Looking for a physio for your dog? That is exactly what Kinevet does. Veterinary physiotherapy uses movement, water, light and current to give a dog back its mobility after surgery, an injury or with age.
Our two main tools are the underwater treadmill, where the dog works while carried by the water, and the therapeutic laser, which eases pain and supports healing. Electrostimulation completes the set to wake up a muscle that no longer responds.
Each dog follows a written programme, with regular measurements (muscle mass, joint range, weight-bearing) sent to your veterinarian. We do not make diagnoses: we extend the treatment decided by your treating veterinarian or surgeon.
When to see a physio for your dog
- After orthopaedic surgery: cruciate ligaments, hip, fracture
- Arthritis and stiffness in the older dog
- Hip or elbow dysplasia
- Slipped disc, neurological disorders, loss of mobility
- Overweight: rebuilding muscle without impact
- Sporting dog: preparation and recovery
Rehabilitation takes place on referral from your treating veterinarian, who receives our reports. An appointment can be booked directly if you already have a diagnosis.
The physiotherapy techniques we use
Underwater treadmill
The dog walks in lukewarm water that carries part of its weight: real muscular effort, spared joints, symmetrical stride. It is the foundation of canine physio.
Therapeutic laser
Low-power light that reduces pain and inflammation and speeds up tissue repair. No contact, no sedation, a few minutes per area.
Electrostimulation
Gentle electrical impulses that make a weakened or paralysed muscle contract, to maintain its mass and restart nerve control.
How care proceeds
- First session with assessment: gait examination, measurements, first time on the treadmill.
- Written programme: number and rhythm of sessions, measurable goals, instructions for home.
- Regular sessions, usually weekly, adjusted at each visit.
- Reports sent to your treating veterinarian; mid-course assessment to extend, space out or stop.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about canine physio
Do I need a prescription or a referral from my vet?
Yes, Kinevet works on veterinary referral: rehabilitation requires an established diagnosis and ruled-out contraindications. Without a referral, book a first session with assessment: the veterinarian evaluates your dog and contacts your regular vet before starting.
Diagnosis and treatment remain with your regular vet, who receives a report after the assessment and at the end of the programme.
Hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, osteopathy: what is the difference?
Physiotherapy is rehabilitation in the broad sense (mobilisations, exercises, laser, electrostimulation); hydrotherapy is one of its techniques, on an underwater treadmill, where water supports the body and resists movement; osteopathy is a separate manual approach, practised by another practitioner.
At Kinevet, the veterinarian combines hydrotherapy, laser and electrostimulation in a single rehabilitation programme, alongside the regular vet who makes the diagnosis.
How many sessions should I plan for?
Most often between 6 and 12 sessions. After cruciate ligament surgery: six to twelve sessions over six to eight weeks; for osteoarthritis: long-term maintenance, one session every one to two weeks. The initial assessment gives the estimate for your dog.
It is reassessed over the sessions. Subscriptions of 6, 10 and 20 sessions exist for hydrotherapy, and a 6-session package for laser.
Is it painful for the dog?
No. Hydrotherapy is used precisely because it unloads the joint and reduces pain on exertion. The laser produces at most a feeling of warmth. A dog showing discomfort stops the session: the work always stays within the limits it indicates.
The veterinarian adjusts water height, speed and duration at each session; nothing is forced.
