How can physio help?

Physiotherapy can offer help with many physical problems your dog may be suffering with. Working alongside your vet and any prescribed medications, physiotherapy can improve strength and function allowing your dog to regain and maintain their daily activities; while minimising pain and discomfort.

​

After gaining consent from your vet (legally this must be sought), a home visit will be arranged. A thorough assessment of your dog will take place covering:

  • A detailed history from you,

  • Assessment of how your dog walks and moves, rests and interacts,

  • Hands on assessment for pain, joint range and soft tissue problems. 

After the assessment a treatment plan will be agreed with you, and your dog will receive their first session. The need for ongoing treatments will be individually planned with you.

A report will be sent to you and to your primary vet.

Highly recommend this lady. She worked wonders with my dog who had a back injury who is a nervous rescue and Carol was just amazing with her.
