Frequently Asked Rehabilitation Questions

  • Here at Remedy, rehabilitation is more than just exercise, it’s a hands-on, medically guided approach to helping pets recover from injury, surgery, or age-related changes. Our certified rehab team uses everything from targeted movement to acupuncture to improve your pet’s quality of life.

    • In San Francisco, we see a lot of pets recovering from orthopedic or neurologic issues, and many just slowing down with age. If your pet is struggling to move like they used to, our team can help assess whether rehab is a good fit.


  • Absolutely. At Remedy, we work with many senior dogs and cats whose only “injury” is time. Gentle rehab techniques can improve comfort, mobility, and mood, even for pets in their golden years.

  • We regularly help pets with arthritis, spinal injuries, IVDD, ACL tears, hip dysplasia, and recovery from surgery. If it affects movement or causes pain, there’s usually something we can do.

  • Your pet will meet with Sandy Gregory, our certified rehabilitation therapist and the heart of our rehab team here at Remedy. She’ll take time to evaluate your pet’s movement, strength, and comfort, and talk through your concerns and goals. From there, Sandy builds a customized plan—and if your pet is ready, therapy often begins the same day.

  • It varies. Some of our San Francisco patients come once a week; others need more frequent visits early on. We’ll tailor the schedule to what works for your pet (and your life).

  • Yes and we encourage it! Many pets do better when their person is nearby. You might even learn some home techniques to help support your pet between visits.

  • Definitely. We’ll give you practical, easy-to-follow exercises to continue the progress at home. Our team is always happy to adjust things to match your space and lifestyle.

  • It can! At Remedy, we use a mix of modalities depending on your pet’s needs; including acupuncture, laser, PEMF, massage, and therapeutic exercises.

  • Rehab is like personal training meets physical therapy—supervised, goal-based, and designed by a trained professional. A walk around the block is great; rehab takes it a step further.
