Canine & Small Animal

• Are they struggling to get up or down the stairs?
• Do they seem stiff after their walks, or becoming reluctant to walk as far as they used to?
• Do you notice them limping or stiff after vigorous activity?
• Do they dislike you touching them whilst resting or show signs of trying to move away from you or of upset when you go to touch certain areas?
• Are they a performance dog who has lost performance or not quite reaching your next level?
• Are they lacking muscle in some areas or over muscled in others?
• Do they have a slightly “odd” movement you can’t quite put your finger on?
• Do they struggle getting in or out of the car or dislike car journeys?
• Do they sit or lie down more often than they used to, and/or sleep more?

Any of these signs (and many more) can be a sign your dog would benefit from physical therapy! They can be signs of discomfort in areas signifying underlying pathology and/or weakness and pain.

• Complete initial assessment where a history is taken, comprehensive information on management, and static and dynamic assessment as well as full palpation
• Treatment is then based on my findings where I use combinations of light/LASER therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, NMES, heat therapy, massage, range of motion and stretches
• For any follow up sessions I compare to the previous times and reassess to ensure if I can continue with the current plan or need to adjust
• You will be provided with a report on findings and exercise suggestions, as-well-as a report for your vet if necessary
