We offer physiotherapy for rehabilitation of injured animals as well as performance enhancement for canine athletes.

Physiotherapy is used to treat disease, injury or deformity by physical methods such as massage, heat treatment and exercise. It aims to alleviate pain, restore function and mobility, and stimulate the natural healing process. Physiotherapy is often used in conjunction with hydrotherapy to achieve optimum results, and forms a really important part of recovery following disease, injury or surgery.

Our team can create in/out of water fitness and conditioning programmes tailored to your pet’s individual needs, ideal for general fitness, weight loss, canine athletes and show dogs.
