Your dog is not just another patient, they are our patient
Our dog physiotherapy services provides bespoke injury rehabilitation with the option of home based or clinic appointments in Southampton. We see a variety of patients from dogs living with chronic comorbidities, post operative patients and sports conditioning.
You will be seen by an ACPAT animal physiotherapist meaning your dog will receive the highest standard of treatment. The service includes a gait examination and a thorough neuromusculoskeletal examination to ascertain potential sources of pain, including bony, soft tissue and neural structures.
We also provide 20minute online video assessments for £20 which can provide clarity on your dogs musculoskeletal health. This service provides the opportunity to ask any questions you have regarding injury management or identification. It also provides the chance for gait assessments and movement anaylsis to identify strengths and weaknesses.

Canine FAQs
What is canine physiotherapy?
Most people have either had physiotherapy themselves or know someone who has had it. Canine physiotherapy follows the exact same principles and treatments. Evolution has meant we are all designed to move, however after illness, surgery, injury or disability this can be difficult. We can help restore movement whilst reducing pain, improving strength and ultimately independence.
Do you treat other small animals?
Yes we treats Cats and other small furries such as rabbits.

How do I book an appointment?
You can contact us through the website, call 07476820808 or email us at [email protected] . We can then discuss your needs and if appropriate you can download the form on our website to email or drop into your vets. We can also send the referral form for you once we have some details.
How long will physiotherapy take?
This is a million-dollar question and difficult to answer, purely because every case is different and so is the reason for physiotherapy. We will answer this however after an initial appointment. We do tailor our rehabilitation plans to you, for example if you would prefer to space appointments, we will ensure you feel equipped with our rehabilitation plans to do this at home. We can also provide packages which you might find more suitable.
Can my insurance cover physiotherapy treatment?
It is dependent on your insurance but we always advise to check with your insurer prior to your first appointment.
Are there any extra charges?
Travel charges will be applied over a 10 mile radius. Home visit appointments are more expensive than clinic appointments. Please contact us to find out more and we will do our best to accomdate your needs.
If you have a course of physiotherapy, your final discharge appointment will be the same as the intial assessment appointment to accomodate admin charges.
