What Sets Us Apart?

CCMT Certification

The Certified Canine Manual Therapist (CCMT) program focuses on advanced hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization, massage, and other interventions. At this time, we are the only practice that carries this designation in Central Virginia.

Home Visits

Visiting your home creates a calm, comfortable environment that enhances physical rehabilitation benefits by promoting relaxation. It eliminates the stress and risks of transporting your pet while saving you time and hassle.

Diagnostic MSK Ultrasound

This modality is used to assess joints, muscles, and tendons in more detail than radiographs and is less expensive than MRI. Because it is non-invasive, it can be used to monitor healing throughout the treatment process.

PiezoWave

This modality uses acoustic waves to mechanically stimulate deep tissues in a focused and precise manner, triggering the body’s self-healing process. We are the first practice in Central Virginia to introduce this therapy.
