🐾 Super Sid the Chihuahua! 🌟

This little legend is recovering from a TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) — a surgical procedure that helps stabilise the knee after a cruciate ligament rupture, one of the most common injuries in dogs. 🦵✨

Now that Sid’s knee has healed, he’s been working hard in his physiotherapy sessions to rebuild muscle, improve strength and regain confidence in his movement. 💪 Through a combination of targeted exercises, balance work and massage, Sid’s making fantastic progress — his owner says he’s now able to walk further than before without getting tired! 🐕❤️

We’re so proud of how far he’s come — small dog, huge determination! 💥

🐴💚 Physio day for this gorgeous boy!

He’s been having some treatment to help with a splint and a bit of stiffness in his fetlocks, as well as a good all-over maintenance session to keep him feeling his best.

Physiotherapy isn’t just for when there’s a problem — regular sessions help keep horses comfortable, supple, and moving freely, supporting performance and preventing future issues.

Always a pleasure helping this handsome lad stay happy and relaxed 🥰

🐾 Feline Recovery Spotlight: Daisy’s Journey After FHNO Surgery 🐾

This beautiful girl Daisy recently had surgery to help her move more comfortably again. She was diagnosed with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, a condition that affects the blood supply to the femoral head (the “ball” of the hip joint). This causes the bone to weaken and collapse, which can be really painful and make walking difficult.

To relieve her discomfort, Daisy’s vet performed a Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy (FHNO) — a procedure that removes the damaged part of the bone. Over time, her body will form a false joint made of muscle and soft tissue, allowing her to move freely without pain.

💪 Physiotherapy is a key part of Daisy’s recovery!
After FHNO surgery, it’s common for cats to feel hesitant about using their operated leg. Physiotherapy helps them rebuild strength, confidence, and mobility by:
✨ Encouraging gentle weight-bearing and limb use
✨ Improving flexibility and range of motion
✨ Strengthening the muscles around the hip
✨ Reducing discomfort through massage and soft tissue work
✨ Restoring balance and coordination

Daisy’s sessions have included massage, passive range of motion, and progressive strengthening exercises — and she’s already showing brilliant progress! She’s using her leg more confidently each week and enjoying her playtime again 🐱💚

With the right care, physiotherapy, and a bit of patience, cats like Daisy can make a full, happy recovery after FHNO surgery.

🐾
If your cat is recovering from surgery or struggling with mobility, physiotherapy can make a huge difference to their comfort, confidence, and quality of life.

🌟 Small dogs, big personalities – and they need strong bodies to match! 🌟

Meet Bertie the Dandie Dinmont! 🐾 His owners wanted to make sure everything was okay with his musculoskeletal health – a smart step in keeping him comfortable and active.

Bertie had a physiotherapy check, along with some massage and red light therapy to support muscle relaxation, circulation, and overall wellbeing. Regular check-ups like this can help spot small issues early, prevent injuries, and keep our dogs enjoying life to the fullest 💛✨

💙 Meet Blue 💙

Blue is a French Bulldog recovering from IVDD surgery. He has been making great progress in hydrotherapy and has now started a physiotherapy programme to run alongside his hydro sessions.

At the moment, Blue can walk but is still wobbly through his back legs. Physiotherapy will focus on:
✔️ Strengthening his hindlimbs
✔️ Improving coordination and stability
✔️ Supporting his post-surgical recovery

The combination of hydrotherapy and physiotherapy provides a tailored, progressive approach to help Blue regain function and improve his quality of life. 🐾

💡 Physiotherapy plays an important role in IVDD recovery by helping rebuild strength, protecting the spine, and encouraging safe, functional movement. Combined with hydrotherapy, it provides a tailored, progressive approach to maximise recovery and quality of life. 🐾

🐾 Fred 🐾

🐶 Came to me with hind limb lameness, being very reluctant to put the affected leg down and fully weight bear.

Without a clear diagnosis, we worked holistically — using gentle techniques, tailored exercises, and hands-on therapies — to support his body as a whole.

The aim? To help restore comfort, mobility, and balance so Fred can enjoy life to the fullest 💛✨

🐶 Patrick’s IVDD Recovery Journey 🐾

This is Patrick, a Dachshund who was diagnosed with Grade 3.5 IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). IVDD is a common condition in Dachshunds where the discs between the vertebrae degenerate and can compress the spinal cord, often leading to sudden paralysis.

Patrick required surgery to remove the disc material and relieve the pressure on his spinal cord. Before his surgery, he had lost the use of his back legs – a frightening experience for both him and his family.

Now, just 3 weeks post-surgery, Patrick is having physiotherapy twice a week, alongside exercises at home. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in IVDD recovery by:
✅ Maintaining muscle strength while mobility is reduced
✅ Supporting spinal healing and circulation
✅ Encouraging correct movement patterns
✅ Helping dogs regain the ability to stand and walk

Thanks to his hard work (and his family’s dedication), Patrick is already able to stand and put weight through his back legs – a fantastic milestone in such a short time after surgery.

His journey highlights how early physiotherapy intervention can make a huge difference to recovery outcomes in IVDD cases. With time, consistency, and ongoing support, Patrick has a great chance of regaining even more mobility.

💙 Well done Patrick – we’re so proud of your progress!

👉 If your dog has been diagnosed with IVDD or is recovering from spinal surgery, physiotherapy can support their recovery and help them regain independence. Get in touch to find out how I can help.
