🏊

Water treadmill hydrotherapy

Warm water exercise with minimal joint loading — building muscle while protecting damaged or recovering joints. Also used for strength and conditioning. LASER therapy included in every session.

📊

Strideway gait analysis

Pressure-sensitive walkway capturing how your pet distributes their weight across all four limbs — objective, measurable data to guide treatment and track progress.

🩺

Qualified animal physiotherapists

Our physiotherapists hold formal qualifications in veterinary physiotherapy. Manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, electrotherapy and targeted rehabilitation programmes.

Our facilities

Everything in one place — on site at Newcraighall

No referral to a separate facility. No extra journey for your pet. Our full rehabilitation suite is integrated within the practice.

Water treadmill

Warm water hydrotherapy in a controlled, enclosed treadmill. Water level is adjustable to change the degree of joint loading and buoyancy. Used for post-surgical recovery, arthritis, neurological conditions, strength and conditioning, and cardiovascular fitness in older patients.

🏃📷 Photo placeholder

Strideway gait analysis

A pressure-sensitive walkway that captures force distribution across all four limbs as your pet walks over it. Produces objective data — which limbs are being loaded, which are being avoided, and how symmetrically your pet is moving. Invaluable for both diagnosis and monitoring treatment progress.

Physiotherapy suite

A dedicated space for hands-on physiotherapy — manual therapy, soft tissue work, therapeutic exercise, electrotherapy modalities and home exercise programme planning. Qualified animal physiotherapists only.

Conditions we treat

When rehabilitation makes the biggest difference

⚕️

Post-surgical recovery

After orthopaedic surgery — TPLO, femoral head excision, fracture repair — structured rehabilitation significantly improves outcomes and speeds return to function.

🦴

Hip/elbow dysplasia and Osteoarthritis

Targeted muscle building around affected joints reduces joint load and improves mobility. Gait analysis identifies compensatory patterns, and combined with acupuncture and medical management, outcomes are significantly better than any single approach alone.

⚡

Neurological conditions

IVDD, degenerative myelopathy, Wobbler syndrome — hydrotherapy supports neurological patients in moving in ways that land-based exercise cannot safely achieve.

🏅

Strength & conditioning

For high performance canine athletes — working dogs and those competing in dog sports such as agility — a structured conditioning programme builds strength, endurance and resilience, and reduces the risk of injury.

🏋️

Obesity & fitness

Low-impact cardiovascular exercise for overweight patients — burning calories and building fitness without the joint stress that land-based exercise would cause.

🐈

Feline rehabilitation

Yes — we rehabilitate cats too. Feline patients are assessed and treated individually, with approaches adapted to their very different temperament and physiology.

Hydrotherapy and acupuncture has helped turn my 11 year old spaniel with hip dysplasia back into a 3 year old — down to very minimal pain meds. There's nowhere else I would go.
