What to expect ...

Physiotherapy forms the basis of all treatment plans.

New patients will undergo a thorough initial assessment with a fully qualified veterinary physiotherapist when they first arrive at our centre. The assessment process consists of a thorough history discussion, gait analysis and hands on palpation. From this, the optimum treatment plan will be developed with consideration of your dog's medical history, current symptoms/ diagnosis and the goals of treatment.

Your dog’s well-being will always be at the forefront of our decisions.

Manual therapies

Manual techniques applied to specific areas of dysfunction and/ or restriction to release and mobilise tissues through methods of massage, myofascial release, passive range of motion, stretching and joint mobilisations.
