The process
Physiotherapy sessions start with clinical history; this includes any information about the animal - the more the better!
Then the assessment: a look at your animal whilst stood, moving and also hands-on. At the hands-on stage, palpation and range of motion assessments will be undertaken.
Treatment: See below.
Homework! This is the part where all the difference can be made- any exercises given optimise any treatment given and aim to give your animal the best improvement.
Hello!
I qualified with a Masters in Veterinary Physiotherapy from Writtle University College and have gone on to be a fully insured Veterinary Physiotherapist registered with IRVAP and RAMP.
My practice ethos is to treat with compassion and empathy for every animal, listening astutely to what they’re communicating to uphold their welfare and improve comfort and performance. Linking mind, body, posture, and movement with behavioral indicators ensures that, along with clinical reasoning, the most complete treatment can be conducted. Less is so often more with our animals, rehabilitation through movement is a key factor and something I value highly in practice.
In my spare time (what’s that?!) I can usually be found at the yard or with my dog Bella. I am also on the Institute of Canine Hydrotherapy Board advocating for the highest standards in canine hydrotherapy and veterinary rehabilitation as an industry!

As the Pooch Paddock has been a success, we decided to give a little back by supporting “Pooches Promise”, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the rescue of Romanian dogs.
Yes, I hear you say “Why Romanian dogs? Are there not enough dogs to rescue in the UK?”
These were my thoughts also until I stopped and thought about it and concluded that all dogs in need should be rescued, no matter where they are. Also, any dog in need in the UK will find help even if in a rescue center for a while.
We have included a donation option on our booking page if you would like to help.
