If You’ve Found Our Site Because You Are Looking To Work With An Animal Physical Therapist In Salt Lake City Or The Surrounding Areas, Or If You Are Looking For A Safer More Natural Option That Works...

Then You Have Come To The Right Place!

But before we get started, I have created a free quiz…

“Is Animal Physical Therapy Right For Me?”

This quiz is perfect for you if:

"Is Animal Physical Therapy Right For My Animal?"

Unlike other services such as animal chiropractic, massage, or acupuncture, which may provide ‘temporary relief’ of pain and symptoms…

Animal Physical Therapy (when done properly) not only can help your animal quickly get rid of their pain…

But also make sure that their pain STAYS away, so you can get back to living your active normal lifestyle with your animal.

The thing is, an animal body is very complex, and its ability to heal, regenerate, and recover naturally is not something that should be underestimated.

But in order for that to happen, it does require time, patience, and a bit of work on your end.

If You Are Someone Who Is:

Then You Will NOT Be A Good Fit For Us…

However, If You ARE Someone Who Is...

Then just like the animals and owners below, you can expect a truly amazing transformative outcome… EVEN If Your Animal Has Been In Pain For Years, Or Your Veterinarian Told You Nothing Else Could Be Done.

"Animal Physical Therapy: It All Starts With Getting To Know Your Animals"

We understand the frustrations out there in the medical system. It’s hard to get more than 15 minutes with a specialist, or even find a way to get the specialized care you need.

And even with most clinics, treatments often feel rushed, impersonal, and not very focused…

Which is why our first step… before we do anything… is to get to know you better.

Because every single animal who suffers from pain is different.

They all have different body types, past injuries, and different levels of pain tolerance.

At Salt Lake Animal Physical Therapy, we understand that every single animal is unique, which is why our first step is to get a deep understanding of what is happening to your animal, and how it is effecting their life and your time with them. So we can create a plan that focuses around YOUR ANIMAL and your goals.

At Salt Lake Animal Physical Therapy, we have created an environment that was designed for healing.

Which starts with having an open, honest conversation about your animals health. Then we can make sure animal physical therapy is right for them and you.

We want to make sure you’ll feel comfortable working with us, and to make sure that we will be a good fit, before we begin any form of treatment on your animal.

Step 1: Get Rid Of Pain & Inflammation

Have you ever asked yourself:

We realize that it can be difficult for your animal to move and enjoy life when they are in pain. They no longer want to do the fun things that they used to and just don’t have as much energy. That’s why, after getting to know you and your animal, getting rid of pain and inflammation is the next step.

Once we work with your animal to remove pain and inflammation, through animal physical therapy, then it becomes easier to move and build the necessary infrastructure to keep you that way.

We have seen others try to skip this step and get your animal moving while they are still in pain.

This can be no fun for anyone!

That’s why we git rid of pain and inflammation first and then get your animal moving. To start to get rid of the pain and inflammation we use many techniques including Manual Therapy.

"What Is Manual Therapy?"

Manual therapy is the art of using highly scientific, targeted techniques that will help your animal QUICKLY restore mobility, and alleviate pain with movement BEFORE we do any form of exercise.

We use our hands, and different tools that will help your animal feel better by:

These treatments work by removing the “restrictions” from areas that are chronically injured. It will increase blood flow and circulation into these areas…which will improve the flow of oxygen and promote a much healthier environment for your animals’ tissues to heal.

Our clients are usually SHOCKED to see how quickly their animals’ mobility returns just after a few short treatment sessions.

No, it’s not like “chiropractic”

‘Manual therapy’ techniques are much more targeted to treat the ‘soft tissues’ which will take pressure OFF painful joints, instead of directly ‘adjusting’ an area.

We have developed our manual treatment methods from years of practice and training as Doctors of Physical Therapy. In order to give your animal the quickest, most effective, and safest way to restore motion before they start to exercise.

Step 2: Get To The Root Cause Of The Problem!

It can be worrying if your animal has had pain for a long time, and an x-ray, or an MRI might show “degenerating discs”, “herniations”, “inflammation” or various other injuries. The great news is that animal physical therapy can and will help!

Many people are unaware these problems CAN get better, even if your veterinarian has said that there is nothing that can be done.

How?

The body is very complex, and everything is truly ‘connected’.

We often find there are other parts of your animals’ body that may not be working ‘correctly’, and makes your back ‘compensate’ for these problems.

Examples of this may include:

But for every single animal, the ‘root cause’ may be a bit different. Because it depends on the animal, their history, their body type, and many other factors.

Our goal is to get to the bottom of the real cause of pain, eliminate it, so your animal can start their path to getting mobility back, and return to the things you love to do with them the most. This is one reason that animal physical therapy is very unique and uses the most natural methods.

