We are a state-of-the-art, free-standing, veterinary rehabilitation facility located in Salt Lake City, Utah. We are dedicated solely to rehabilitation, acupuncture, and conditioning of companion animals. Our center is uniquely co-operated by a veterinarian, Dr. Shawna McCall, and a physical therapist, Pat Werner. As a team we work closely with your regular veterinarian to incorporate rehabilitation and/or acupuncture into your pet's current health plan.
It is our goal to improve your pet's quality of life by aiding in their recovery from injury or surgery, improving their mobility or activity level, helping to address their pain due to age-related diseases or other causes, and to prevent future problems through conditioning or weight loss. Veterinary rehabilitation is quickly becoming the standard of care for helping to treat physical injury or illness in animals.
Ask your primary veterinarian if your pet may benefit from physical rehabilitation. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to schedule an appointment.

Our state-of-the-art underwater treadmill is designed to give animals an aerobic workout in a low-impact environment.
Exercising in water will improve strength, endurance, range-of-motion, normalize gait mechanics, help with weight loss if necessary, and improve overall well-being for companion animals.
The buoyancy the water provides helps the pet to bear less weight during exercise which reduces the load on sore muscles and joints making them more comfortable in motion.
The water is kept at a warm temperature (88-93°) that is soothing to achy joints, increases blood flow to help mobility and healing, and relaxes tight muscles.

Our therapeutic exercise programs (both in-house and home-based) can be considered to be one of the most important aspects of a rehabilitation plan.
Each program is designed specifically for individual pets and their particular conditions.
These exercises may be as simple as Passive Range of Motion (PROM) or stretching exercises which increase or maintain joint mobility and flexibility by increasing circulation to muscles and joints and increasing joint synovial fluid to provide nutrition to the cartilage within the joint.
