At AIM Rehabilitation, we know that rehabilitation and performance optimization don’t always require an in-person visit. Whether you’re a horse owner, dog owner, veterinarian, or zoo professional, our virtual consultations provide the expert insight, movement assessments, and customized rehabilitation plans needed to help your animal recover, build strength, and perform at its best—no matter where you are in the world.

Dr. Carrie Schlachter, an industry-leading rehabilitation specialist, offers science-backed strategies to help owners, trainers, veterinarians, and caretakers navigate injury recovery, movement correction, pain management, and preventative care.

A Tailored Approach to Healing & Performance

Every animal is unique, and so is their rehabilitation journey. Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, your dog needs mobility support, or an exotic animal requires a structured rehabilitation plan done using solely R+ techniques, our virtual consultation services provide clear direction and collaborative care every step of the way.

What to Expect from an AIM Virtual Consultation

✔️ Comprehensive Evaluation – A deep dive into your animal’s history, condition, imaging, and movement analysis to assess their needs.
✔️ Collaborative Treatment Plan – A structured rehabilitation protocol designed in coordination with your referring veterinarian or caretaker.
✔️ Ongoing Support – Regular follow-ups to adjust the program, answer questions, and track progress.

Case Study: Virtual Rehabilitation Success – ‘Rio’ the Warmblood & ‘Max’ the Senior Dog

Equine Case: Rio

Rio, a 12-year-old Warmblood gelding, was diagnosed with sacroiliac dysfunction and chronic back pain. His owner had tried traditional treatments, but Rio continued to struggle with discomfort, short-strided movement, and topline loss.

✔️ Virtual Consultation Findings: Dr. Carrie analyzed Rio’s movement and imaging, then developed a structured rehab plan, including:
✔️ Core activation exercises to strengthen his topline.
✔️ Progressive groundwork and in-hand work to improve mobility.
✔️ Targeted therapies like PEMF and laser therapy.
✔️ Saddle and movement analysis to correct compensatory patterns.

✅ Outcome: Within eight weeks, Rio showed marked improvement in engagement and suppleness. His topline filled out, and he returned to full work—pain-free and thriving.

Canine Case: Max

Max, a 12-year-old Border Collie, was struggling with hip arthritis and reduced mobility. His owner sought a virtual consultation to explore non-surgical options.

Virtual Consultation Findings: Dr. Carrie assessed Max’s movement and history and recommended:
✔️ Gentle range of motion and strength-building exercises to improve muscle function.
✔️ Daily PEMF therapy sessions to reduce inflammation.
✔️ Dietary adjustments & joint supplements for optimal support.

✅ Outcome: Within six weeks, Max was moving more comfortably, engaging in longer walks, and showing renewed enthusiasm for play.
