Please note: Virtual consultations are intended to work alongside hands-on physiotherapy, not as a direct substitute. While video analysis gives valuable insight into how your pet moves, it isn't able to replace a physical examination and palpation. The aim is to help you understand your options and find the right path forward.

Three Ways to Get Support Remotely

From an initial chat to a full movement assessment — there's an online option to suit wherever you and your pet are in your journey.

🔍
Discovery

Virtual Discovery Consultation

Wondering if physiotherapy could help your pet, but not sure where to start? I'll review your pet's history and any movement videos you share, and we'll talk through whether physio is likely to be of benefit and what a good next step might look like.

Ideal for Owners at the start of their journey who want a professional steer before booking a full assessment.

Assessment

Virtual Gait Analysis & Physiotherapy Assessment

I'll carry out a thorough review of the videos you send over before we meet online, so the consultation itself is focused and purposeful. You'll come away with personalised recommendations covering things like home environment, daily management, and how to support your pet's comfort and mobility going forward.

Ideal for Pets who find travelling stressful, owners who don't have a local vet physio nearby, or older animals needing regular mobility support.

Real Results

The Difference Physiotherapy Can Make

Dog before and after IVDD rehabilitation

A real patient — a dog who came to me following an IVDD diagnosis. The transformation in mobility and quality of life after a structured rehab programme speaks for itself. Many clients also start with an in-person assessment and use online consultations to follow up and adjust their plan — without the need to travel every time.

What Online Consultations Can Help With

Online consultations are there to support owners who have limited access to animal physiotherapy nearby, or who'd like some expert input before committing to an in-person appointment.

ℹ️ A virtual consultation can help clarify…

  • Whether your pet is likely to benefit from physiotherapy
  • Whether it would be worth going back to your vet for further investigation first
  • Whether an in-person assessment with a physio is the right next step
  • What you can do at home to help with day-to-day comfort and mobility
  • How your pet is progressing and whether their rehab plan needs adjusting
