Dogs and Cats

​

Physiotherapy for your pet can be part of their routine maintenance or in response to a specific condition or issue that they may be experiencing. Physiotherapy in canines and felines has become increasingly popular due to the numerous range of conditions that can be improved using a variety of physiotherapy techniques.

​

Your pet's assessment will be carried out at your home with the initial appointment lasting approximately 60 minutes. Assessment includes analysis of your dog or cats movement followed by a thorough evaluation of the joints and soft tissues. Indicated treatment will then be provided alongside a home exercise programme for you to continue with in order to optimise the treatment effects.

​
