Individual attention

A thoughtful plan for better movement.

One-to-one physiotherapy helps dogs move with greater comfort, strength and confidence. We listen to the changes you have noticed, then gently assess movement, muscle condition and comfort at your dog’s pace.

Connected with your veterinary care.

We use your dog’s clinical history and work with your veterinary team to plan safely. New patients need veterinary referral or consent; contact us if you are unsure.

A plan that grows with your dog.

We select the right mix of hands-on therapy, exercise, movement retraining, hydrotherapy or electrotherapy, reviewing and adapting care as your dog progresses.

Practical exercise and activity guidance helps you support your dog at home, with meaningful goals agreed together.

Additional therapies, chosen for your dog.

Laser therapy

Targeted light therapy may be used to support comfort and tissue recovery where clinically appropriate.

Massage and soft-tissue therapy

Gentle hands-on techniques aim to ease muscle tension and support relaxation and comfortable movement.

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF)

A non-invasive treatment using pulsed electromagnetic fields, which may be considered as an additional tool for comfort and recovery.

Not every dog needs every therapy. We select suitable options after assessment, alongside exercise and veterinary care, and review how your dog responds.
