Cardboard is soft and flexible — a great surface for supporting front limb exercises 🐾
A rolled towel with treats hidden inside also encourages natural shoulder movement at home 💪
Perfect alternative if beach access isn’t an option 🌊

⚠️ Posture Changes ⚠️

Widened stance and forward weight shift often indicate joint weakness or compensation 🐾 This can lead to overloading in the front limbs increasing the risk of further issues.

Strengthening the hind limbs helps improve balance, mobility, and overall joint health 💪

🐾 Gait checks 🐾

Every dog we see gets a movement check before doing hydrotherapy 💧 🐾

Why? Because we want to make sure they’re not in pain and are ready to get the most out of their sessions 🐶✨

Variety is key and always avoid letting your dog exercise past their point of fatigue as this is when they are most at risk.

Swap in walks, hikes, or brain games alongside short bursts of controlled fetch to give your dog a well-rounded workout and reduce their risk of injury 🙌

🦴✨ Hydrotherapy ✨🦴

At The Dog Wellness Centre, we use hydrotherapy to help dogs with painful or chronic conditions move safely and comfortably. By adjusting water height and speed, we create a supportive environment that allows controlled weight-bearing on weak or sore limbs 💧🐾

The buoyancy of water makes movement easier than on land, helping your dog maintain healthy muscle to support their joints without added strain. It’s a kind, effective way to strengthen and heal ❤️

Comment or DM the word "PHYSIO" and we will send you the booking link if you'd like to come see us!

💛 Protecting Joints 💛

Arthritis isn’t just an “old dog” condition and be sure to question anyone who tells you that. It can set in much earlier than expected and cause serious discomfort for your dog.

You can help your dog avoid pain by paying attention to the following:

Do’s ✅

-Keep them lean to reduce joint stress
-Choose the right amount, intensity, and type of exercise
-Monitor joints for heat and swelling

Don’t’s ❌

-Don’t over-exercise into fatigue
-Don’t ignore early signs of pain

Dogs who have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis can live sucessfully with the condition. But you need to learn certain things to help maintain their mobility.

My digitial course is available to teach you the key areas and how to monitor them along with education on home exercies and massage. Plus a whole heap more....

It is for proactive owners looking to take their knowledge to the next level to support their dogs musculoskeletal system.

If this is you, comment Ready and I'll send you an invite to join👇🏼

Gentle, fun and intentional movement is great for establishing physical strength, proprioception and confidence in puppies. Just keep it easy and your training sessions short!

✅ Sloppy sits ✅

Does your dog’s sit look sloppy, with legs splayed out to the side?

If theres no underlying issues, a tidy sit isn’t just cute,it’s important for healthy hips, knees, and posture! 🐕🦴

Start with simple exercises at home to help your pup learn to tuck their legs neatly underneath them to help keep their muscles balanced.

🏠 At home exercise 🏠

Don’t have the same equipment at home? No worries!

You might have something like this little stool lying around that works just as well for your dog’s exercise.

🐕💨 Keeping them strong keeps them healthy!

✨ Harness Training 101 ✨

Introducing a new harness? Start with training your dog to feel confident and comfortable wearing it.

🔑 Key Tips:
✔️ Keep sessions short
✔️ Watch your dog’s body language
✔️ Always go at their pace

Step 1 🐾
Let your dog sniff and explore the harness, then reward with treats! 🍗

Step 2 🐾
With a treat in hand, pass your arm through the head hole and let your dog take the treat.

Step 3 🐾
Gradually bring the treat closer to the head hole. Go slow and reward often. 🍗

❗ If your dog shows signs of stress, pause and give them more time. Don’t rush it. ❗

Step 4 🐾 (as shown in the video)
Lure your dog’s nose through the head hole & reward! 🍗

Step 5 🐾
Once they’re confidently offering their nose, begin moving the treat further away to encourage them to fully push their head through.

Not all dogs suit an over-the-head harness, but if yours does, this is a great way to get them started! 💪🐶
