Utilizing soft tissue mobilization during rehabilitation and fitness sessions Alpha Animal Rehab & Fitness allows us to focus on certain areas of the animal. This process ensures every animal receives high-level, hands-on care at our facility.
For animal rehabilitation treatment sessions that utilize STM, treatment goals are specific to each animal, but in general include:
Joint mobilization is a skilled manual therapy technique aimed at improving the joint range of motion and reducing pain.
In order to incorporate joint mobilization, the therapist manually applies targeted pressures or forces on a joint in specific directions to help improve the mobility of that joint. It can be performed at different levels of intensity and is usually pain-free.
Joint mobilization can improve range of motion, reduce pain, and improve joint mechanics to help with things such as lifting legs, bending the spine, or walking.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact Alpha Animal Rehab & Fitness at (908) 454-2273.
Our manual therapy techniques are designed to reduce pain, restore mobility, and promote healing through hands-on care. Common approaches include:
A typical manual therapy session lasts about 20–30 minutes, depending on your pet’s condition, tolerance, and treatment goals. Each session is customized to keep your pet comfortable while achieving the best results.
For most pets, manual therapy is recommended 1–2 times per week initially, especially after surgery or when managing chronic pain. As your pet improves, the frequency may be reduced to bi-weekly or monthly maintenance sessions to support long-term mobility and comfort.
