Physical Rehabilitation
We welcome physical rehabilitation patients regardless of the reason for rehabilitation. Whether your pet has a neurologic condition, is struggling with arthritis, is recovering from an orthopedic surgery, or just needs some extra strength training, we’re here for you.

Aquatic Services
Whether your pet needs physical rehabilitation for a neurologic or non-neurologic condition, hydrotherapy can be an excellent modality. At Minnesota Veterinary Neurology, we are uniquely equipped to offer aquatic therapy with our state-of-the-art underwater treadmill.
We also offer aquatic services for dogs (and cats!) with other needs. This could be as simple as a dog that needs extra cool-off time in a pool to a canine athlete who requires conditioning to function at peak performance.
