What is Veterinary Physiotherapy?

Veterinary physiotherapy strives to enhance healing, minimise pain, and aid in restoring normal function, ultimately enhancing your pet's overall quality of life. Through a comprehensive assessment and personalised treatment, we tailor our approach to address the specific requirements of your dog, ensuring effective and individualised care.

Why is Veterinary Physiotherapy Needed?

In cases where surgery has been performed, physiotherapy plays a crucial role in fostering healing, alleviating pain, enhancing range of motion (ROM), and optimising outcomes.

Our services extend to managing various orthopaedic conditions, including hip and elbow dysplasia, cruciate disease, spondylosis, and osteoarthritis. Additionally, we provide invaluable support for dogs facing neurological conditions. Rest assured, your companion animal will receive comprehensive care and guidance throughout their journey.

What can we do to help?

Massage and Stretching

We employ a diverse range of techniques, such as effleurage and petrissage, to effectively alleviate areas of tension, including trigger points. Massage therapy has been extensively demonstrated to enhance muscle flexibility, relieve pain, and reduce swelling. As an integral part of our approach, massage is administered prior to any rehabilitation exercise program (REP) and stretching to optimise its benefits and prepare the body for further therapeutic interventions.

Electrotherapies

Our clinic offers advanced treatment modalities, including Class 3b Laser and Pulse Magnetic Field Therapy (PMFT), renowned for their pain-relieving and healing properties. These non-invasive and pain-free treatments are exceptionally well-tolerated by dogs, cats and horses. In addition, we provide Ultrasound and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapies. It's important to note that we exclusively employ electrotherapies supported by substantial evidence-based research, ensuring the highest quality of care for your pets.

Hydrotherapy

Enhancing your pets recovery and well-being with our hydrotherapy underwater treadmill! This specialised treatment uses water's natural properties to support rehabilitation goals. Hydrotherapy is ideal for recovery post operation, to manage arthritis, and general conditioning. Hydrotherapy minimises joint stress while maximising muscle engagement.

Our hydrotherapists will work closely alongside our veterinary physiotherapists to create customised treatment plans to address each dog's unique needs. By promoting mobility, reducing pain, and improving overall function, hydrotherapy is a valuable addition to our comprehensive physiotherapy services.

Meet Jade

Jade is the owner and the animal physiotherapist at BodyRestore. She’s always had a passion for animals and has dedicated her career to working with them. Her first job was in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, where she worked with dogs in the bomb disposal units. She then moved to The Royal Horse Artillery, looking after the horses in the Queen’s Guard. She has participated in events such as The Queen's Birthday Parade and Trooping of the Colour, which she wholeheartedly enjoyed. In both of these jobs, the animals were looked after to the highest of standards and after leaving The Army, she was keen to continue her passion for working with animals, so she decided to train in animal physiotherapy. It’s safe to say she’s never looked back! Jade has always owned and ridden horses for over 20 years. In her spare time, you’ll find her at the yard with her beautiful horse Molly, who does a range of disciplines and liberty work. She also has a Sprocker Spaniel and loves taking her to dog agility with her young daughter, Mila. Mila also shares a love for animals, so therefore the business is a family-run, mother-and-daughter business. We love to keep the personal touch, and while your pets are in our care, we’ll always treat them as our own.

I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with cats and dogs as part of my family. After spending over 10 years working in childcare, becoming a parent and later welcoming our own dog into our home, something clicked — I knew it was time to follow the passion that had always been in my heart.

I began dog walking, which I truly loved, but it also opened my eyes. I saw so many dogs struggling with discomfort and underlying pain, often unable to tell us what they were feeling. Wanting to understand them better and help in a more meaningful way, I attended one of Jade’s canine massage courses with my own dog, Paddy. That experience changed everything and sparked a deep desire to help dogs feel comfortable, confident, and pain-free.

This led me to qualify in canine hydrotherapy, and I am currently training to become a veterinary physiotherapist. I am deeply passionate about listening to dogs, understanding what they are trying to tell us, and working with them patiently and compassionately through their treatment journey.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outdoors with my two children, husband, and our cockapoo Paddy — exploring, walking, cycling, and stopping to say hello to almost every dog we meet along the way. No dog is ever too big or too small; I love them all and care for every dog I work with as if they were my own.