Which is why we perform a full-body movement assessment.

"What Is A Movement Assessment?"

A deep analysis of every single one of your animals’ movements, head to toe. This allows us to see very clearly what is different about YOUR ANIMAL, and to SHOW you how everything is connected.

Our movement assessment will capture all of these potential root causes, and give you clarity, and peace of mind to know that this problem of your animals’ CAN be fixed.

Step 3: Give You the Tools to Keep it Gone.

It’s your animals’ health and well being and that is why it is important that you get to know it and get to know the tools that it will need to remaining feeling the way you want it to feel and participating in the activities that you want to do with your animal.

Some of these tools may include:

It is important to understand that this will not be some ‘cookie-cutter’ program from a youtube video off the web. This will be a very specific and custom tailored plan for your animals’ body. We will give you specific mobility drills, exercises, tissue release techniques, and whatever else it takes to restore mobility, strength, and overall comfort to your animal.

Common signs your animal is in pain might be:

Animals are resilient creatures and great at hiding their pain. So if you notice signs of pain it is likely more painful than you think.

At Salt Lake Animal Physical Therapy our program offers much more than a few exercises or stretches…

We provide highly personalized, individualized, in-depth treatment for your animal in a safe and fun way.

We do this by using advanced neuroscience and exercise physiology, and give you absolute laser focused attention into every single movement that your animal performs.

This will allow your animal to QUICKLY:

Finally, We Are ALWAYS Here To Support You.

One of the most important steps in any process is to have the proper support. Here at Salt Lake Animal Physical Therapy we support you from beginning to end and all along the way.

Our support includes:

At this point, you think that your animals’ pain is just something you have to live with…but secretly you hope they feel normal again. It’s not fun watching your animal suffer and having trouble walking, running or doing things that they love.
What I can tell you is that a simple stretch or just icing it are not likely to help.
Why? Because it simply just masks the pain and tries to temporarily cover it up.

I know so many people who have just accepted that pain & stiffness is now a normal part of their animals’ lives. This does NOT have to be you! Animal physical therapy, done right, can and will help!

If you would like to learn more about what it is that we can do for you and your animal, BEFORE you commit to working with us, I highly recommend our free, 30-minute discovery session:

A discovery visit is a free, 30 minute consultation with us, where we will first get to know each other and make sure that we’re a good fit for each other BEFORE we start.

Please keep in mind we are very selective in who we choose to work with, because we only choose to work with animals’ and owners that we believe we CAN help and truly make a difference in their life.

Due to high demand and popularity, availability for these sessions is limited, so if your need is urgent, and you would like to have your problem solved sooner:

If pain is keeping your animal from walking, running, playing, jumping, or doing things that they love, then you need to take a few minutes to contact us today.

Wishing You The Best,

What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About Salt Lake Animal Physical Therapy in​ Salt Lake City, UT...

Dog: Mylo

Mylo is a 13 year old dog that had herniated discs and was told he only had a few months left, due to extreme pain and inability to walk normally. Through canine or dog physical therapy at Salt Lake Animal Physical Therapy he is now able to walk and has greatly improved his quality of life and time with his owner:)

Owner: Terelle

Dog: Nina

My little dog Nina is 15 years old. She was limping but it was not arthritis. Due to her limp she had trouble getting around. She was also not her barky, active little self. We tried meds and laser therapy, but it did not seem to help at all. Sadly, we struggle with this for over a year. I guess we waited so long because I put faith in my vet and ran through all the treatment he suggested. I also just assumed that age had taken its toll. All I can say is, nothing helped. Then, by sheer chance, someone recommended Josh Hall to us. I called the very next business day. Josh saw Nina within a week. The first session seemed to make her worse; she was exhausted and even more limpy. But a friend said to me. “Have you ever had physical therapy? The first session is always hard.” True. After the next session, her pain noticeably decreased, and her limp began to improve. After 4 sessions, she was improved to the point that her limp was almost unnoticeable, and her mood was bright and happy again. From there we have been exercising per Josh’s recommendations. Having Josh come to our home was great! Nina is afraid of people, but in her own environment she warmed up to Josh quickly. I also appreciated the fact that Josh gave use exercises so that we could work on our own in between sessions. I was also impressed that Josh told me when he thought he could really do no more for her; he did not try to extend her sessions just for the business. It’s impressive to see someone who really loves and cares about helping animals. If your dog is suffering, I would not wait. I believe that Josh will give you an honest assessment. He helped Nina and had I found him sooner, I could have saved Nina pain and myself worry and money. Age and injury can be difficult for anyone, but it’s especially hard on a little dog that cannot talk to you. The person that recommended Josh told me he was a “miracle worker” and in Nan’s case it was true!
