Information about Elbow Displasia
A little bit of interesting information about elbow dysplasia. This is a condition that I commonly see in my patients. Recognising the signs early can help slow down the degenerative process.
Literally an ‘Epic’ Physiotherapy Session
Epic came to see me yesterday for her regular physiotherapy assessment and maintenance session. She is such a sweet little girl who loves keeping contact at all time during her treatments. She literally makes my heart melt with her constant hugs and angel eyes!
Let the adventures begin
I would like to say good luck to Cookie who can finally run free after a year and a half of physiotherapy sessions to help her recover from some orthopaedic conditions.
I will be waiting for the photos of you conquering all the Munros that you were unable to discover before.
On one hand I am so happy to see you leaving the physio room, happy with your four legs fully functioning and ready for the next challenge, but a small part of me is sad that I might never see you again. I could not be a canine physiotherapist without getting attached to my patients, there is such a special bond you create when you treat them.
Dexter – A Physiotherapy success story.
It’s always a great feeling when I watch one of my little patients leaving my physio room to go to start a new adventure, but it is also a sad feeling as I would not be able to do this job without getting attached to them.
Dexter has been a very special little patient. He came to see me having been fully paralysed with a rare condition called polyradiculoneuritis. With this condition the immune system attacks the central nervous system, primarily resulting in inflammation of the nerves that control the legs. After many weeks of intense therapy, Dexter happily trotted away from our last physiotherapy session.
Thank you so much Vanessa Henderson for trusting me and for the lovely gift and card!
Typical Rehabilitation Times for Soft Tissue Injuries
Typical rehabilitation times for soft tissue injuries
Soft tissue injuries are quite common in dogs and I am often asked how long it will take for the injury to heal.
Some dogs may recover quicker than others, however, in a nutshell, the type of tissue injury and its severity will impact the time required for the tissue to heal.
Patience and compliance to a rehabilitation program is key to a successful recovery.
If you dog has been diagnosed with such an injury, I hope that this brief summary of the average time you may expect for a soft tissue injury to heal will help you to manage your expectations.

A little bit of information about clinical canine massage by one of my colleague during Crufts.
And the good news, if you are seeking to learn how to massage your dog or would like some massage sessions for your dog, look no further. I am both a clinical canine massage therapist and a Licensed instructor from the canine massage therapy centre. I am also a canine physiotherapist, a manual therapist (osteopathic techniques) and a canine fitness instructor.
