Veterinary physiotherapy tailored to your companion and you

If there is any information that you require or cannot find on this page, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Appointments for all patients will last for approximately 1 hour.

During your appointment, I will carry out an assessment of how your animal is moving (dynamic assessment) and ask you questions to form a picture of your animal’s history and their daily routine. I will also carry out a static assessment, by palpating your animal’s body, including skeletal structure, joints and musculature. I will then devise a treatment plan based on my findings and any areas that might require more attention. Treatment will vary by animal, depending on their needs, but can include massage, trigger point release, myofascial release, stretches, use of electrotherapy and functional exercises. Depending on goals, progress and the willingness of your pet, I may also prescribe some exercises as ‘homework’ to ensure you and your animal are getting the most benefits from physiotherapy. I may also make some recommendations on other things you can do around the house or environment to best help your animal, and am happy to discuss things like nutrition.

Appointment Structure

Cats

Initial consultation (up to 90 mins) - £70
Follow up appointments (up to 60 mins) - £55
I am passionate about providing cats with the same opportunities as dogs and other pets. Cats can respond very well to physio and often enjoy it just as much as dogs!
I am a self proclaimed crazy cat lady of the strong opinion that a majority of cats can be won round, given a the time and space to be able to trust you. I pride myself on being able to befriend most cats and am no stranger to a ‘spicy’ kitty. Even if your cat is not a fan of being touched, I am still able to carry out an assessment, treat them with ‘hands off’ techniques and advise you on home and husbandry adaptations where required.
If you are considering physiotherapy for your feline friend but are still unsure, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am happy to discuss the best option for you and your pet.
Dogs

Initial consultation (up to 90 mins) - £75
Follow up appointments (up to 60 mins) - £60
I have a wealth of experience with dogs, having grown up with several cross breeds and now having my own Labrador, who has certainly proved challenging at times!
My vet nursing career has provided me with an enormous amount of experience with dogs of varying temperaments, as well as knowledge on dog behaviour. I believe that my prior career has given me the edge over other vet physios in being able to understand your dog on a deeper level, allow me to provide a service tailored to you and your dog's needs.
I strive to be a fear-free practitioner, providing a gentle approach. I prefer to work with the patient within their comfort zone and adapt my technique in order to provide the most positive and rewarding experience possible.
Horses

Initial assessment (up to 90 mins) - £75
Follow up appointments (up to 60 mins) - £60
Before starting my course, I was fortunate enough to regularly volunteer in the stables at Calvert Exmoor, where I reignited a love for horses that I had as a child.
Although I do not necessarily have the strong equine background that other vet physios possess, I thoroughly enjoy treating horses and have found that treating them has come very naturally to me.
I am grateful to have had mentors that have encouraged me to offer physio to horses, as I had great success with equine treatments as a student. I have found that I prefer carrying out manual therapy on most horses, finding this yields best response for me personally, that can be supplemented with electrotherapies and exercise prescription to optimise the results that physio can offer.
As with smaller animals, I am passionate about treating horses with kindness and providing a positive experience.
