The Gold Standard in Physiotherapy and Hydrotherapy for dogs
Unfortunately injuries and accidents can happen which will effect your animals mobility and general well being. They can also suffer from orthopaedic and neurological conditions which can present themselves at any stage of your pets life.

We want to see our pets happy and get them back to doing what they do best. A combination of evidence based therapeutic techniques can help them in their recovery and maintenance.
Physiotherapy checks are also advised for our competitive and working dogs. Regular checks can detect and treat early signs of muscle tension and asymmetry before they go on to cause injury.

We also use pulsed electromagnetic therapy for fracture healing and to help relax my patients. Other electrotherapies include Ultrasound, TENS and EMS.
