Canine physiotherapy helps support dogs recovering from injury, surgery or managing long-term conditions. Treatments aim to improve mobility, reduce pain and enhance overall quality of life.

I work closely with owners and vets to create tailored rehabilitation plans that support each dog’s individual needs.

​

Hi, I'm Loicia, I work with dogs across a range of disciplines including leisure, competition and rehabilitation cases. I am an experienced animal physiotherapist, qualifying from The College of Animal Physiotherapy UK, specialising in canine rehabilitation. My work focuses on improving canine performance, rehabilitation, and long-term musculoskeletal health.

 

Alongside academia, I value hands-on experience. I have had a vast range of arthritic cases over the years, ACL ruptures and tears, hip dysplasia, spinal degeneration and injury, and so much more. Every dog is so different at managing their injury or condition. I have had dogs come to me with chronic pain that need help and encouragement to move, and then amputation cases which are so proactive they almost need slowing down and steadying up! I get to know you and your dog and take a practical and informed approach to rehab.

Your dog’s first session will include a full assessment of movement, posture and mobility. From this, a tailored treatment and exercise plan will be created to support recovery and long-term wellbeing.
