Post-Surgery Rehabilitation for Dogs
After orthopaedic or spinal surgery, structured rehabilitation helps your dog regain strength, confidence and mobility. At Back In Motion, we create personalised physiotherapy programmes designed to support safe healing and a steady return to activity.
Rehabilitation usually begins once your veterinarian has cleared your pet, and in some cases earlier support may be recommended in collaboration with your vet.
Common Surgeries We Support
Cruciate (Knee) Surgery
Rehabilitation following TPLO, TTA and other cruciate procedures focuses on restoring strength, stability and confident movement.

When Should Rehabilitation Start?
Rehabilitation typically begins once your veterinarian has cleared your pet following surgery. In some cases, earlier support may be recommended in collaboration with your vet to assist with pain management and controlled recovery.
If you’re unsure when to begin, we’re happy to guide you based on your pet’s specific procedure and recovery stage.
