Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is an essential part of care for many dogs—whether it’s supporting recovery after surgery, preparing for a procedure, or managing chronic or degenerative conditions through conservative treatment.
At our Chiswick centre, we offer comprehensive physiotherapy services delivered by NARCH- and IRVAP-accredited therapists. Our treatments combine hands-on techniques, electrotherapies, and functional exercise to support your dog’s recovery, comfort, and performance.
Hands-On Therapies for Healing and Mobility
Our manual therapies include:
- Joint mobilisation and compression – To improve range of motion and maintain cartilage health
- Massage and myofascial release – To improve circulation, lymphatic drainage, and reduce muscle tension
- Stretching and trigger point therapy – To enhance flexibility, muscle pliability, and ease soft tissue discomfort
These techniques are designed to stimulate healing, reduce stiffness, and improve your dog’s movement and comfort.
Advanced Electrotherapies
We use state-of-the-art electrotherapy equipment to support pain relief, tissue repair, and muscle activation:
- Class IV Therapeutic Laser – Reduces pain and inflammation, accelerates tissue repair and wound healing
- Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMFT) – Targets pain and swelling, and may accelerate fracture healing
- Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) – Reduces pain by interrupting pain signals and stimulating the body’s natural pain-relief mechanisms
- Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) – Strengthens weak muscles and supports re-education after injury or surgery
Tailored Land-Based Exercise Programs
Our physiotherapists also design specific land-based rehabilitation programs. These exercises can:
- Retrain gait and movement patterns
- Improve posture and coordination
- Build strength, balance, and functional engagement
- Support a return to normal daily activities
Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, managing a neurological condition, or simply working on mobility, these structured exercises are a key part of long-term success.
