T E N S / E M S
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
Provides temporary symptomatic pain relief through mild electrical impulses.
​
Electrical muscle stimulator (EMS)
Helps regain muscle strength and mass by creating an artificial muscle contraction by activating neuromuscular junctions.
​
Used for acute or chronic pain, osteoarthritis, muscle loss/weakness and sport injuries.
P E M F
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF)
Generates a low-level electromagnetic field to reestablish cellular voltage and optimise repair in the body.
Cellular signals lead to a variety of downstream signalling pathways which help with:
-
Pain relief
-
Fracture repair
-
Inflammation
-
Calming
-
Neurological conditions
Used for osteoarthritis, hip/elbow dysplasia, fractures, IVDD and soft tissue injuries.

Uses low energy levels to treat damaged tissue by enhancing the body’s natural healing process. It stimulates wound healing, helps with pain relief and provides anti-/pro-inflammatory effects.
​Used for acute or chronic pain, osteoarthritis, post-surgery, sporting injuries, inflammation, wounds and soft tissue injuries.
T H E R M O T H E R A P Y
Epiony heat pad
Increases circulation which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. It provides pain relief by relaxing the muscle and reducing tension.
Used for osteoarthritis, muscle tension, muscle atrophy, poll tension, hip/elbow dysplasia, geriatric patients and chronic injuries.
Fuel charges will be applied based on the distance travelled by the physiotherapist. The cost is calculated by the distance on Google Maps from NN6 9Q*. The charges are as follows:
0-10 miles = free
10+ miles = £0.45 per mile
​
The fuel charge will be removed if three or more animals are receiving treatment in the same location.
