Underwater treadmills, acupuncture and deep-tissue massage aren’t just for humans anymore. Canine rehabilitation is a growing field of physical therapy for post-surgical pooches and unhealthy dogs.

“Most veterinary surgeons will say a dog doesn’t need a pain-management program, but that’s utterly ridiculous,” Leslie Gallagher, founder of canine rehab Two Hands Four Paws in Los Angeles, told The Daily. “It’s glaringly obvious when a dog is in pain.”

Gallagher’s rehab is one of the largest such centers on the West Coast, treating more than 500 pain-addled dogs a month.

A little doggie treadmill?? I’m sure they have this at my favorite place I’ve never visited, Eddie’s Wheels for Dogs…

I’m so excited to be taking an animal rehabilitation class next semester. :D
