Canine Physiotherapy
Dogs can suffer from a range of disorders, injuries and conditions. Canine physiotherapy can help to recover from an injury or to manage and treat conditions and disorders to keep your dog comfortable. Preoperative rehabilitation or prehabilitation, is also important with the aim to reduce complications and enhance recovery prior surgical intervention to optimise surgical outcomes. Physiotherapy can improve exercise levels, quality of life and overall mobility. I will create a tailored treatment plan to reach your goals and return your dog or as close as possible to normal function.

Maintenance treatments are also beneficial for all dogs whether they are working, sporting or pet dogs.
