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.
