Expert veterinary physiotherapy advice for your dog from the comfort of your own home.
If attending an in-person appointment feels difficult — whether due to distance, mobility, behaviour, time constraints or personal preference — an online consultation can be a practical and effective alternative.
Originally introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, online consultations are now a well-established option for owners who want professional, personalised support without the stress of travel. They are particularly useful for movement assessment, lifestyle guidance, rehabilitation support and helping you decide on next steps.
I work alongside vets and dog owners across the UK and internationally.

Online Vet Physiotherapy FAQs For Your Dog
Can Online Vet Physiotherapy really help?
Yes. Online consultations are highly effective for movement assessment, gait analysis, lifestyle advice and rehabilitation support. By reviewing videos and discussing your dog’s history, I can provide clear, practical guidance tailored to their needs.
What Conditions can you Help with Online?
Common reasons include arthritis, stiffness, reduced mobility, post-operative recovery, chronic pain, neurological conditions, age-related weakness and behaviour changes linked to discomfort.
Do I need a vet referral for an online consultation?
Yes. Veterinary consent is required before any physiotherapy consultation. I will contact your vet directly to obtain referral and relevant clinical history.
What Videos will I Need to Provide?
You’ll receive simple guidance, but typically short videos of your dog walking, standing and resting at home are ideal.
Can you diagnose my dog’s condition online?
I cannot diagnose medical conditions. However, I can assess movement, identify areas of concern, support rehabilitation and advise when further veterinary investigation may be needed.
Are online consultations suitable for senior dogs?
Yes, absolutely! they are often particularly helpful for senior dogs, as they can be assessed comfortably in their own environment, reducing stress while allowing a more natural view of their movement and behaviour.
