Check out our new blog, become a follower of the blog, and you'll be able to ask Julie questions about your pet - it's free!  http://pt4animals.blogspot.com/

Julie provides a variety of services to meet your pet's individual needs. She is dedicated to providing quality comprehensive care that is competent, compassionate, and reasonably priced.  For the time being, given the move to TN, Julie will be offering home visits in the comfort of your own home for those of you within a reasonable distance. For those of you who are farther away, Julie will arrange a location to meet on the west side of Knoxville.

Evaluation and Home Program Session

  • Your pet is evaluated (range of motion, muscle mass, strength, joint integrity, gait analysis, balance, coordination, neurological exam, functional ability, etc.)
  • An appropriate treatment plan is agreed upon
  • Treatment begins
  • Extension education on the home program
  • Typically takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours
  • Fee: $100

More info about Home Programs (HP)

All pet owners are taught how to carry out the rehab/fitness program or other forms of therapy at home for their pet. Individualized HPs are designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the therapy, thereby reducing the length of treatment and the cost to the pet owner.  Note that most rehab facilities and/or physical therapists do not offer this form of program.  Julie is unique in this way...she looks to empower you and save you money and will not suggest ongoing treatment unless it is absolutely necessary!!

Additional sessions after the Evaluation

Whether we do physical rehabilitation, massage, fitness instruction, or other forms of therapy, the rate is $45 for a 60 minute session.
