Abstract
Physical therapy is commonly used postoperatively in humans to decrease pain, inflammation and recovery time. The same goals can be achieved in our veterinary patients using similar modalities such as; cryotherapy, passive range of motion, massage, transcutaneous electrical stimulation and low-level light laser therapy. When used in the first 48 hours following surgery, the reduction in pain, increased mobility, and decreased inflammation will aid in early return to normal function. Applied appropriately these treatments have both immediate and long term benefits.

Abstract
Post-operative care of the surgical patient significantly contributes to the success of the surgical procedure. Post-operative physical therapy is directed at reducing pain and inflammation, preventing or minimizing scar tissue, and returning the patient to full function. An individualized and well-planned therapeutic exercise program is an integral part of the post-operative care. Manual therapy techniques are utilized to break up scar tissue and reduce joint stiffness. Pain and inflammation can be addressed by modalities such as ultrasound, laser, and electrical stimulation in addition to cryotherapy.

Abstract
There is much lore about training room treatments for common overuse and traumatic musculoskeletal injuries. This review looks at the evidence behind many of the common transdermal treatments that are purported to reduce pain and inflammation and improve function. These include cryotherapy, laser treatments, electrical stimulation, ultrasound and phonophoresis, extracorporeal shock wavetherapy, and iontophoresis. In addition, there are numerous over the counter sports creams and prescribed topical treatments that are routinely used. With the pressure to treat athletes safely and efficiently, sports practitioners must rely on well-proven evidence to build the most effective treatment plans.
