If you're searching for dog massage in Wellington, canine rehab near me, or in-home dog physiotherapy, you're in the right place!
At Wellington Canine Bodywork, I bring expert, compassionate care right to your doorstep - helping your dog feel better, move better, and live better.

Why In-Home Canine Services Matter
Travelling to a clinic can be stressful for some dogs — especially seniors, post-op pups, or anxious pets.
That’s why I offer in-home dog massage and exercise rehab sessions across the Wellington region, including:
✅ Wellington City ✅ Lower Hutt & Upper Hutt ✅ Wairarapa
And the best part? No additional travel fees 🙌
What Services Do I Offer?
My sessions go far beyond just massage. They’re completely tailored to your dog’s needs -whether they’re recovering from surgery, struggling with arthritis, or just need a mobility boost.
Here’s what I offer in-home:
Canine Massage Therapy - Relieves tension, improves circulation, supports recovery, and eases pain.
Exercise Rehabilitation – Targeted strengthening and mobility exercises to rebuild muscle, confidence, and range of motion.
Physio Taping – Safe, effective kinesiology taping to support joints, muscles, and posture.
Gait & Movement Assessments – Identify underlying issues with how your dog moves and create a plan to improve it.
Tailored Home Exercise Plans – Every dog receives a personalised rehab plan delivered through my app, the Canine Health Hub.
Whether your dog is young or old, sporty or sedentary, my mobile canine wellness services help support their body in a gentle and proactive way.
Who Are These Services For?
I support dogs of all ages and breeds, especially those who are:
Recovering from surgery (e.g. cruciate repair, IVDD, amputations)
Living with arthritis or mobility issues
Losing muscle or struggling with coordination
Anxious or lacking body awareness
Active dogs needing maintenance care
Seniors who need gentle support

What Clients Are Saying 💬
"Lorna has had a hugely positive impact on Aska's quality of life. Her hind leg mobility & strength has improved dramatically since our first session, enabling us to embark on more strenuous outdoor adventures again."— Caitlin, Upper Hutt
"We are very fortunate to have found Lorna and Wellington Canine Bodywork. For the last few months she has come to our house to massage our almost 12-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Lorna has also given us tools to help build the muscle strength in her back legs. After each visit we get a comprehensive review of what was done and what we can do in between massages."— Hilary, South Wairarapa
"My partner and I have a disabled dog. Lorna is a great help in providing preventative care to him as we try to keep his joints and muscles healthy. She is friendly and kind. We can tell she understands dogs very well. Our dog has considered her a friend since meeting her for their first appointment." - David, Lower Hutt
