What is the recommended duration for a typical canine physical therapy session?

The recommended duration for a typical canine physical therapy session is generally between 30 to 60 minutes. This timeframe is considered optimal for ensuring that the dog receives enough therapeutic benefit without causing fatigue or discomfort. Within this duration, a therapist can effectively incorporate a variety of exercises, modalities, and techniques designed to improve the dog's strength, flexibility, and overall mobility. A longer session might lead to diminishing returns as the dog may become tired and less responsive to the treatment. Conversely, a session that is too short may not provide adequate time to address the specific needs of the dog or achieve meaningful therapeutic goals. Therefore, 30 to 60 minutes strikes a good balance for optimal engagement and effectiveness in canine physical therapy.
