Veterinary rehabilitation is similar to physical therapy for people. It uses guided movement, hands-on techniques, and targeted exercises to improve your pet’s strength, mobility, balance, and overall comfort.

While the underwater treadmill is one tool we use, it is only one part of treatment. We do not offer single-modality sessions. Each visit includes a customized combination of therapies selected specifically for your pet to support safe, meaningful progress.

Rehabilitation can improve your pet’s comfort, mobility, strength, balance, and overall quality of life. It is commonly used to support recovery after injury or surgery, manage chronic or neurologic conditions, and help pets move more confidently as they age.

Rehabilitation is often recommended for pets with conditions such as:

• Cruciate ligament (CCL) tears and post-surgical recovery (TPLO, TTA)
• Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
• Degenerative myelopathy
• Hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia
• Fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE)
• Arthritis and osteoarthritis
• Neurologic injuries or weakness
• Muscle loss, weakness, or deconditioning
• Gait abnormalities or mobility decline

This is not a complete list. Rehabilitation can benefit a wide range of orthopedic, neurologic, and age-related conditions. Through individualized treatment and guided movement, rehabilitation helps reduce pain, improve function, slow physical decline, and support safer, more confident movement.

Rehabilitation, acupuncture, and chiropractic care are different but complementary therapies.

Rehabilitation focuses on improving function through movement, using guided exercise, hands-on techniques, and progressive treatment over time.

Acupuncture involves the placement of fine needles to support pain relief, healing, and nervous system function. Chiropractic care focuses on targeted adjustments to support joint motion and alignment.

At our clinic, these therapies are often used together as part of an individualized treatment plan tailored to your pet’s needs.

Rehabilitation should not be painful. Our goal is always to work within your pet’s comfort level while supporting safe, effective movement.

Some pets may experience mild fatigue or temporary soreness as they begin using muscles differently or build strength, similar to how people may feel after physical therapy. We closely monitor your pet’s response during each session and adjust treatments as needed to keep the experience positive and low-stress.

Your pet’s comfort and safety are always our top priorities.

We are happy to see both dogs and cats. That said, cats often face more practical barriers in a traditional rehabilitation setting. They are typically less food motivated, more difficult to guide through structured exercises, and generally not good candidates for the underwater treadmill.

Because of this, for many cats, targeted therapies such as laser treatment, acupuncture, or chiropractic care may offer better value and be a more appropriate fit than comprehensive rehabilitation sessions. We are always happy to discuss your cat’s specific needs and help determine the best approach.

We use positive reinforcement and move at your dog’s pace, allowing time for them to become comfortable with both the environment and the treatments.

Food motivation is a very helpful tool in rehabilitation. Dogs that are not food motivated can still participate successfully, but progress may be slower and some treatments may be more challenging. Our goal is for every pet to feel safe, willing, and comfortable throughout their care.

We will discuss recommendations after the initial consultation and adjust the plan as your pet progresses. Our goal is always to provide the appropriate level of care to support meaningful, lasting improvement.

Sessions also include home exercise program progression, coaching, and education to help you confidently support your pet between visits.

Our focus is on safe, effective movement and meaningful progress, while keeping the experience positive for your pet.

All exercises are first performed with your pet in the clinic to ensure they are appropriate and safe. Your therapist will demonstrate each exercise, provide guidance specific to your pet, and answer any questions.

Exercises are adjusted and progressed over time as your pet improves.

Dr. Kimbrough is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner (CCRP). She completes all evaluations and develops individualized treatment plans. She also sees a full schedule of treatment sessions, meaning your pet may continue working with her for ongoing care if that is your preference. This is often recommended for more complex cases.

Kat Rodriguez is a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Assistant (CCRA). She assists with carrying out treatment plans through therapeutic exercises, physical modalities, and client education. She may also see patients for treatment sessions when Dr. Kimbrough is out of the clinic, allowing continuity of care.

Evaluation and treatment planning are always performed by Dr. Kimbrough.

We also have trained assistants who help support sessions, but your pet will never receive rehabilitation treatment from anyone who is not appropriately certified. You will always be informed of who is working with your pet and given the option to choose who your pet works with when booking appointments.

Assistant sessions are led by our Certified Canine Rehabilitation Assistant (CCRA), Kat Rodriguez, and focus on carrying out the established treatment plan through therapeutic exercise, physical modalities, and client education. These sessions support continuity of care and steady progress between doctor visits.

All treatment plans are developed and overseen by Dr. Kimbrough, and you will always be informed of which provider your pet will see when scheduling. If you’re unsure which session type is best for your pet, our team is happy to help guide you.

The initial consultation is the only appointment where you will not be present in the rehab gym, as we are focused on completing a thorough assessment and developing your pet’s treatment plan.

In rare situations, if we feel owner presence may be unsafe or counterproductive for your pet, we will communicate this clearly and discuss the best approach together.

After veterinary clearance, you will meet with Dr. Kimbrough, who will complete a rehabilitation-specific assessment. She will then review her findings with you and discuss recommended next steps and a treatment plan.

If follow-up sessions have not already been scheduled, a team member will help you book appointments before you leave, based on availability and your preferences.

Treatment may be deferred if additional time is needed for a thorough evaluation, assessment, or to address questions.

If your pet has a favorite or high-value treat, you’re welcome to bring it, though we do keep a variety of treats on hand.

Medication prescribing and refills are handled by the veterinarians at our practice, as long as your pet is an established patient with them.

Ongoing sessions allow for continued treatment, reassessment of your pet’s response, and progression or modification of exercises as they change and improve. They also provide ongoing opportunities to ask questions and learn how to best support your pet at home.

For most pets, the consultation is a starting point. To achieve meaningful progress and reach long-term goals, treatment sessions are typically recommended. We suggest booking sessions when scheduling your initial appointment to ensure the greatest flexibility in appointment times.

Sessions are comprehensive and include any therapies recommended for your pet. We do not bill per modality or offer add-on services. This allows you to trust that all treatments are selected based on your pet’s needs, not cost, and provides financial predictability from visit to visit.
