Canine Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is beneficial for all dogs no matter their age, breed and size. Dogs can develop musculoskeletal issues that can lead to pain, compensatory movement patterns and secondary problems.  Physiotherapy can help resolve or manage these conditions with the use of massage, stretching, electrotherapies and remedial exercises.

  • Difficulty rising from laying down

  • Difficulty jumping in and out of the car

  • Stiffness

  • Excessive licking of joints 

  • Weight-shifting 

  • Reluctance to exercise or play

  • Behavioural changes
