Physical Therapy

What kind of physical Therapy can I do to help my golden with hind leg atrophy.  She does have hip dysplasia, was diagnosed at 2.  So she actually has done extremely well with Homeopathic Product.  I have started the Rimadyl a few months ago.  Thank you.  Kathy

Walks are good PT and of course swimming is even better.
Keeping her at a proper weight is important also.
We have had some success with adequan injections also which are very safe.

Her leg collapses when she walks on her regular walks on the street.  She hasn't had that problem in the house.  Her weight is at 70 lbs and has been for 11 years.  

What about hot packs and massage for her hind quarter.  Thank you in advance.
