Meet Honey 🍯

Honey suffered spinal cord damage caused by an injury to one of her intervertebral discs. She underwent hemilaminectomy surgery to relieve the pressure on her spinal cord, and has been attending weekly physio sessions to help regain her balance, coordination, and proprioception.

When we first met Honey, she couldn’t walk.
But thankfully, she has the most amazing owners at Midlands Rescue (a charity truly worth supporting), who have been completely dedicated to her rehabilitation journey 🐕

With the love of her rescue family and the teamwork at Loyalwill Hydrotherapy Centre… Honey is now walking!

This week, she strutted into the clinic all by herself to see Steph — and, of course, the treat pot 🍪👀

We can’t quite describe the feeling of watching Honey regain her independence and get back on her feet.

We’ve had the privilege of working with this lovely girl for a while now, and her progress has been nothing short of incredible 🐶❤️🍯

Meet Monster 🐾

This sweet old boy has been visiting us regularly for his weekly physiotherapy sessions to help manage his osteoarthritis and lameness.

He’s quite the character…always eager to head out the door (though we know he secretly loves us)! We absolutely adore him 🥰

If your dog has been limping or walking unevenly for as long as you can remember, it might seem like just “how they are” but chronic limping is usually a sign of an underlying issue, not a quirky trait. Dogs are incredibly good at hiding pain, so even if they seem happy or playful, that limp could point to joint problems, injury, or a neurological condition.

As physios, if a dog comes to us limping and it’s not mentioned on their referral form, we can’t just jump into treatment. We’re required to send them back to the vet first to make sure there’s no underlying condition that needs medical attention. It’s all about keeping your dog safe, getting to the root of the problem, and making sure we’re treating the right thing and creating the most effective treatment plan!

It’s not always a yelp or a whimper. Pain in dogs can look like stiffness, avoiding the sofa jump, or just seeming 'off'. If something feels off, it probably is. Let’s catch it early and keep them moving comfortably. You’ve got the eye—we’ve got the plan🐶🐾

Ever wondered what’s actually happening during your dog’s laser therapy treatment? Let’s break it down… 🧠💡

We’re using photobiomodulation, a therapeutic application of light that penetrates deep into tissues to stimulate cellular repair and mitochondrial activity. This boosts ATP production, enhances circulation, and reduces pro-inflammatory markers. 🔥➡️❄️

It accelerates healing, reduces pain, and helps your dog move more comfortably. Whether we're targeting arthritic joints, soft tissue injuries, or post-surgical sites, each protocol is tailored for your dog’s specific condition, using precise wavelengths and dosages.

🎯 It’s non-invasive, pain-free, and scientifically evidenced and it’s playing a key role in your dog’s rehab journey.

We get it… summer is finally here ☀️and it’s tempting to head out for longer walks or add in extras. But suddenly ramping up your dog’s exercise can lead to sore joints, muscle strain, or flare-ups of old injuries — especially in older dogs or those with existing issues.

🐾👣 Keep walk durations consistent, even if the weather is lovely. Gradual increases are fine if you're working toward a goal and it’s appropriate for you dog— but big jumps can do more harm than good.

The other month someone asked Steph if the police car they had just seen outside the clinic was there to arrest her for ‘criminally bad parking’ 🚓… we can confirm this is not the case (so she says) 👀😅

What we can say for certain though is that the occupant of the car, RPD Gru, has an important message to share!

We’ve been supporting Gru in the clinic for over a year alongside the fantastic teams Nupsala, The Renew Clinic, and Loyalwill Canine Hydrotherapy Centre 🩺. Gru served 3 years in the Northamptonshire Police Dog Unit as a general purpose police dog before sadly being retired due to injury.

Hearing stories about how Gru helped detain countless criminals in the line of duty while protecting his handler and the general public puts into perspective how amazing our police dog section is 🦴. Although Gru has helped put many criminals behind bars over the years, he is the world's biggest softy 🧸 and can usually be found sitting on Steph’s lap for a pre-treatment cuddle 🐶

Hero paws - Life AFTER service and the NRFSA are two fantastic charities that work hard to support service dogs in their retirement 🐕‍🦺. A lot of people don’t know this, but when service dogs retire, all responsibility for their care falls on their handler or new owner — and it’s often very difficult or even impossible to find insurance to cover them.

Gru’s handler and some other members of Northamptonshire Police Service are setting out to accomplish the Three Peaks Challenge ⛰️ in full kit, in under 24 hours. That’s roughly 23 miles, 70,000 steps, and 10,000 feet of elevation— in under a day! 😮🥾⏱️

This post is not only to let you know how much we all love RPD Gru, but also to raise awareness about what Hero Paws and NRFSA are doing 🫶🐾. We’re just about to make our donation to support the handler’s Three Peaks Challenge, but if anyone is interested in donating anything to their cause to help with the treatment of retired service animals in need, please check out the link below: 👇

We often get asked in clinic if dogs can get back pain like humans — the answer is yes, they can! 🐾

We support lots of dogs with IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) 🦴 which is a condition that can affect a dog's back and mobility in a number of ways. Like humans, symptoms and severity of spinal injury can vary, which is why dogs suffering with IVDD need to have tailored expert care 🐶

Those of you who have dogs with spinal conditions that come into the clinic know that we are keen to get you set up with your home ‘toolkit’ 🧰 to help you support them at home! Those of you who come into the clinic also know that we have an ‘ever growing’ selection of equipment and therapies to help keep your dog supported (because Steph can’t stop filling the new clinic up! 😄)

If you, or someone you know, has a dog living with a spinal condition, help spread the word that physiotherapy can help! 🗣️🐕‍🦺✨

🐣🌷 Happy Easter from Driscoll Therapy! 🌷🐣

I'm not usually stuck for words, but I'm thrilled to announce that for the second year running, I've has been named a finalist for Animal Therapist of the Year! 🏆 It’s such an honour to be recognised again, and it wouldn’t be possible without your continued support and the incredible animals we get to work with every day 🐾 - Thank you, truly.

A huge thank-you to those that nominated me...it truly means a lot and I'm looking forward to keeping you all updated with the process! 🐕 ... a date in the diary for the awards evening where I can't wear scrubs!

We’re also feeling truly settled into our new clinic in Bulwick – thank you to everyone who’s visited and helped make it feel like home. It’s been a fantastic new chapter for myself and Diana 📚 I can't thank the team at the Bulwick Estate enough for letting Driscoll Therapy find it's new home here!

Diana is in the clinic today but after today, we'll both be off and returning to the clinic on the 22nd when I aim to be 99.9% chocolate! 🍫

Have wonderful Easter and remember to do you physio homework! 💪
