Get Fit and Mobile Program
Fitness and mobility are essential to living a healthy and productive life as well as aging well. Regular exercise and weight optimization have incredible benefits for animals including decreased pain, improved joint health, increased gut health, decreased inflammation, decreased anxiety and depression and decreased sarcopenia (muscle loss associated with aging). Just like humans, animals need to have good mobility in order to function at their best. Exercise and movement are key to keeping the brain and immune system strong, living an energetic lifestyle, and aging comfortably.
Our Get Fit and Mobile program is designed to help your pet live their best life. The program starts with an initial visit and evaluation. This visit includes a fitness/mobility evaluation, a personalized daily exercise routine to keep your pet moving and grooving along with a detailed weight optimization program including ideal caloric intake plans. We will also make further recommendations as to next steps that would benefit your pet to help with fitness and mobility.
After the initial evaluation patients can come in weekly or biweekly or as often as desired for a weight check-in, and workout session. This is a one-on-one 30 minute workout session with the doctor to include:
​
4 minute warmup
8 minutes of cardio training
6 minutes of strength training
5 minutes of proprioceptive and mobility training
2 minute cooldown
All ages, sizes and abilities are welcome. Classes will be modified for all abilities.
​
Classes are offered in individual sessions or can be purchased as packages and are designed specifically to meet your pet's needs. Content of the classes will vary greatly depending on age, size and medical conditions.
