veterinary sports medicine

Veterinary sports medicine focuses on the health, performance, and recovery of active animals, particularly working or athletic pets like dogs, horses, and other sports animals. It involves diagnosing and treating injuries, preventing overuse, and optimizing physical fitness through tailored exercise plans, rehabilitation, and medical treatments. The goal is to help these animals perform at their best while maintaining overall well-being and preventing future injuries. This specialized field combines knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and sports science to support active animals in a safe and healthy manner.
