Services
Expert-led treatment to support recovery, mobility, and comfort.
Hydrotherapy
We offer hydrotherapy using our underwater treadmill to help dogs exercise in a safe, controlled environment.
​
The water supports their body weight to ease pressure on joints, while still providing gentle resistance to build strength and improve mobility. Supervised by a qualified physiotherapist, sessions are individually tailored, with water depth, speed, and duration adjusted to suit each dog’s condition and ability. ​

Physiotherapy
Veterinary physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of dogs using a range of hands-on techniques to support recovery from injury, surgery, or ongoing conditions.
We carry out clinical assessments in a calm environment to understand the cause of any lameness, stiffness or discomfort and identify the areas needing targeted treatment.
​
Treatment is personalised to your dog and may include hands-on therapy, guided exercises in the clinic, and home exercise programmes. Advice on lifestyle, activity, and exercise is also provided to take a holistic approach to rehabilitation.

Strength & Conditioning
Strength and conditioning sessions help dogs build fitness, maintain mobility, and support ongoing rehabilitation. Guided by our Certified Professional Canine Fitness Trainer, exercises are tailored to each dog, focusing on strength, balance, coordination, and controlled movement.
By working at your dog's pace and gradually advancing their exercise plan, we can help your dog stay active, confident, and strong for everyday life activities or improved sports performance.

"Our only regret is not doing it sooner"
"We couldn’t recommend Wobbly Dog enough! They have been brilliant with our Pocket Bully and saved us from having a very costly operation. The progress he has made has been unbelievable.
Francesca has been so patient and kind with our stubborn cheeky boy, he absolutely loves her! Our only regret is not doing it sooner. Thank you Wobbly Dog!"
What Does A Session Include?
We structure our appointments so that whatever your dog needs, they receive. For example they may benefit from a full session of hydrotherapy, or a combination of hydro and physiotherapy, with the addition of laser therapy and other modalities.
We believe that this approach gives our patients the best chance for improved mobility and overall wellbeing.
​
An hour session costs £80 and we offer a block booking deal of one free session when a block of 10 sessions is purchased.
​
In some cases, 30 minute sessions are appropriate which may focus on a sole treatment modality (e.g. underwater treadmill). These sessions are £55 for 30 minutes and include a full report as standard.
​
Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy are often covered by insurance in rehabilitation cases. We are happy to assist you in the claims process.
