Canine Veterinary Physiotherapy

What is Canine Physiotherapy?

Dogs hold a special place in our hearts, which is why we go above and beyond to ensure they are happy and pain free. Physiotherapy is a powerful tool which can be used to improve your dog's quality of life, mood and performance, allowing them to live their best lives.

​

During sessions your dog's posture, movement patterns and joint range of motion will be regularly assessed to monitor their condition and improvement over-time. Treatment may include manual therapy, mobilisation techniques, electrotherapy and stretching.

 

I also offer bespoke rehabilitation plans tailored to your dog's unique needs and injury. These plans are devised whilst working closely with both you and your veterinarian to ensure a smooth recovery. Structured rehabilitation plans are vital to avoid post-injury complications in the future.

Class IV Laser therapy

Laser therapy is a proven method to reduce pain and inflammation. Laser stimulates the body's cells to heal more efficiently which speeds up recovery time post-injury. My practice offers this service for a wide range orthopaedic conditions. It is a non-invasive technique that poses no risk to your furry friend.
