✨ New kit just dropped ✨

I’m excited to introduce my stance analyser to Vier Animal Physiotherapy 👀🐾

So… what does that actually mean for your dog?

A stance analyser measures how much weight your dog is putting through each limb while standing. This gives us objective data, not just what we can see with the naked eye.

🔍 Why this is a game-changer for owners:
• Spots subtle lameness before it becomes obvious
• Helps identify compensation patterns (even in the “good” legs)
• Tracks progress clearly during rehab and treatment
• Takes the guesswork out of “are they actually improving?”
• Supports better, more tailored treatment plans

Whether your dog has arthritis, is post-op, or you just know something isn’t quite right — this gives us real numbers to guide decisions and show improvement over time 📊🐕

Because your dog can’t tell us how they’re feeling… but their stance can 💚

Such a good practical day today on my McTimoney training, working hands-on with horses 🐎✨

Really valuable time refining assessment, feeling subtle asymmetries, and seeing how small, precise adjustments can make such a big difference to movement and comfort. Nothing beats learning on real bodies, in real time.

Tired hands, busy brain, and lots to reflect on — exactly how a practical day should be 💭🙌

Ever noticed how some dogs completely switch off during physiotherapy? 😌🐾

Physio isn’t just rehab — it can be deeply relaxing. Gentle massage, laser therapy and slow, controlled movements help calm the nervous system, ease muscle tension, and reduce pain. That’s why you’ll often see soft eyes, heavy heads, deep sighs… even the odd snore 💤

For dogs living with stiffness, arthritis or recovering from injury, relaxation plays a huge role in healing. A calm body moves better, responds better, and feels better.

Those moments when a dog leans into your hands? That’s not just relaxation — that’s trust 💛

✨ Class 3B Laser Therapy – Helping Dogs Heal, Move & Feel Better ✨

Class 3B laser is a powerful, scientifically proven, pain-free treatment we use at Vier Animal Physiotherapy to support dogs with injury, post-surgery recovery and long-term maintenance.

It helps to:
✔️ Reduce pain and inflammation
✔️ Speed up healing
✔️ Improve circulation
✔️ Support mobility and comfort

Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, dealing with a soft tissue injury, or needs ongoing support for arthritis, IVDD or general stiffness, laser can be a fantastic addition to their rehab or maintenance plan, supercharging the body’s natural healing response. Many dogs find it incredibly relaxing too 🐶💤

🐾 Meet Bertie – our lovely black lab, keeping comfortable with physio in his golden years 🐾

Like many dogs as they enter their senior years, Bertie has started to feel the effects of arthritis. Stiffness, reduced mobility, and a little slowing down are all common signs – but they don’t have to mean a poor quality of life.

Through regular physiotherapy, Bertie is supported to stay as comfortable, mobile, and happy as possible. His sessions focus on:
• Reducing pain and stiffness
• Maintaining muscle strength
• Supporting joint mobility
• Improving overall comfort and confidence in movement

Arthritis is a progressive condition, but with the right management, dogs like Bertie can continue to enjoy their walks, their naps in the sun, and their time with family. Physiotherapy plays a huge role in helping senior dogs stay active and comfortable for longer, rather than waiting until they are really struggling.

Bertie is a perfect example that ageing doesn’t have to mean giving up – it just means adapting and giving a little extra support 💛

If you have an older dog and are noticing stiffness, slowing down, or difficulty with everyday activities, physiotherapy can make a real difference.

🌟 Meet Pippa! 🌟
This beautiful rescue girl is currently on her physiotherapy journey to help ease stiffness in her back end — and she’s absolutely smashing it! 💪🐾

Pippa’s sessions focus on gentle mobility work, targeted exercises, and hands-on techniques to improve comfort, flexibility, and overall confidence in her movement. Even small improvements make a big difference to her daily life ❤️

✨ Physiotherapy isn’t just for injuries — it’s also a brilliant way to support older dogs as they adapt to new routines, rebuild strength, and learn to move comfortably again.

We’re so proud of Pippa and her progress so far. Go girl! 🐶💛

❤️Holly🐾

Meet the beautiful Holly 🐶

Holly is having physiotherapy for comfort, as she has had hind limb issues in the past which has now affected her forelimbs by putting extra strain on them.

As you can see, she has taken to physio really well and loved her first session.

Such a gorgeous girly.

🐾 Super Sid the Chihuahua! 🌟

This little legend is recovering from a TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) — a surgical procedure that helps stabilise the knee after a cruciate ligament rupture, one of the most common injuries in dogs. 🦵✨

Now that Sid’s knee has healed, he’s been working hard in his physiotherapy sessions to rebuild muscle, improve strength and regain confidence in his movement. 💪 Through a combination of targeted exercises, balance work and massage, Sid’s making fantastic progress — his owner says he’s now able to walk further than before without getting tired! 🐕❤️

We’re so proud of how far he’s come — small dog, huge determination! 💥

🐴💚 Physio day for this gorgeous boy!

He’s been having some treatment to help with a splint and a bit of stiffness in his fetlocks, as well as a good all-over maintenance session to keep him feeling his best.

Physiotherapy isn’t just for when there’s a problem — regular sessions help keep horses comfortable, supple, and moving freely, supporting performance and preventing future issues.

Always a pleasure helping this handsome lad stay happy and relaxed 🥰

🐾 Feline Recovery Spotlight: Daisy’s Journey After FHNO Surgery 🐾

This beautiful girl Daisy recently had surgery to help her move more comfortably again. She was diagnosed with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, a condition that affects the blood supply to the femoral head (the “ball” of the hip joint). This causes the bone to weaken and collapse, which can be really painful and make walking difficult.

To relieve her discomfort, Daisy’s vet performed a Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy (FHNO) — a procedure that removes the damaged part of the bone. Over time, her body will form a false joint made of muscle and soft tissue, allowing her to move freely without pain.

💪 Physiotherapy is a key part of Daisy’s recovery!
After FHNO surgery, it’s common for cats to feel hesitant about using their operated leg. Physiotherapy helps them rebuild strength, confidence, and mobility by:
✨ Encouraging gentle weight-bearing and limb use
✨ Improving flexibility and range of motion
✨ Strengthening the muscles around the hip
✨ Reducing discomfort through massage and soft tissue work
✨ Restoring balance and coordination

Daisy’s sessions have included massage, passive range of motion, and progressive strengthening exercises — and she’s already showing brilliant progress! She’s using her leg more confidently each week and enjoying her playtime again 🐱💚

With the right care, physiotherapy, and a bit of patience, cats like Daisy can make a full, happy recovery after FHNO surgery.

🐾
If your cat is recovering from surgery or struggling with mobility, physiotherapy can make a huge difference to their comfort, confidence, and quality of life.

🌟 Small dogs, big personalities – and they need strong bodies to match! 🌟

Meet Bertie the Dandie Dinmont! 🐾 His owners wanted to make sure everything was okay with his musculoskeletal health – a smart step in keeping him comfortable and active.

Bertie had a physiotherapy check, along with some massage and red light therapy to support muscle relaxation, circulation, and overall wellbeing. Regular check-ups like this can help spot small issues early, prevent injuries, and keep our dogs enjoying life to the fullest 💛✨
