PHYSICAL REHABILITATION

Rehabilitation Coach Lorraine "Rainy" Aron comes to Acacia as part of Fido’s Surgeon, providing expert postoperative aftercare working in partnership with Acacias' veterinarians as well as her Fido partner and specialty surgeon, Dr. Aron. Rainy is a licensed veterinary technician and has served as the ICU Nursing Supervisor at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital for the University of Georgia. She also served as the Veterinary Technician Rehabilitation Supervisor for Veterinary Surgical Specialists in San Diego, CA, before creating her own rehabilitation company, Fido’s Coach.

As Coach for Fido’s Surgeon, as well as the head of Physical Rehabilitation at Acacia, it is her task to create an individualized “hands on” rehabilitation plan for each patient and to coach the owner on how to implement this plan at home on a daily basis. Rainy provides expert postoperative support that takes into account not only the physical but also the mental and emotional needs of the patient. Her understanding of animal behavior comes from decades of experience along with her commitment to a therapeutic modality that prioritizes listening to the animal and openly communicating with the owner.

Physical rehabilitation is such a valuable part of veterinary medicine. We offer a state of the art rehabilitation room complete with treadmill, exercise balls, walking cart and other useful tools. With Rainy's expertise, and working in conjunction with the veterinarians, your pet is in good hands. Whether your companion is recovering from surgery or needs help with a weight or other physical issues, physical rehabilitation is the step towards whole recovery.
