Looking for an in-person appointment?


I’m currently at full capacity for one-to-one in-person clients, so I’m not taking on any new appointments at the moment.

If you’re looking for help supporting your dog’s movement, strength or mobility at home, you don’t have to wait for an in-person space to become available.

The Canine Health Club gives you structured rehabilitation programmes, clear video guidance and simple activities you can work through at home in around five minutes a day.

 

It’s designed for everyday dog owners who want to know where to begin and feel more confident supporting their dog between professional appointments.

In-home 1:1 sessions

Seeing your dog slow down can be emotionally tough, and it’s normal to feel unsure,
You don't have to figure it out alone

Expert in-home hands on support to help your dog move, feel, and live better.

I hear the same stories from owners all the time:

You’ve searched online, asked for advice, and tried to figure out what’s best…but it’s hard to know where to turn or who to trust.

That’s where I come in.

With exercises to build strength, massage to improve mobility, and laser therapy to ease pain, we bring it all together to

give your dog the comfort and care they deserve.

1

Mobility & movement assessment
I come to your home and take the time to fully understand your dog’s needs. I’ll carefully evaluate how your dog moves and how freely their body functions, checking for pain, tight spots, tension, and compensations. This helps identify the areas that need support and guides the personalised care I'll provide during the session.

2

Gentle care that brings relief
Then we'll get comfortable and I'll work closely with your dog using gentle techniques, massage, laser, and osteopathy - to ease pain, release tension, and help them move more comfortably.

3

Ask & learn in a safe space
This session isn’t just for your dog — it’s your time too. We can talk through what’s been happening, address any concerns you have, discuss exercises, and cover helpful tips like product recommendations or topics to discuss with your vet. you can share anything freely, knowing there’s no judgement.

a senior dog lays down

We are very fortunate to have found Lorna.

 

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.

Just a quick note - I’m currently at capacity for new in-person clients, so I’m not taking on any new one-to-one appointments at the moment.

If you’re looking for support with your dog’s movement, strength or mobility at home, you can still work with me through the Canine Health Club. 💙

But what if your dog's not a senior, or they're dealing with a different issue right now?

I get that sometimes senior dog care isn't what you're looking for right now.

Maybe your dog has just had surgery, or recently been diagnosed with a chronic condition but they're still young.

The good news is - I can still help.

Please note - all new clients will need a vet referral before commencing treatment.

Even if your dog isn’t currently unwell, I ask for a vet referral before starting massage, osteopathy, laser therapy, or exercise rehab.

 

This helps me ensure your dog is healthy and safe to receive treatment, and allows me to gather important medical history.

With this information, I can create a clear, personalised treatment plan tailored to your dog’s needs, while avoiding any potential contradictions or risks.

 

It also means I can track progress accurately and provide the most effective support for your dog’s wellbeing, movement, and overall comfort.

Call your vet, email them the form, and they'll send it back to me!

What makes Wellington Canine Bodywork different from a normal vet visit or physio?

I’ve dedicated my career to understanding the changing needs of senior dogs.

While most physios treat a wide range of issues, I’ve chosen to specialise in older dogs, focusing on the subtle signs of discomfort that often go unnoticed.

With ongoing, gentle care, not just one-off fixes, I help guardians support their dogs’ comfort, mobility, and happiness so they can
enjoy life to the fullest.
