Sit Stay Heal is a mobile canine physical therapy practice dedicated to providing comprehensive rehabilitation services to dogs in Chicago.

Our mobile service addresses the unique needs of pet owners, offering a convenient solution for those with busy schedules, transportation challenges, or dogs with severe mobility limitations. Home visits allow for a thorough assessment of your home environment, enabling us to identify potential hazards and implement safety measures. Together, we can find solutions to help your furry friend navigate stairs, access their bed, and fully engage with your family.
Canine Physical Rehabilitation
Through a detailed head-to-tail assessment, we evaluate gait, posture, strength, and range of motion. Together, we develop individualized goals and a plan that aligns with your lifestyle and strengthens your bond with your dog. Owner education and involvement are key to successful recovery and improved mobility. Each dog’s needs are unique, influenced by pre-existing conditions, genetics, and breed characteristics. A personalized rehabilitation plan can significantly benefit your pet. Our goal is to improve your dog’s quality of life, whether it is focused on preventive wellness or if they are recovering from surgery or managing a chronic condition.
Our services
Cold Laser Therapy
Laser light therapy has the potential to accelerate tissue repair and cell growth of skin, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. This therapy helps relieve pain from soft-tissue and joint injuries, stiffness associated with arthriitis, relaxes muscle spasms, and increases local blood circulation. The benefits of laser therapy include faster wound healing, increased nerve function, and decreased inflammation. Low level laser therapy is non invasive and there are no reported side effects.
Manual Therapy
Therapeutic massages and mobilizations are performed to help maintain and improve mobility and flexibility of muscles. Massage increases blood flow and helps to reduce muscle spasms, muscle tension, pain and discomfort from compensatory issues.
Canine Rehabilitation Exercises and Home Exercise Programs
Passive range of motion, assisted exercise, and active exercises are performed to help maintain and improve joint mobility and flexibility of muscles,tendons, and ligaments. The goal of these exercises is to re-develop muscle mass and regain strength and function of the limbs.
An individulaized home exercise program will be provided based on the resources available in your own home.
