Helping Animals Move, Heal & Thrive 🐾

Welcome! I'm Kirsten, a fully qualified Veterinary Physiotherapist based in Rosudgeon, Cornwall. I help dogs and horses recover after surgery, manage chronic conditions like arthritis, and move more comfortably at every stage of life.

Whether your animal is bouncing back from a cruciate repair, struggling with mobility, or needs injury prevention support. I’m here to help with kind, hands on care tailored to their needs.

We often hear that “rehabilitation takes time" One session a week just isn’t enough to drive real, lasting change. That’s why physiotherapy goes beyond the clinic. As a Level 6 qualified Veterinary Physiotherapist, I create personalised rehab plans with targeted exercises you can do at home several times a week – because dogs, just like humans, need regular, guided movement to truly improve.

What I Offer

  • Post-Operative Rehab for CCL, dysplasia, spinal surgery & more

  • Mobility & Arthritis Support for animals who are stiff or slowing down

  • Injury Prevention & Performance Care for active or working dogs and horses

  • Conservative Management when surgery isn’t an option

Meet Your Physio

Hi, I’m Kirsten a qualified Veterinary Physiotherapist!

I’ve always been drawn to animals and fascinated by the way movement affects wellbeing. After years of training and hands-on experience, I set up my clinic in Rosudgeon to offer dogs a calm, caring space where they can truly heal and thrive.

My approach is hands on, compassionate, and completely tailored. No dog is the same, so every plan I create is built around their unique personality, condition, and lifestyle. I love getting to know the dogs I treat, from lively puppies recovering from surgery to gentle seniors just needing a bit more comfort.

🎓 My Qualifications:

We found Kirsten after our 5 year old springer had cruciate ligament surgery in February this year. We’d had very little advice from the vets, so were anxious about the best course of action for our dog. Belle has really enjoyed every session with Kirsten. She gets excited as we start to drive down the road to Kirsten’s and she has really thrived after having the sessions. Belle’s progress has been amazing and Kirsten has been at the end of the phone ready to offer advice and to ease our worries. Her exercise plan was easy to follow and Belle has come on leaps and bounds in the 6 months since her operation. I cannot recommend Kirsten enough and I am so grateful we found such a great physio!
