Kirsten is 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.

Meet Your Physio

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!
