Hunts Hill Chartered Physiotherapist

Mabel is doing so well after her hemilaminectomy surgery. We try to see post spinal surgery clients as soon after surgery as possible, then initially weekly before every other week, then once monthly, dependent on each dogs progress.

Exercise therapy is a key part to any rehabilitation journey, but even more so for those that have a neuropathy of some sort. In particular those exercises should be ACTIVE exercises (where the dog is participating) rather than passive exercises (where you are doing all the work) as this helps to build new neural bridges and promotes normal movement, speeding up the time to recovery.

If you need help with your dog after surgery, do get in contact

❓Did you know that your horses notes are included as part of every session they have with us?

⭐This includes a body chart of their progress.

⏫Above is a key to the common notations that you will find on your horse's body chart.

We use a colour coded system to make it easy to see problematic areas and areas that have needed more work. This way it is easy to compare from one treatment session to the next 👍

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly.

Warm regards,

Join me in treating Bertie's Neck.

These techniques are great for improving suppleness and bend. Obviously should always be done in conjunction with your veterinary professional.

1. Soft tissue and deep tissue massage:
Improves circulation, relaxes the tissue and helps to improve movement and tissue extensibility

2. Transverse mobilisations:
Promotes synovial fluid into the joint spaces, which is the bodies natural lubricant to help movement between the vertebrae. Also enhances a strech/relax on adjoining tissues and supports the 'pain gate theory'

3. Mobilisations with movement:
A sustained joint glide is applied whilst the painful or stiff movement is carried out, resulting in instant pain free movement. A way of telling the brain to improve the movement pattern.

Any questions drop me a message ⬇️

I have 2/3 bales of straw left over from the scarecrow festival. They have just been used in our display. Seems a shame to waste them. Can anyone make use of them?

Looking for hydrotherapy for your dog? Kate at The Canine Rehab. centre is Fab 👌

🐾 Setting the Scene for Success! 🐾

When it comes to under water treadmill sessions, the environment matters just as much as the exercise itself.

💧 A calm, controlled space helps your dog feel safe and confident.
That’s why we’re committed to creating a bright, open environment, not just for comfort, but for better outcomes.

Dogs thrive in spaces where they can see clearly, move freely, and aren’t overwhelmed by noise or clutter. A light filled room with clear visibility helps reduce stress, build trust, and makes each session more productive.

🐕 Whether your dog is rehabbing, building strength, or just staying mobile, we believe a positive setting makes all the difference.

Recovery isn’t just physical, it’s emotional too. 👌
