Elsinore Veterinary Physiotherapy

Welcome to all our new followers 👋

Firstly, thank you for following my incredible journey; documenting life as a Veterinary Physiotherapist 🫶

I thought this would be the perfect time to re-introduce myself as looking back I’ve only done it once!! 🙄🤷‍♀️

I’m Zara the founder of Elsinore Veterinary Physiotherapy (EVP). My small business was established in 2022 after I completed my Masters in Veterinary Physiotherapy ✨

From a very young age, I knew I wanted to work with animals & make a difference by being their voice. Both my academic & personal experiences have led me to this incredible career 🥰

I am an equine & small animal physiotherapist, treating a multitude of acute & chronic conditions. One of the reasons I love this job so much is seeing how physiotherapy can make a huge difference to my patients so they continue to enjoy & live life to the fullest! 💜

As of a couple of months ago, I took the bold plunge & went fully self-employed! The growth I’ve had in the business this year has been phenomenal & I’m excited to see how it continues to progress!

Ruby 🐶♥️

Gorgeous Ruby has regular physiotherapy sessions to increase hindlimb musculature strength & engage her abdominal muscles to support her spine 💪

Ruby is a fast learner & amazes me with how well she is completing her exercises each time I visit! ⭐️

Physiotherapy is so good for your pets mental well-being as well as their physical health- a factor I think is crucial when planning their tailored exercises! 🧠

Wonderful Seren enjoying her maintenance physio session the other week ✨

Seren regularly participates in local showjumping classes so her owner likes to make sure she is in the best condition, prioritising her musculoskeletal health ⭐️

Between myself & we are able to monitor for any changes in Seren and work as a team to support her and Seren’s owner 👏

She is the sweetest little horse & such a privilege to be a part of team Seren 🐎

Tilly ✨

Last week I saw the lovely Tilly for her initial physiotherapy session after her owners had noticed some changes in her hindlimb gait 🐕

A few months ago, Tilly had a beautiful puppy & is now in the position to start increasing her workload and building strength now pup is more independent!

Tilly’s posture & gait indicates there is potentially a weakness in the pelvic limbs and some atrophy was noted on palpation.

Over the next couple of weeks, Tilly’s owners and myself will be monitoring her closely for any changes & incorporating some exercises to build hindlimb strength & improve her posture so we can prevent further injury & get her back to her running!

Tilly is from the same household family as Loto so I always get a warm welcome from the girls when I visit! 🥰

It’s so lovely to see patients enjoying their physiotherapy sessions and feeling so relaxed after treatment ✨

Rest & recovery is all part of the process ❤️‍🩹

Barney 🐾

Barney started physiotherapy a couple of months back after he was diagnosed with grade 2 patella luxation ❤️‍🩹

He has since been working hard on his physio exercises to keep his hindlimb musculature strong & reduce risk of further injury.

His owners have been excellent at modifying his walks & regularly keeping up with his massage to ease secondary compensations 💆‍♀️

Well done, Barney! ⭐️

Last Thursday I received an email informing me I had been nominated in the Equine Business Awards 👏⭐️

These awards are such a great opportunity to recognise the outstanding work of your vet, bodyworker, dentist, farrier, behaviourist, groomers etc.

Congratulations to the 2025 finalists 🎉

Puppy love 🐾💜

I’m not sure much beats a puppy cuddle!

It’s been years since I’ve had a puppy & I forgot they like to chew everything in site! The glasses were removed promptly! 😅

How beautiful is he? 😍

🐾 Bella 🐾

Who doesn’t love a black Labrador?! 😍

Sweet Bella started physiotherapy after her vet diagnosed her with Osteoarthritis in her elbows and hips 🦴

Before Bella was rehomed from her previous owner she weighed a whopping 53kg! 😥

Very slowly, Bella lost the excess weight and reached a healthy target. Unfortunately, in that time, her joints were under huge stress & inflammation, which impacts her mobility, especially now that she is older.

However, since starting the physiotherapy, and along with controlled pain relief, Bella’s lameness has reduced & her joint mobility has improved.

We are now focusing on building muscle mass to support her hips & elbows so she can enjoy her walks in full comfort 🫶

Tina ✨

Just over a year ago, Tina sustained a traumatic injury to her left hip and after a visit to her local vet; found Tina had mild hip dysplasia and grade 2 patella luxation 🦴

Tina started acupuncture and physiotherapy shortly after the diagnosis and has done incredibly well with her progress since the beginning of her rehab journey ❤️‍🩹

Tina is the sweetest girl but is such a busy pup; so her owner keeps her stimulated in various ways including man-trailing and avoids high impact exercise that has the potential to lead to further injury.

Regular physiotherapy helps reduce any discomfort, maintain joint health by increasing range of movement and strengthening surrounding musculature 💪

A diagnosis such as hip dysplasia or patella luxation can be a worrying time for your pet but with correct intervention and adaptations to their management, they can continue to thrive & enjoy a happy life doing what they love 💜

If your dog has recently been diagnosed with any of these conditions & you would like to discuss how physiotherapy can help, please get in touch!
