Who We Are
At BodyRestore Animal Rehabilitation and Hydrotherapy, we are passionate about helping animals move comfortably, recover confidently and enjoy the best possible quality of life.
Based in Wilsden, Bradford, we provide evidence-based rehabilitation services tailored to each animal's individual needs. Whether recovering from surgery, managing a long-term condition or simply needing support to stay active, we work closely with owners and veterinary practices to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Our goal is simple:
Reduce pain. Restore movement. Improve quality of life.

Common Treatable Condition
COMMON CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Arthritis & Joint Stiffness
Arthritis is the gradual wear and tear of joints that causes pain, inflammation, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is particularly common in older dogs and can make everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from rest more difficult.
How we help: Physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, laser therapy, and rehabilitation can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and maintain muscle strength.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip dysplasia is a developmental condition where the hip joint does not fit together properly. Over time, this can lead to pain, reduced mobility, muscle loss, and arthritis.
How we help: Rehabilitation helps strengthen supporting muscles, improve movement patterns, and reduce discomfort.
Elbow Dysplasia
Elbow dysplasia is a condition affecting the elbow joint that can cause pain, lameness, stiffness, and reduced limb function. It is commonly seen in growing and large-breed dogs.
How we help: Targeted exercise, hydrotherapy, and physiotherapy can improve comfort and support long-term joint health.
Cruciate Ligament Injuries
The cruciate ligament stabilises the knee joint. Injury or rupture can cause pain, limping, instability, and reduced mobility. Rehabilitation is beneficial both before and after surgery.
How we help: We help rebuild strength, restore function, and support a safe return to activity.
Spinal Injuries & Conditions
Spinal conditions can affect movement, coordination, nerve function, and overall mobility. These may result from injury, age-related changes, or neurological disease.
How we help: Rehabilitation focuses on improving strength, balance, mobility, and confidence.
Neurological Conditions
Neurological conditions affect the nervous system and can lead to weakness, poor coordination, loss of balance, or changes in mobility.
How we help: Individual rehabilitation programmes can help improve function, maintain mobility, and support quality of life.
Obesity & Weight Management Issues
Excess weight places additional strain on joints, muscles, and the cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of pain and mobility problems.
How we help: Controlled exercise programmes and hydrotherapy provide safe ways to improve fitness and support weight management.
Muscle Weakness & Atrophy
Muscle atrophy occurs when muscles become smaller and weaker due to inactivity, injury, ageing, or disease.
How we help: Rehabilitation exercises help rebuild strength, improve function, and restore confidence in movement.
Post-Orthopaedic Surgery Recovery
Following surgery, many animals benefit from structured rehabilitation to regain strength, mobility, and function while reducing the risk of complications.
How we help: We provide tailored recovery plans to support healing and help achieve the best possible outcome.
Degenerative Myelopathy
Degenerative myelopathy is a progressive neurological disease that affects the spinal cord and gradually impacts mobility, coordination, and limb function.
How we help: Rehabilitation can help maintain strength, mobility, and independence for as long as possible.
Patella Luxation
Patella luxation occurs when the kneecap moves out of its normal position. This can cause intermittent limping, discomfort, and altered movement patterns.
How we help: Physiotherapy and rehabilitation can strengthen supporting muscles and improve joint stability.
Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD)
OCD is a developmental joint condition where cartilage does not develop properly, leading to pain, inflammation, and reduced joint function.
How we help: Rehabilitation supports recovery, improves joint function, and helps manage discomfort.
Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)
IVDD occurs when the discs between the vertebrae become damaged or displaced, placing pressure on the spinal cord. This can cause pain, weakness, mobility issues, or, in severe cases, paralysis.
How we help: Rehabilitation focuses on improving strength, mobility, coordination, and recovery following veterinary treatment.
Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)
Degenerative Joint Disease is a chronic condition involving the progressive deterioration of joint cartilage. It often develops alongside arthritis and can significantly affect mobility and comfort.
How we help: Our rehabilitation programmes help manage pain, maintain movement, and improve quality of life.
Senior Mobility Issues
As dogs age, they often experience reduced flexibility, muscle loss, joint stiffness, and decreased stamina.
How we help: Tailored rehabilitation programmes help older dogs remain active, comfortable, and independent for longer.
