About Canine Physiotherapy

Helping Dogs Move Better

Canine physiotherapy can help dogs recover after surgery, manage long-term conditions such as arthritis, improve strength and mobility, and support their overall quality of life.

Every dog is different. Treatment is adapted around their condition, movement, personality, lifestyle and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • Hands-on manual therapy & massage
  • Laser therapy & electrotherapy
  • Targeted strengthening & rehabilitation exercises
  • Tailored home exercise programmes

About Kirsten

Reliable Canine Physiotherapy

I've always been drawn to animals and fascinated by the way movement affects wellbeing. After years of training and hands-on experience, I set up my clinic in Rosudgeon — a calm, caring space where dogs can be helped.

My approach is hands-on, compassionate and completely tailored. No dog is the same, so every plan is built around their personality, condition and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about canine veterinary physiotherapy.

How do I know if my dog needs physiotherapy?
If your dog has had surgery, shows signs of pain or stiffness, or struggles with movement, physiotherapy can support recovery, comfort and mobility.
What if my dog doesn't like being touched?
Online gait analysis and consultations can be a useful option for dogs who find hands-on treatment stressful or who struggle in unfamiliar environments. We can assess movement from videos recorded at home and discuss appropriate exercises and support.
Do you offer online consultations?
Yes. Online gait analysis and consultations are available for owners who aren't local, can't easily travel, or have dogs who are more comfortable being assessed in their own environment.
Can physiotherapy help older dogs?
Absolutely. Gentle mobility work can make a real difference to comfort, confidence, strength and quality of life for senior dogs.
Do I need a referral from my vet?
Where your dog has a diagnosed condition or is currently under veterinary care for an issue, veterinary consent is required before physiotherapy can begin. I can help with the referral process.
How do I get started?
You can get in touch through the contact page or call 07510 271832 . If you're unsure whether physiotherapy could help, you can also take the free canine wellness check.
