Apollo Animal Physiotherapy & Hydrotherapy Movement + Function Expertise for your Canine Companions.
5* Veterinary Physiotherapy + Hydrotherapy services based in Ramsgate, Kent.

I firmly believe that each human being has something in this world that they are supposed to devote their time and passion towards. The Japanese call this idea ‘Ikigai’ – a reason for being. There are four parts to this concept. The first is “that which you love” – I have had a strong, deep connection to animals since I can remember. I would count down the seconds at school until I could run all the way to the stables! I have a very old ex-racehorse, a spirited younger horse that I’ve had since he was a foal, and a 7 yo black labrador, all of which I love dearly. They are my version of meditation every day – my absolute favourite part! The second part to ‘Ikigai’ is “that which you are good at” – my devotion to animals has led me down a path of self-enlightenment regarding animal welfare. In retrospect, I have had many animals in the past who were signalling to me that they were not 100% comfortable. However, I was not aware of their condition, simply because I did not know to look for the signs! My inquisitive nature has inspired my career journey through Master’s Level training with the University of Nottingham & a consistent minimum of 3 CPD activities a year alongside professional body IRVAP. The third part is “that which the world needs” – I support the idea that we must all try to leave the world in a better place than we found it, and I intend to make an impact on the lives of the animals I work with through improvements in the awareness of animal welfare. My career has enabled me to access an unprecedented amount of high-quality, peer-reviewed research. Through the acquisition of this knowledge I am now able to pass this on to other people through the services of physiotherapy. The last is “that which you can be paid for” – let’s be honest, we all need to make a living. But I’m not just being paid in money! I am being blessed with the variety of personalities I get to work with, as well as being part of the team that allows them to live a happy, functional life. I count my blessings every day; grateful that I am able to make a difference through a career that I absolutely love. Fully insured & member of professional body IRVAP, Laura provides mobile physiotherapy for horses & has a rehabilitation centre with hydrotherapy services in Ramsgate, Kent for dogs. Services are charged independently, with mileage for services 20 miles outside of Ramsgate. For enquiries, please email apolloanimalphysio@gmail.com, or message us on Facebook.

Happy 9th birthday Lola 🎁🎈🎂

Lola has shoulder OCD. This is where a bit of cartilage "flaps" in her shoulder joint and restricts the shoulder movement.
Lola has been coming to the clinic regularly for years and we are proud to say we have kept this condition from causing other compensatory issues.
Lola still lives life to the max and is one gorgeous, happy and kind young lady whom we hold very close to our hearts.

Spotlight on one special patient of ours - the beautiful Meredith 😻
Meredith has been born with quite severe hip dysplasia. She is a house cat and gets bothered by the poor alignment of her back legs and compensates through her front paws, causing discomfort here too.
Meredith's owners provide her with a diligent home programme that has seen her grow from strength to strength. She is now a lot more active and independent ❤️
We are slowly acclimatizing her to the treadmill to get her even stronger 💪
Show some love for this absolutely gorgeous pusscat 🥰

Welcome to Apollo - Animal Physiotherapy Services

I firmly believe that each human being has something in this world that they are supposed to devote their time and passion towards. The Japanese call this idea ‘Ikigai’ – a reason for being. There are four parts to this concept. The first is “that which you love” – I have had a strong, deep connection to animals since I can remember. I would count down the seconds at school until I could run all the way to the stables, and if you had a dog you could almost forget any interaction with me – I would be talking pretty much exclusively with your dog! I have a very old ex-racehorse, a spirited younger horse that I’ve had since he was a foal, both of which I love dearly. They are my version of meditation every day – my absolute favourite part!

The second part to ‘Ikigai’ is “that which you are good at” – my devotion to animals has led me down a path of self-enlightenment regarding animal welfare. In retrospect, I have had many animals in the past who were signalling to me that they were not 100% comfortable. However, I was not aware of their condition, simply because I did not know to look for the signs! My inquisitive nature has inspired my career journey through Master’s Level training with the University of Nottingham & a consistent minimum of 3 CPD activities a year since my graduation. I am developing specialist knowledge surrounding the equine distal limb (watch this space for my hoof boot fitting service!). It is imperative to be a lifelong learner with an open mind to truly be the best in your field that you can be.

The third part is “that which the world needs” – I support the idea that we must all try to leave the world in a better place than we found it, and I intend to make an impact on the lives of the animals I work with through improvements in the awareness of animal welfare. My career has enabled me to access an unprecedented amount of high-quality, peer-reviewed research. Through the acquisition of this knowledge I am now able to pass this on to other people through the services of physiotherapy.

The last is “that which you can be paid for” – let’s be honest, we all need to make a living. But I’m not just being paid in money! I am being blessed with the variety of personalities I get to work with, as well as being part of the team that allows them to live a happy, functional life. I count my blessings every day; grateful that I am able to make a difference through a career that I absolutely love.
