Meet Abby 💕 Our Patient of the Week

Our silky little Pekingese queen is strutting her way back to confidence while her patella recovers and she’s doing so well with laser therapy and some gentle fun in the pet gym.

Exceptionally well-trained, lovingly spoiled (home-cooked meals and filtered water only, please), and wrapped in kisses from her devoted mommy, Abby has been through a tough year after losing her sister. Now she’s taking things one brave step at a time.

A silky ball of hair, a heart full of love (maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline 💅🐾).

We’re so proud of you, Abby girl 🤍

Meet Harley 💛✨ Proof that age is just a number and 'golden' years can still be full of sparkle!

This beautiful Golden Retriever has joined us to improve her mobility and comfort as she navigates life with osteoarthritis. With gentle physiotherapy, we’re helping ease those stiff joints, keep her moving happily, and make sure every step is as comfortable as possible.

Harley is lively, endlessly cheerful, and clearly knows exactly how to work a camera - a true natural in the photobooth. 📸
That said… all modelling contracts were negotiated with treats. Lots of treats. Because no photos were taken without a little “motivational snack strategy” involved. 😉

We’re so excited to be part of Harley’s journey and help keep her feeling fabulous in her golden years.

Most dog parents focus on pace, distance and movement, but dogs need moments to process their environment. A thinking break is a short pause where they sniff, scan and take in the world around them. It supports calm behaviour, reduces overstimulation and helps them settle better at home. Letting your dog slow their mind is just as important as letting them stretch their legs.

Meet little Leo 🐾

Leo joined us on a very special journey to regain the use of his legs after suffering severe head trauma that left him unable to move his limbs properly. From the very beginning, his determination has been nothing short of inspiring.

Even in these early sessions, we’ve already seen incredible progress - tiny kicks, purposeful movements, and some wonderful swimming moments on the water treadmill… all sparked by a few strategic toe tickles to remind those legs what they’re capable of.

But Leo’s greatest motivation stands right by his side. His loving mom attends every session, cheering him on from the sidelines. The moment he spots her, his face lights up and his tail starts wagging, a reminder that healing is powered by love as much as therapy. 💛

We’re so proud of you, Leo. This is only the beginning, and we can’t wait to see how far those little legs will take you.

And between us… he may just be the social media manager’s favourite - she has a very soft spot for this charming, fluffy superstar. 😉

The tiniest ‘Tongue Out’ with our office buddy Chloe who has been staying with us and receiving care while her mommy is away. Chloe spends her days in her bed on desks or office chairs (thrones), dazzling us all with her beauty while the fan blows a breeze through her hair. At night she curls up on the bed with her sleeping cat buddy Gracie.

But Chloe isn’t just here to charm us, she’s also working hard on her recovery. This little Yorkie is receiving hydro and physio therapy for a bilateral luxating patella, and she’s been doing absolutely wonderfully.

Even with all her royal duties and therapy sessions, she never forgets her mommy, who she misses every day.
We’re so proud of this tiny queen and can’t wait to reunite her with her favourite human very soon.

Belle the brave 💕

Fresh from knee surgery and already walking so well, Belle has been gently strutting her stuff - shaved leg and all. Sweet, shy, and quietly stealing hearts, she’s taking her recovery in her stride 🐾 with plenty of well-earned naps under the air conditioner to beat the heat.

So proud of this beautiful girl and her steady progress.

Veterinary Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation (also often referred to as Veterinary Physiotherapy) is the treatment of dysfunction in the musculoskeletal and neuro-muscular systems as well as the maintenance of optimal function and the prevention of dysfunction. Veterinary physiotherapists work alongside veterinary specialists and surgeons and the goal of our profession is to maintain, restore and maximise optimal movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan of an animal.

In general, most of the animals being referred for physiotherapy include horses, dogs and cats, but we are often we are fortunate to treat and array of other species as well.

What makes veterinary rehabilitation such an important aspect of the recovery process is patients that undergo surgery, such as fractures or ruptures of the cruciate ligament, or neurological conditions, have changes to cartilage, bone, muscle, tendons, and ligaments. For example, dogs may lose one-third of their muscle mass in the rear limbs following surgery for a cranial cruciate ligament rupture and it may take over one year to regain the lost muscle tissue. In some case, complete recovery may not occur.

The use of physical rehabilitation is based on the principle of Active Recovery. In abbreviated form, the body and injury will recover faster with controlled activity than with complete rest (passive recovery). Through controlled activity, tissues of the body maintain elasticity and higher levels of functioning. This is true of muscles as well as articular cartilage. Patients that are involved in physical rehabilitation tend to recover quicker, maintain more muscle mass and lose less motion of their joints. This translates into the patient returning to normal activities sooner than patients that use the passive recovery method.
