When does a dog need physiotherapy?
Dog physiotherapy can play a vital role in recovery and rehabilitation, improving your pet’s comfort and quality of life. Most of the dogs we treat have recently undergone surgery or sustained an injury, often after a fall, road traffic accident, or musculoskeletal issue.

-
Rebuilding strength after spinal injury or surgery
-
Suffering from arthritis, joint stiffness or age-related decline
-
Rehabilitating following trauma or accident
-
Showing signs of pain, reduced mobility, or reluctance to exercise

What’s involved in dog physiotherapy?
Every dog is unique, which is why every treatment plan is tailored to your pet’s individual condition, age and temperament. Sessions may include:
-
Manual therapy (soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation)
-
Electrotherapy to reduce pain and support healing
-
Controlled exercise and movement plans
-
Home-care advice for strengthening and recovery
-
Progress monitoring and liaison with your vet
Our aim is always to reduce pain, improve movement and help your dog return to their usual activity levels, while also supporting your confidence in managing their recovery at home.
