  • Abstract / Overview:
  • Cats have orthopedic problems, including osteoarthritis, fractures, and luxations, that are positively impacted by physical rehabilitation.

    Most cats have an independent behavior that requires using a tactful approach to rehabilitation.


    Cats often do well with manual therapy and electrophysical modalities. The sessions may be shorter than canine rehabilitation sessions.


    Cats do best with therapeutic exercises when these exercises are linked to hunting, playing, or feeding.
