From agility superstars to the beloved family pet who is struggling with the stairs, our canine sessions focus on reducing pain and rebuilding strength in the comfort of your own home.
Common Conditions We Support:
- Joint Health: such as Hip and Elbow Dysplasia, Osteoarthritis.
- Post-Surgical: such as Cruciate ligament (TPLO/TTA) recovery and IVDD (spinal) rehabilitation.
- Soft Tissue: Muscle strains and "lazy sits."
- Ageing: Managing stiffness and muscle wastage in senior dogs.
How the Session Runs:
We use a consent-based approach. We never force a dog into a position they aren't comfortable with.
- Vet Liaison: We handle the admin! We contact your vet for history and consent to ensure a safe, multi-disciplinary approach.
- The "Sniff Test": We start with a chat while your dog gets used to our presence and enjoys a few treats.
- Comprehensive Assessment: We observe your dog standing and in movement (walk/trot) to identify asymmetries. Then, we check soft tissues, joints, spine, and neurological responses.
- Treatment: Think "Pet Pilates" combined with soothing manual work and advanced tech like LASER or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy.
- The Plan: You’ll receive a tailored home exercise programme via Equicantis, featuring clear video instructions.
