H&G Open House: Prevention & Rehabilitation of CCL Injuries

Join Melinda Harris, CVT, CCRP (Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner) for a discussion on CCL injuries, including physical therapy and rehabilitation post-CCL surgery, ongoing techniques for maintaining ligament health post-injury, and tips from a rehab specialist POV on how to prevent CCL injuries in the first place.

Melinda helped launch the Canine Rehabilitation Program at Riverbend Animal Hospital in MA, where post-orthopedic surgery patients go through a rehabilitation regimen with her. She also specializes in pain management and improving quality of life in her work with arthritic dogs, overweight dogs, and geriatric patients.
