As the year comes to an end, we want to thank all our wonderful clients, both two-legged and four-legged 🐶. If we’ve helped your dog this year, we’d be so grateful if you could leave us a review. Your support means the world to our small business. ❤️🐾

🎄 Christmas Closure Notice 🎄

We’ll be taking a festive break from 24th December and will reopen on 5th January. During this time, we won’t be checking emails, messages, calls or voicemails as the Driscoll Therapy team takes a much-needed rest to recharge for an exciting year ahead ✨

As we wrap up 2025, we want to say the biggest thank you for trusting us to support your dogs (and a few horses too!). What a year it’s been…a brand new clinic, and the wonderful Diana and Emma joining the team ❤️

From celebrating Crufts qualifications, to helping dogs take their very first steps again in the clinic, we’ve shared some incredible moments with you all. We’re truly grateful for every single one.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you over the next two weeks before we close for the holidays…and to everything 2026 has in store 💙🐾

Ground breaking new research 🧐🎄

Murphy wants to share with you how doing your homework gets you on the nice list with Santa (and Steph and Diana) 🎅🏻…bonus points are given from the elves for the Christmas hat 🎩

Mr Murphy was in the clinic with Steph this week to have support for multiple conditions 🦴 A HUGE part of physiotherapy is helping your dog work on improving their movement, strength and mobility to support their diagnosis (and help reduce compensatory problems) 🐾

Murphy is learning and developing strength in his movement which takes time and dedication with his homework (which we can all see he’s been doing) 📚

✨ Case Study: Bella ✨
�When Bella first came to us, she was struggling with a supraspinatus and bicep injury. She was limping, couldn’t walk for long, and was very sore in different muscle groups where she had been compensating. As a team we came up with a plan….

Fast-forward to today, she’s running around, loving life and best of all… no limping at all!

Diana: I have used Bella’s story many times with new owners here at Driscoll, who aren’t sure whether physiotherapy really works, because Bella is the perfect example of why trusting the process matters! P.s she was such a pleasure to treat 😊❤️

Steph: It has been great to work with Oundle & Thrapston Veterinary Surgery and the specialist team at Abington park, to support Bella’s diagnosis and treatment. Such a good show of how what we do works!!🐶🥳

Physio is not a quick fix; it takes time, patience, and consistency. But the results speak for themselves.

We’re so proud of how far Bella has come🤍🐾

In physiotherapy we often talk about function, mobility and strength.�Owners hear these words a lot, but each has a specific meaning for your dog’s health.

• Function refers to how well your dog can perform everyday activities. Good function means their body can meet the demands of daily life without pain or compensation.

• Mobility is the quality and range of their movement. Reduced mobility often shows up as stiffness, hesitation or shortened stride length.

• Strength is the muscular power that supports joints, protects the spine, and allows stable, controlled movement. Without adequate strength, dogs rely on weaker patterns that can lead to further injury.

These three areas work together. Improving one supports the others, and addressing all three is key to long-term recovery, injury prevention and maintaining your dog’s quality of life.

🌟 Meet Emma – Our New Client Care Coordinator! 🌟
We’re so excited to introduce you to the newest member of the Driscoll Therapy team.
Some of you may already have spotted her name in your inbox, but now you get to put a face to it too. Emma will be supporting all of our wonderful clients by helping with enquiries, emails, schedule coordination, and general client care, all so that Diana and I can spend as much time as possible where we’re needed most: in the clinic, hands-on with your dogs. 🐾
Here’s a little more about Emma in her own words:
✨ “I was fortunate enough to grow up on a smallholding, which sparked my interest in working with animals. I worked in veterinary practice for five years and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2023. In my role at Driscoll Therapy, I support owners and their pets from initial enquiries through to taking their first step into the clinic, always prioritising the comfort and wellbeing of every patient. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places in our self-converted campervan and sharing endless cuddles with my very handsome tabby cat, Ralph.”
We are absolutely thrilled to have Emma on board. She brings kindness, experience, and a genuine passion for supporting your dogs and their humans.
Please join us in giving her the warmest welcome! 💚🐾
