It's probably time I reintroduced myself

I'm Nicole, I've been a Physiotherapist for over 15 years and took my first animal rehab course in 2013. The cute four-legged pup next to me is Gracie, my (almost) 15 year old golden retriever and inspiration behind the name and why I love what I do.

I started Goldie's a little over 2 years ago and it's been the absolutely best experience. Animal rehab gives me the opportunity to help pets recover from injury or surgery, improve mobility and focus on ways to maximize animals quality of life.

Over the last 12 years I've learned that a dog's physical wellness isn't just about genetics or strength, but the quality of all the pieces of their life put together. Small things can make a big difference: learning to move in new ways, how to adapt your home to allow for healthy aging, understanding the importance of pet enrichment and the difference it can make when we act proactively.

Thanks for hanging out with us 🐶👩

Your Physiotherapist will:
💛 Take a detailed history (while your pet settles into the space)
💛 Perform a full mobility + gait assessment
💛 Gently check joint range of motion, soft tissue, and functional testing
💛 Create a personalized treatment approach + home exercise plan

Every visit is calm, gentle, and completely tailored to your pet’s needs.

Did you know that animal rehabilitation and human physiotherapy share far more similarities than differences?

When performed by a Registered Physiotherapist, who holds a diploma in Animal Rehab, our approach uses the same evidence-informed principles we rely on in human care—just adapted for our four-legged patients 🐾

Whether we’re working with humans or pets, we’re focused on:
• Restoring mobility
• Improving strength + balance
• Reducing pain
• Supporting safe, effective recovery
• Enhancing long-term quality of life

The science is the same—the patients are just a little furrier 😋

We thought we would shine a little light on rehab—literally!

In our rehab sessions, we use Class 3B laser therapy as part of an evidence-informed approach to help support healing and comfort in our four-legged patients 😎

When applied by a Physiotherapist certified in Animal Rehabilitation, laser therapy can help:

🐕 Support tissue healing
🐕 Promote local circulation
🐕 Reduce inflammation
🐕 Reduce pain
🐕 Decrease stiffness
🐕 Encourage comfortable movement

A gentle, non-invasive tool that fits into a well-rounded rehab plan. Laser is effectively used in combination with manual therapy, exercise, and education to achieve the best outcome possible!

Winter is almost here, so we're spreading the word about different ways rehab can help you prep your pup for winter ❄️

Cold weather can stiffen joints, tighten muscles and reduce activity levels. Not to mention deep snow and slippery conditions can lead to new injuries!

Winter Maintenance Rehab helps:
🐾 Reduce joint stiffness
🐾 Support healthy mobility
🐾 Manage chronic pain
🐾 Improve comfort on icy, chilly days
🐾 Prevention of injuries related to winter activity
🐾 Keep your pup ready for all the winter adventures 🐶

Booking available online or reach out with any questions

As the temperature drops, it’s important to find creative ways to keep our pets mobile and comfortable. Thankfully, our community is packed with pet-friendly businesses that make winter movement easy!

Think:
• Dog-friendly shops perfect for slow indoor walks 🛍️
• Warm cafés for short walk + mental stimulation ☕
• Larger indoor locations that allow for indoor walking loops 🐾
• Local pet stores with space to practice simple mobility exercises and scent activities 🐕‍🦺

It's always a good idea to take a peek at the store policy as it relates to pets in the store and never hurts to ask when you enter to make sure policies haven't changed.

Regular movement—no matter how small—keeps joints happy and muscles strong all season long. What’s your favorite winter-friendly pet spot, please share in the comments so I can add to our list! ⬇️
