Canine Physiotherapy Performed by a Qualified Physiotherapist


At Canine Kinetics, all complementary therapies are delivered by a qualified canine physiotherapist with specialised training in assessing and treating musculoskeletal, neurological, and soft tissue conditions in dogs.
Each session begins with a comprehensive physical assessment of your dog’s musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and neurological systems—including muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. This thorough approach helps us pinpoint the root cause of discomfort or dysfunction and tailor the most effective treatment plan for your pet

Individualised Hands-On Treatment Plans
Based on the findings from the physical assessment and consultation, your dog will receive a customised physiotherapy treatment plan. This may include:
  • Deep tissue massage
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Myofascial release
  • Stretching
  • Corrective and therapeutic exercises
  • Use of modalities such as laser, electrotherapy and ultrasound
  • Dry needling
  • Cupping

Our hands-on techniques help relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and restore normal function—supporting a faster, more complete recovery.
