Physical Rehabilitation


We are proud to offer our patients the benefits of physical therapy through our CARE facility. CARE has a full time, on staff, certified rehabilitation specialist. This fall we will even add Cape Cod’s first underwater pet treadmill. It will take our capabilities even further, and it is even heated!

It seems like a “no brainer” to us, so the speak, but no other facility on Cape Cod or even in the region offers the benefits of physical therapy. Not surprisingly, our patients are doing much better after surgery, much better with chronic pain, and just living more comfortable lives in general. After all, would you have knee replacement surgery and not have physical therapy?

Moose is a classic example of the benefits of physical therapy, and the deep belief among our staff that it works wonders. Moose is Dr. Bradley’s dog, and she faithfully takes him to CARE for his treatments. Since starting the physical therapy, Moose has gained marked muscle mass, looks five years younger, and is living a better quality of life on many levels.

And that is just one example of our mission. We work every day to provide the highest quality medical and surgical care for our patients with the most compassionate approach. We care for each patient as if it were our own pet.

So whether it is Dr. Bradley’s dog or your dog, we will do whatever it takes to make your four-legged family member feel and live better.
