🌸 Why I Love What I Do 🌸

As it’s Valentine’s Day, I want to share why my heart feels so full every day in my veterinary chiropractic career

💖 I love seeing the positive changes in animals through treatment — their comfort, improved movement, reduced pain, and ultimate relaxation

💖 I love being part of their journey to feeling and moving their best

💖 I love collaborating with my clients to help them achieve their goals with their horses and dogs

💖 I love working with clients who are so deeply passionate about their animals

💖 I love how every animal is unique, with its own personality and challenges — making each treatment incomparable

💖 I love witnessing the relationship between owners and their animals — it’s a privilege to support this

💖 I love the trust animals show during treatment, from the quiet moments to the clear signs of gratitude

💖 I love constantly learning and growing in my skills and knowledge to give animals the best care possible

Every treatment reminds me that what I do isn’t just a job — it’s my passion to help animals thrive

Thank you to all the amazing clients who make this “job” of mine so rewarding

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕🐴🐶

🐾⛔️ Is your dog hesitating or struggling to go up and down stairs lately? You might notice they seem unsure or slower with each step

💭🧐 You may wonder, “Are they just being careful, or could something deeper be going on?”

🦴🤕 I often see this problem in dogs experiencing discomfort in their paws, elbows, or shoulders

🐶🤔 This can lead to further restrictions, misalignments, and even pain along their backs — and it’s more common than you think

🐾🎉 After a treatment session, many clients have seen their dogs conquer the stairs and move more freely

🏠✨ If your dog is hesitating, resting between steps, or taking longer, start by checking the step surface. Are the stairs slippery? Simple changes like non-slip mats or carpet runners can help them feel more secure

🤲🏻🐶 For a long-term solution, schedule a treatment session with me. I will provide targeted treatments, and create a personalised plan to help your dog move comfortably again

✨ Routine treatments are essential ✨

🐴💆🏼‍♀️ Your horse’s musculoskeletal health affects their comfort, movement, and performance

⚖️👠 Small imbalances or restrictions can lead to bigger issues if left unchecked and untreated, just like waiting too long with routine shoeing

📈🌟 Keep up with routine chiropractic treatments to catch and correct minor issues before they turn into major setbacks

One happy (and very handsome) pup after his first treatment session! 🐶

🐾 When I first met this young dog, his owner was a bit concerned. He’d recently started struggling to jump up onto furniture and into the car boot, something that used to be easy for him

🎾 Even though he was still full of energy, loved playing with his toys, and never said no to a tennis ball, the change in his ability was noticeable. His owner, understandably, wanted to get to the bottom of it and to ensure he stayed comfortable for many years to come

What I did 🪄
✨ Consultation & Assessment – We took a close look at his daily routine to identify any contributing factors and areas which might need change. I assessed his posture and movement which gave us some key insights
✨ McTimoney Chiropractic Adjustments – These helped address skeletal misalignments, improving his movement and overall function
✨ Myofascial Release – To relieve tension and tightness in the soft tissues that were affecting his comfort

Work for his owner 🐕‍🦺
📋 Small lifestyle adjustments to reduce strain and promote better comfort at home
🦴 A tailored, low-impact exercise plan to support his progress between sessions

🤩 I’m so excited to see how he progresses and to continue supporting him on his journey!

🤲🏻🤎 Continuous care and specialised programs are key to long-term, positive outcomes

🤔 As January comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the goals you set for yourself and your horse:

👉 What did you set out to achieve?
👉 What progress have you made so far?
👉 What’s holding you back?

💭 If your horse’s performance or movement isn’t where you’d hoped it would be, or if they’re showing signs of discomfort in their routine, it’s worth asking:

👉 How might this be affecting them physically and emotionally?
👉 How is this impacting your progress?
👉 What won’t improve if you don’t take action?

⛔️🚧 Achieving your goals requires both you and your horse performing at your best. Pain, discomfort, or restricted movement can be the invisible roadblocks standing in your way

💡 Will you step into February with the support you need?

🐎 Whether you’re a professional rider or a dedicated amateur, I’ll help ensure your horse is comfortable and performing at their best, no matter the discipline or level
