Veterinary Physiotherapy Where You Are

Preparing for the fireworks this week. What are your go-to distractions for the scared dogs?

The whole weekend is dedicated to more professional learning. This time all about chronic pain that many of my lovely clients are so familiar living with.

Dodger is enjoying a diaphragm release with an indirect myofascial release technique. This extremely gentle manual therapy unwinds the connective tissue called fascia and helps balance the body.

Dodger sustained a back injury jumping from height and landing funny. This had caused his fascial system to go into protective mode and as a result, restricted his breathing and core muscle activation. He was feeling so much better after just one treatment!

Finalist!! Please keep your fingers crossed for us 🤞🏻

Handsome Bruno is recovering from IVDD surgery and has taken huge leaps forward in just a few short weeks!

Did you know that French Bulldogs are famously prone to spinal issues? The conformation of their spine puts pressure on the intervertebral discs, which predisposes them for disc degeneration and injury.

Targeted strengthening and exercise adaptations can help prevent injury. Once the spinal injury has happened, early physiotherapy intervention is key to good recovery.

We have been nominated!!!

Truly thankful for everyone's continued support. What a great way to start the week 🥰

This handsome chap (the one on the left) is Rupert.
He is a rescue beagle and he is having physiotherapy for a hip subluxation (partial dislocation) and a disc prolapse.

His physiotherapy includes pain management with LASER therapy and manual therapies and progressive strengthening exercises for his core and back legs. We have worked hard to get him from completely frightened to approach me to happy and relaxed during the sessions.

During the course of physiotherapy, Rupert has been able to go back to his normal walks, jumping on the settee and executing his usual mischief. In general, he is a much happier and more comfortable little man!

The car is back as good as new (or better)! Thank you so much to everyone who had to have their appointments rescheduled on some of the busiest weeks of the year.

And special thanks to Dan at in Yardley, who sorted _everything_ in under a week and even delivered the car to my front door!

Now it's time to take a breath and prepare for a great new year ✨️

Cats can have physio too!

Simba has physiotherapy for arthritis in his hips. Cats are masters in hiding pain, but as Simba has progressed in his physiotherapy, his owner has started to notice positive changes in his behaviour such as:
•jumping on and off higher surfaces
•playing with toys more
•improvement in mood and confidence
•more activity in general

Miss Willow takes full advantage of the physio sessions. Snoozes on the settee under a cosy blanket with the LASER on her neck, what could be better? OH, the occasional sausage treats, of course!

Willow has neurological symptoms of unknown origin. With the help of physiotherapy, she has gone from falling over her front legs and unable to get up to happily running around off lead again.

So excited for the next two days at the updating my knowledge and learning more about fascia!

This absolutely adorable sausage trio is Duke, Dolly, and Dougie.

Dolly in the middle has previously had IVDD and spinal surgery but has successfully returned to normal after a course of physiotherapy!

Dougie on the right has had no less than 3 slipped discs, two of which he has had surgery for. For the latest one, the owner has decided against surgery. Dougie is having physiotherapy to manage pain and discomfort caused by the damaged disc and the subsequent compensations. Physio will also help him maintain normal ranges of motion and preserve muscle mass.
