What is physio for dogs?
Dog physiotherapy is similar to physiotherapy for children; we aim to get your dog feeling better ASAP without causing any pain or distress. Usually, once they realise who's at their door, excitement and tail wags begin. We work hard to make the sessions fun, relaxing & active. Most dog parents tell us their dog sleeps well after physio, and we all know a tired dog is a happy dog!
Dog Physiotherapy is performed by an animal or canine physiotherapist with a degree in human physiotherapy, who has undergone several years of post-graduate training & experience in animal physiotherapy.
Physio for dogs is GENTLE and helps your dog with;
- pain management
- preparing for surgery
- rehabilitation following surgery
- fitness
- strength
- flexibility
- avoiding injuries
- helping prevent arthritis
- weight management
- conditioning for sporting dogs
- bonding while doing a fun activity together
We are qualified to use methods such as;
- massage & manual therapies such as myofascial release
- laser treatment
- acupuncture & dry needling
- kinesiotaping
- PEMF treatment
- proprioceptive neuromuscular re-education
- EMG & TENS

- conditioning
Importantly, your dog is never forced to do anything.
We do NOT subscribe to "no pain, no gain".
For us, dog physio is FEAR FREE, PAIN FREE.

Our qualified experienced physiotherapist Emma Duffy is super passionate about advocating for our pets who can't speak for themselves. Emma's mantra is "kindness always", and once Emma is confident that any pain has been identified & managed, she uses a holistic approach to getting your dog's mojo back.
Emma works closely with your Vet, Specialist, Vet Behaviourist or any other professionals involved to make sure your dog's physiotherapy is complementing & integrating with their veterinary care. She has good professional relationships with many Sydney Vets, Specialists & qualified colleagues in the field.
