Physiotherapy for your dog isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity. Just as you wouldn't let your phone die before charging it, don't wait until your dog is injured or in pain before prioritizing their health.

Consistent bodywork sessions can proactively identify and resolve minor issues before they escalate into major problems.

Don't wait for your dog to exhibit signs of discomfort—prevention is better than cure
