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 and lymphatic drainage, and reduce muscle tension
  • Stretching and trigger point therapy – to enhance flexibility and 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 programmes

Our physiotherapists also design specific land-based rehabilitation programmes. 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.

Integrated therapy plans for your dog

We offer fully integrated hydrotherapy and physiotherapy treatment plans tailored to your dog’s specific condition, needs and goals. Our multi-disciplinary team work together to ensure the best outcomes through safe, effective and compassionate care.
