Wags to Wellness - Canine Massage and Rehabilitation Solutions

Wags to Wellness - Canine Massage and Rehabilitation Solutions Hi, I’m Steph! 👋
I’m a Physiotherapist 🏋️ and a Remedial Massage and Exercise Therapist for Dogs! 🐾
We service 📍Geelong 📍Ballarat 📍Melbourne

Hello, I'm Steph, the founder and heart behind Wags to Wellness. With a profound love for dogs and a background as a certified physiotherapist, I've made it my life's mission to combine my passion for our four-legged friends with my expertise in the world of physiotherapy. Since I can remember, dogs have been a central part of my life. Their unwavering loyalty, boundless energy, and boundless love

have always filled my heart with joy. I've witnessed firsthand the remarkable impact a dog can have on our lives, bringing happiness and companionship to countless families. My own furry companions have inspired me to create a haven where dogs can receive the specialized care they deserve. As a certified physiotherapist, I've had the privilege of working with both human and canine patients. The experience of helping people recover from injuries and improve their quality of life through physiotherapy has been incredibly fulfilling. However, it was my love for dogs that led me to expand my focus. I saw the potential to bring the same level of care, expertise, and compassion to our canine companions. Wags to Wellness was born from a simple yet powerful idea – that every dog deserves a life filled with vitality and joy. My vision for this venture is to provide top-notch canine remedial massage, rehabilitation solutions, all centered around the well-being of your beloved dogs. Whether it's helping a senior dog regain their mobility, aiding in the post-surgery recovery of a puppy, or simply bringing comfort to a furry friend in need, I'm committed to making a positive impact on the lives of dogs and their families. Thank you for choosing Wags to Wellness. We look forward to meeting you and your beloved furry companions. With warm regards,
Steph
Founder, Wags to Wellness

🌞🐾 Hot Weather Tips for Your Furry Friends! 🐾🌞

January is turning up the heat, and with 30+ degree days, it’s a reminder to keep our pets safe and cool! 🐶💛

Planning to take your dog for a walk? 🐾 Remember the "5-Second Rule"! Place the back of your hand on the ground and hold it there for five seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws! 🔥🐾

Hot Weather Tips:
🌡️ Walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler.
💧 Keep fresh water available at all times to keep them hydrated.
🌳 Avoid direct sun—opt for shaded areas to protect your pup from overheating.
🚫 Never leave your dog in the car, even for a few minutes—it can become dangerously hot very quickly.

Let’s keep our furry companions safe and comfortable this summer! 🐾❤️

🎾🐾 Tennis Season is Here—Time to Talk Balls! 🐾🎾

Does your pup go crazy for tennis balls? 🙌 With the Australian Open in full swing, it’s a great time to remind all the ball-chasing enthusiasts (and their humans 😉) to play it safe!

Here’s a pro tip from Wags to Wellness:
If your dog is older, injury-prone, or just a little too enthusiastic, try this:
1️⃣ Hold onto your pup as you throw the ball.
2️⃣ Release them only after the ball has stopped moving.

This reduces the risk of slips, overexertion, and injuries while adding a fun twist! 🎾 Using their nose to track and find the ball will keep their brain engaged and tire them out even faster.

Don’t worry, dog owners—I’ve got your back (and your pup’s paws)! 🐕💛

🌟 Welcome, Stella! 🌟

Wags to Wellness had the pleasure of meeting Stella, our newest client, to assess her left hind limb lameness. During her session, we observed some signs that could indicate a ligament tear or rupture, along with possible patella subluxation. Poor Stella was experiencing discomfort when her knee was flexed and was avoiding putting full weight on her leg.

Our focus for today’s session was to provide some relief and support. We started with a gentle massage on her compensating hind limb, where tight muscles were evident. To help restore balance, we also introduced exercises to encourage weight shifting back onto her affected leg.

We’ve advised Stella’s owners to consult their veterinarian for further investigation and potential medical treatment before continuing the weight-shifting exercises.

Stella, you did so well during our session, we look forward to seeing you again soon. 💕

🌈 In Loving Memory of Honey 🌈

It is with a heavy heart that we share an update about Honey, the beautiful ex-racing greyhound who stole our hearts. Unfortunately, Honey did not respond well to the steroid medications, and her loving owner made the incredibly difficult decision to end her suffering.

Honey was a gentle soul, full of grace and love. She brought so much joy to those around her and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Now, she’s running free in doggo heaven at peace.

Our thoughts are with Honey’s family during this tough time. Losing a beloved pet is never easy, and we hope the happy memories of Honey bring them some comfort.

Run free Honey! You will be deeply missed. 🐾
