Pet Performance Physio, Dromore (2026)

06/03/2026

Dogs are experts at masking pain. By the time they are actually limping, they have likely been uncomfortable for a long time.

If you live in the North Down or Dromore/Banbridge areas and have noticed your dog’s movement changing—even slightly—it might be time for a professional to check them over.

The red flags most owners miss:
- The "Bunny Hop": Using both back legs together when trotting.

- Postural Shifts: Standing with an arched back to offload weight from the hips.

- Muscle Loss: Noticeable "thinning" of the muscles over the back legs.

- Behavioral Changes: Being more "grumpy" or reluctant to be groomed in certain areas.

I specialise in Canine Physiotherapy, focusing on musculoskeletal assessment, manual techniques and advanced recovery tools like TECAR and Laser Therapy. I don't just treat the symptoms; I look at the whole dog to find the root cause of their discomfort.

📍 Where: Mobile in the North Down area or at Centre, Banbridge.
🗓 When: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays

Don't wait for the limp to get worse. Let’s address the "whispers" before they become "shouts."

When it comes to deep-seated joint pain or soft tissue injuries, standard treatments often can’t reach the source of the problem. That is why I utilise TECAR Therapy in my clinical sessions at Centre.

What makes TECAR different? 💡

Most thermal treatments apply heat to the skin’s surface. TECAR (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) is different. It uses radiofrequency to create endogenous heat—meaning the thermal energy is generated inside the targeted tissue itself.

For your dog, this means:

✅Deeper Healing: We can reach deep muscle layers, tendons, and ligaments that other modalities might miss.

✅Rapid Pain Relief: It "quiets" the pain receptors and reduces inflammation almost immediately.

✅Enhanced Manual Work: I often use TECAR to "prep" the tissue. By increasing blood flow and relaxing deep spasms first, my manual physiotherapy becomes significantly more effective and comfortable for your dog.

Whether we are treating a chronic arthritic hip or a recent tendon strain, this technology allows us to accelerate the body’s natural repair process at a cellular level.

Experience the difference in Banbridge:
🗓 Thursdays: 10:00am — 7:00pm
🗓 Saturday Mornings: 9:00am — 1:00pm

"He’s just slowing down because he’s getting older." 🐾

As a physiotherapist, this is one of the most common phrases I hear. But in the clinic, we often find that "slowing down" is actually a dog’s way of managing chronic joint pain or compensatory strain.

Dogs are masters at masking discomfort. By the time they are limping, the pain is often significant. The key to maintaining their quality of life is spotting the subtle signs early.

What to look for at home:

🐾The "Pause": Hesitating for a second before jumping into the car or climbing the stairs.

🐾Restlessness: Pacing at night or struggling to find a comfortable position to lie down.

🐾Postural Changes: Standing with a slightly arched back (roaching) or shifting weight forward to offload stiff hips.

🐾Gait Changes: Shorter steps or a "bunny hop" when moving quickly.

How Physiotherapy helps:

At Pet Performance Physio, we don’t just accept "slowing down." We assess your dogs movement to pinpoint exactly where the restriction lies.

By combining Manual Therapy to release tension with advanced modalities like TECAR and Laser Therapy, we can reduce inflammation and restore movement that you might have thought was gone for good.

Don’t let your senior dog just "get through" their day. Let's help them thrive in their golden years.

Unsure if physiotherapy is the right path for your dog? 🐾

Watching your dog struggle with mobility is stressful, and knowing which treatment or professional to turn to can be overwhelming. I want to ensure that every dog I see is a clinical fit for the services I provide—and that you feel confident in the care plan we develop.

That’s why I’m now offering FREE 15-Minute Discovery Calls.

This isn't a sales call; it’s a clinical starting point. During our conversation, we will:

- Discuss your concerns: From recent surgeries to "slowing down" in senior years.

- Review their history: A brief overview of your dog’s current mobility and any veterinary diagnoses.

- Determine suitability: I’ll provide professional insight into whether physiotherapy is the most effective next step for your dog's specific needs.

My goal is to provide clarity and a clear roadmap for your dog’s recovery or maintenance. No pressure, just professional guidance.

✨ Ready to chat? Send me a Message or Text (07568536887) and we will get a time arranged to have a chat.

Last week one of my clients went from not being able to sit at all, due to severe muscle pain and tension in their back, to being comfortable enough to sit for 20seconds without discomfort.

What made the difference?

It wasn't just the Laser therapy and physio they recieved at the 1st appointment, it was the massage techniques and home adaptations I had advised the owner the carry out that made the biggest difference.

Physiotherapy isnt just about the appointment with the therapist, its the little things you can do as the owner on daily basis.

If your keen to find out how you can help your dog feel more comfortable, send me a DM and we can have a chat 😊
