⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We originally started seeing Olivia for Lola, who has pretty bad problems with her hips. We tried hydrotherapy first and Lola absolutely hated it 😂 Physio was suggested as another option and I’m honestly so glad we decided to give it a go. We were so happy with how Lola was getting on that when Paddy was later diagnosed with hip dysplasia, there was no question about who we wanted to see him. Olivia now sees both of them every two weeks. One thing I really appreciate is that she only sees them as often as they actually need. Paddy’s appointments will become less frequent once he’s settled and doing well, while Lola will eventually go to weekly appointments when she has her hip operation to help with her recovery. She’s brilliant with both of them and always explains how they’re doing, what she’s noticed and anything we can be doing at home to help. She’s also mobile and comes to the house, which is a HUGE bonus when you have another six Labradors to look after 😂 It makes life so much easier and means Lola and Paddy can have their physio somewhere they’re already comfortable. Both dogs are really comfortable with her and I completely trust her with them. Going from her treating one of our Labradors to two probably says it all 😂🐾❤️ Would 100% recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a mobile canine physio.

Olivia has been amazing with our boy. We initially went to her for gait analysis and we are now continuing with regular sessions to help manage pain through massage, excercises and red light therapy. He is quite a nervous and dog, so finding someone he feels comfortable with is really important. Olivia is absolutely brilliant with him. He settles so quickly with her and genuinely seems to love his sessions. The fact that he allows her to touch and handle him so confidently, despite being so sensitive, speaks volumes about the trust she has built with him. She is so patient, and understanding, and it is clear how much she cares about the dogs she works with. I’m so grateful to have found someone who makes him feel safe and relaxed while helping to keep him comfortable. We are really happy with his progress so far 🩷

As the owner of a recently paralysed Doxie following Grade 5 IVDD - Olivia has been instrumental in building up a support and rehab framework for Pip. By coming to our home, Olivia immediately removes all the stress of clinical environments and metal tables. She is knowledgeable, positive, realistic and very in tune with her four legged friends. I would have no hesitation in recommending Olivia to any pet owner - Pip loves her weekly sessions and is already showing significant signs of improvement.

Liv did excellent work on my old miniature chihuahua. I was hesitant at first because she’s really tiny but Liv was so gentle and understanding when Belle wasn’t so sure. Wouldn’t go to anyone else now.

Olivia massaged one of my ponies yesterday and she was very effective and efficient with her work, I was really impressed with the change and seeing how relaxed my pony became, Olivia was also very good at talking me through what she was finding and gave good advice on stretches, would highly recommend to all of my horsey friends!
