Collaborative Rehab; Conversations with Your Veterinarian!
Today we are empowering you with the skills to create better conversations with your vet around rehabilitation, especially once a diagnosis has been made. We explore why a rest alone is not the same as rehab, how controlled loading and functional posture can support healing, and how owners can respectfully advocate for a more collaborative recovery plan.
In this episode, we explore
Questions you can ask your vet to guide the rehab conversation respectfully
How being proactive and taking responsibility as an owner allows your vet to help you the best they can
How rest can reduce strength, stability and core function
Why rehabilitation is about more than just walking the horse
What therapeutic tools, exercises and knowledge you can access to have an excellent recovery journey
When it may be appropriate to seek a second opinion or a vet with rehab experience
