Your Holistic Treatment Plan

We start with a thorough assessment of your pet’s condition using a variety of tests to analyse:

• Posture and stance
• Gait and ability to navigate obstacles
• Muscular symmetry and tone
• Range of motion

Next, our therapists create a holistic treatment plan tailored to your pet’s own specific needs.  Each plan includes a range of techniques aimed at improving and maintaining mobility, whilst reducing pain and improving quality of life. 

• Massage
• Myofascial release
• Stretches
• Cryotherapy to reduce inflammation
• Thermotherapy to increase blood flow, promote muscle relaxation and reduce pain
• Exercise Prescription of tailored exercises to carry out at home between treatment sessions
