Veterinary Physical Therapy - Hydrotherapy & Rehabilitation - In-Hospital Post-Operative Rehabilitation - Puppy Socializing & Training - Animal Behaviour

20/02/2026

Raising a puppy isn’t just about cute cuddles and zoomies (although we fully support both). It’s about teaching the ten essential life skills that turn tiny chaos gremlins into confident, well-mannered legends. From polite greetings to brave vet visits, these skills set them up for a lifetime of tail wags and good choices.

Because behind every “good dog!” is a whole lot of smart puppy schooling.

Meet Void 🖤🐾

Big, black and bursting with personality! This cheerful giant has joined us for physiotherapy to build strength in his hind limbs, and he’s doing it with style. He took to the water treadmill like a pro, splashing, stomping and turning rehab into playtime!

Laser therapy? Oh, that came with a full concert. Void proudly sang us the songs of his people the entire session, he is VERY talkative and we are absolutely here for it.

Not only is he working hard in physio, but Void is also in training to become a certified therapy dog for a very special young lady and we couldn’t be prouder of this gentle, playful soul.

A big thank you to Paws with Purpose SA for taking such wonderful care of him and guiding him on his journey. We’re so excited to be part of Team Void!

Roxy has officially checked in for her 3-month stay with us, and she has already stolen every single heart in the building 💕

This shy, sweet girl arrived a little unsure of everything, but with Jarrod by her side, she bravely dipped her paws into the pool and before we knew it, she was swimming like an absolute natural!

She’s also made a very important friendship with our social media manager, who (purely professionally, of course) has been bribing her with treats during her gym sessions. Roxy has quickly learned that the gym is actually a place where good things happen… especially snacks.

When she’s not working on building her confidence and social skills, she can be found relaxing in her enormous, unbelievably soft bed (seriously, we’re all jealous), gazing up at us with her big, soulful eyes, or spending time with her lovely new friend, Belle. 🐾

Over the next few months, we’ll be keeping Roxy active, entertained, and feeling safe and loved while she waits for her big overseas adventure.

And to Roxy’s mom - we know how much you miss her, but please don’t worry. She is being absolutely adored, spoiled, and cared for every single day. She’s being so brave, and we’ll make sure she’s happy, confident, and ready for your reunion when the time comes. 💛✈️

Microchip Checkpoint 🐾

A microchip is one of the most important tools in helping lost pets find their way back home, but it only works if the information linked to it is accurate and up to date. Many veterinarians report that lost pets are brought into their practices with microchips, yet unfortunately the chips are either not registered or contain outdated contact details, making it impossible to reunite them with their families.

We encourage all pet owners to take a moment to check that their pet’s microchip is properly registered and that your contact information is current on the relevant database. It’s a simple step that can make all the difference in ensuring your beloved companion can safely find their way back to you if they ever get lost.

Double the love, double the charm 🐾❤

Meet Julius & Chronos - two handsome brothers stealing hearts in our Valentine’s booth (tongues out and charm fully activated!). Julius first joined us after his amputation and is now back to build strength, fitness, and confidence. His brother Chronos is working hard in physio to strengthen his limbs and improve mobility following hind limb paralysis.

Their journeys may look different, but their spirit is the same: brave, joyful, and full of love. We’re so proud to be part of their rehab story and to watch these two brothers thrive, one step at a time.

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.

Treatment ideally takes place in consultation with the animal’s veterinarian.

As with Physiotherapy for humans after surgery, trauma or injuries, the benefits of Physical Rehabilitation for animals are just as great. Benefits would include:

Increased speed of recovery

Positive psychological effects for the pet and owner

Improved performance and quality of movement

Increased strength and endurance

Improved biomechanics and flexibility

Reduced pain

Is a non-invasive approach

Minimal complications

Prevention of further injury through owner education

Common conditions that we see in Practice that benefit from Veterinary Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation and Hydrotherapy can be categorized in a few ways.

Front and Rear Limb Orthopedic Conditions, Neurologic Disorders, Geriatric Patients, Osteoarthritis, and related conditions. Pre-and Post-Operative Cases, Weight Management.
