motor skills. By encouraging dogs to adjust their posture and movements, proprioceptive tracks promote body awareness and help strengthen muscles, particularly in the core and limbs. These tracks are crucial for improving coordination and flexibility, supporting recovery, and optimising mobility during therapy sessions. They play a vital role in helping dogs regain their physical abilities and improve functional movement.
Rehabilitation Exercise Equipment
To enhance mobility and support recovery, we incorporate a range of specialised rehabilitation equipment during therapy sessions at Snowy’s:
- Poles: Used for agility and coordination exercises to improve movement patterns and strength.
- Peanut Balls: These stability balls engage core muscles, improve balance, and promote flexibility.
- Stance Platforms: These devices encourage dogs to shift weight and build muscle strength, improving posture and stability.
- Textured Mats: Provide an uneven surface to challenge balance and proprioception, strengthening muscles and improving coordination.
Each piece of equipment complements our therapeutic techniques, providing a dynamic and versatile approach to rehabilitation, ensuring that every dog receives a tailored treatment plan to enhance mobility, strength, and overall wellbeing.
