EXPERT CARE FOR EVERY STAGE

Specialist Physiotherapy Tailored to Your Dog

Every dog is unique, and physiotherapy can help at many stages of their life, from keeping them active and comfortable to supporting their recovery following injury or surgery. I take a kind, individualised approach, combining evidence-based treatment with a focus on your dog’s wellbeing, so they can move more comfortably and continue enjoying the things they love.

Can Physiotherapy Help My Dog?

Physiotherapy may be beneficial for dogs experiencing:

Additional Treatment Options

Alongside hands-on physiotherapy and prescribed exercise, additional treatments may be included to support your dog’s comfort, mobility and rehabilitation. Each treatment is selected following assessment and tailored to your dog’s individual needs.

K-Laser Therapy

K-Laser Giro Core laser therapy may help manage pain and inflammation and support tissue repair. It may be considered for joint discomfort, selected soft tissue injuries & rehabilitation following surgery.

Electrotherapy

Targeted electrical stimulation TENS or NMES may be included within a wider physiotherapy plan to support pain management or muscle activation when assessment shows it is appropriate for your animal.

Maintenance & Performance

For dogs who would benefit from ongoing physiotherapy to maintain mobility, comfort, physical condition and performance. Maintenance physiotherapy can help keep your dog moving well, review changes in movement or physical condition and support the activities they enjoy, whether that is family walks, canine sports or working life.

Rehabilitation & Recovery

For dogs requiring physiotherapy following injury, surgery or illness, or those managing an ongoing condition. A structured, individual rehabilitation programme can support recovery, improve mobility and guide a gradual return to everyday activity in line with your dog’s condition and veterinary advice.

Veterinary referrals: Maintenance physiotherapy does not require referral, although your animal must be registered with a veterinary practice. Veterinary referral is required before rehabilitation treatment can begin.

Google Reviews

Olivia was fantastic for my dogs first physio session. Liv performed a thorough initial assessment and identified an issue I wasn’t aware of. I’m so grateful for her care and compassion throughout. My dog can be quite nervous but Liv was super patient and put my dog at ease. This session has really helped my dog feel like her self again post surgery. I will definitely be booking in again 🥰
