🐾 Veterinary Physiotherapy: More Than Just Rehab 🐾

Just like humans, our pets can experience pain, stiffness, injury, and reduced mobility, and they don’t always show it clearly. That’s where veterinary physiotherapy comes in!

✨ How physio can help your pet: • Recover safely after surgery or injury • Manage arthritis and chronic pain • Improve mobility, strength, and flexibility • Enhance performance for sporting and working animals • Support senior pets to stay active and comfortable

Early intervention makes a huge difference. Physiotherapy isn’t just about recovery, it’s about prevention, comfort, and quality of life 🐕🐈

If your pet is slowing down, moving differently, or just not quite themselves, a physio assessment could really help.

✨ Progress Update for Dizzy! ✨

I’m so proud of how far Dizzy has come in her physiotherapy journey! Over the past few months we’ve been combining a range of treatments, including electrotherapies, targeted massage, weight-shifting exercises, and polework, all designed to boost her mobility, strength, and proprioception.

And the results are really starting to show, with her owners now noticing her jumping onto the sofa again, something she hasn’t been able to do in such a long time! 🐾💛

🐾 Meet Daisy! 🐾
 This gorgeous German Shepherd has recently begun her physiotherapy journey with me🐶

Daisy was recently diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy and has also previously undergone a hip replacement on her left hindlimb. Alongside this, she’s now developed osteoarthritis in her right hip, and together we’re working to support her strength, comfort, and mobility.

Our sessions will focus on maintaining muscle mass, improving proprioception, and supporting her overall quality of life as she adapts to these changes. Through a combination of targeted exercises, electrotherapies, and gentle manual techniques, we’re helping Daisy stay active and confident in her movement 🐶✨

🌟 Meet Cooper, the Cavapoo🌟

Cooper has recently begun his physiotherapy journey to address an intermittent lameness through his right forelimb. This has led to compensatory tension and discomfort along his spinal region, which we are now actively working to alleviate.

Our current treatment plan includes:
✅Red Light Therapy: To reduce inflammation and support tissue repair ✅PEMFT (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy): To enhance cellular recovery and improve circulation ✅Massage Therapy: To release muscular tightness and improve mobility

With a comprehensive approach to his rehabilitation, we’re aiming to restore Cooper’s comfort and mobility, helping him lead a more active and pain-free life.

✨Enhancing Canine Mobility: The Benefits of Figure of 8s / Weave Exercises✨

The Figure of 8s / weaving exercise involves guiding your pet to move through two or more markers (such as cones, poles, or similar objects) in a weaving pattern. They will then alternate between the markers in a controlled, side-to-side motion.

Key Benefits:
1. Improved Coordination: This exercise enhances proprioception and neuromuscular coordination, helping pets to develop better body awareness.
2. Increased Flexibility: The twisting motion stretches and strengthens key muscle groups, particularly in the hind limbs and spine.
3. Core Strength: Weaving promotes engagement of the core muscles, which are essential for stability and posture.
4. Joint Health & Mobility: The gentle, controlled turns encourage mobility in the joints and support overall flexibility, making it ideal for pets with arthritis or mobility limitations.
5. Mental Stimulation: This exercise requires focus, which provides cognitive benefits alongside physical exercise.

Considerations:
Always monitor their comfort level and adjust the difficulty to suit their individual abilities. This exercise is highly versatile and can be tailored for recovering from injury, senior pets with mobility concerns, or active pets in need of improved conditioning.

If you have concerns about your pets physical health, consider consulting a veterinary physiotherapist for personalised advice and rehabilitation programs.

Building Better Movement with Pole Work Exercises 🐕

As a veterinary physiotherapist, one of my go-to exercises for both rehab and conditioning is pole work!

Walking your pet through carefully spaced poles encourages: ✅Improved joint range of motion – especially in hips, knees, and shoulders ✅Increased proprioception – helping pets become more aware of where their paws are ✅Stronger core and limb muscles – essential for injury prevention and recovery ✅Better balance and coordination – great for seniors, post-op patients, and athletic pets alike ✅Mental stimulation – because a focused mind supports a healthy body

Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or just needs a fun new fitness challenge, pole work can be tailored to their needs.

📌Always check with your vet physio before starting any new exercise, especially if your pet is recovering from an injury or surgery.

🐾 Say hello to Arlo! 🐾
 This handsome pup has just begun his physiotherapy journey—not because of injury, but for muscle maintenance and general wellness checks.

Physio isn’t just for recovery, it’s also about staying strong, moving well, and catching any subtle changes early. Arlo is the perfect example of proactive care, and I’m excited to support him in feeling his best as he continues to live an active, happy life! 🐕

☀️ Do’s and Don’ts for Pet Owners in Warmer Weather – A Vet Physio’s Guide! ☀️

As a veterinary physiotherapist, I often see how heat can affect your pet’s comfort, joints, and even recovery after injury. Here’s how to help your pets stay safe and mobile in the summer heat! 🐾

✅ DO:
1. Keep them hydrated: Always have fresh water available as hydration helps with joint lubrication and muscle function. 2. Walk during cooler times: Early mornings or late evenings are best.
3. Check pavement temperatures: Hot pavement = sore paws and overheating.
4. Provide shade: Whether in the garden or on walks, make sure your pet has access to shady areas to cool down.
5. Watch for signs of fatigue: Excessive panting, slowing down, or limping could signal heat-related stress or a flare-up in mobility issues.
6. Use cooling aids: Cooling mats, damp towels, or dog-safe ice treats can help regulate body temperature. 
❌ DON’T:
1. Overdo exercise: Heat increases fatigue—don’t push your dog to do too much. Especially risky for older pets or those with mobility issues.
2. Walk on hot pavement: If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. Burns and joint flare-ups are common in summer! 3. Leave pets in cars or hot rooms: Even a few minutes can be dangerous.
4. Don’t walk during the hottest part of the day: Pavements and air temperatures can soar throughout the day, which can be dangerous for paws and overall health. 5. Ignore signs of overheating: Heavy panting, drooling, wobbling, or refusing to move are urgent signs to cool them down and call your vet.
6. Don’t ignore breed-specific risks: Brachycephalic breeds (like Bulldogs, Pugs, etc) struggle more in heat and need extra care. 
⚠️ Remember: Hot weather can worsen stiffness, inflammation, and fatigue. Stay mindful and keep your pets moving safely!
