Why does it matter?

The goal of canine physical rehabilitation is the same as it is for humans—to help improve the quality of life through restoring function, reducing pain, and increasing mobility. Mobility Matters Pet Rehabilitation works with animals on both vet-referred conditions and therapeutic exercises to support the well-being of your canine companion.

Therapeutic pet exercises are used for active range of motion, flexibility, coordination, muscular balance, and strengthening. The focus is on stabilizing exercises and core strength.

Laura M.

I brought my 3-year-old dog Luna to mobility matters after TPLO surgery on both of her knees. The progress she made after coming here was amazing and she is now back to running around like she loves to do. The staff are very friendly, patient, and welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

Pat S.

My almost 14-year-old German Shepherd has been getting underwater treadmill, massage, laser, and acupuncture at Mobility Matters since last fall for arthritic and neurological issues. She loves going and screams to go in the car for her sessions. Dr. Tina and Kathy treat her with kindness and care and always have time to talk to me about her progress and give me advice. I picked the right place to treat my girl and highly recommend them for any rehab care.

Jan P.

My 3-year-old Aussie, Ruse, came up lame shortly after an agility practice. Aside from leash walking only, and chiropractor visits, I was really at a loss as to how to help. I was so grateful when a friend recommended Mobility Matters. The entire care team has been professional, friendly and compassionate. They set us up for a doable recovery plan, always available for questions between visits. I was thrilled on our last visit when Dr. Tina said Ruse was sound and ready to get back into agility. Thank you, Dr. Tina, Kathy & Erica!

Home Exercise E-booklets

We recognize that not all pets can have access to a rehabilitation facility for a variety of reasons. This group of pets can still benefit from a home veterinary exercise program with clear instructions and online support. Dogs that have experienced damage to the anterior cruciate ligament need lifelong assistance to maximize their return to function and reduce secondary arthritis. Our e-guides were developed with years of veterinary experience that has seen dogs develop arthritis and mobility issues secondary to such common conditions as anterior cruciate ligament disease and hip dysplasia. We want to work with pet owners to assist their pets in being as active as possible throughout their whole lives.
