💚 Together, we help:
✔️ Stabilise joints

💛 Meet Tilly 💛
This little cavoodle has been on a big journey after undergoing surgery for IVDD.
With regular physiotherapy, a tailored exercise plan, and plenty of love, she’s making great progress in her rehab.

Tils never stays still long enough to take a photo, and holding a static stand like this is some serious hard work for her!

At WIMBA, we’re driven by a clear mission: to restore mobility and improve the quality of life for pets through modern, custom-made orthotics and prosthetics.

That’s why feedback like this from Joanna Whitehead – a physiotherapist, hydrotherapist, and rehabilitation therapist at Canine Kinetics, based in South Melbourne 🇦🇺 – reminds us that we’re on the right path together.

“Why I Work With WIMBA
I’ve partnered with WIMBA because their philosophy aligns closely with my own-prioritising comfort, mobility, and long-term health outcomes for the animals we care for.

As a physiotherapist, I often see dogs that could greatly benefit from added support, and WIMBA’s solutions allow me to tailor treatment plans even further.
Their braces are lightweight, breathable, and easy to maintain, making them practical for both dogs and their owners.

Through this partnership, I can assist clients from the initial assessment and 3D scan to brace fitting, rehabilitation, and ongoing care."
— Joanna Whitehead, Canine Kinetics

Top Anti-Inflammatory Supplements for Dogs

We get asked all the time about what the best anti inflammatory supplements are for dogs and lets be honest, there are a lot out there on the market at the moment!

Here are some of our favourites:

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Source: Fish oil (e.g., salmon, sardine, anchovy)

2. Green-Lipped Mussel
Source: 4Cyte/ Antinol Rapid

3.H**p Seed Oil
Source: Provex H**p Nectar ( We love this product and stock it at Canine Kinetics!)

4. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

5. Glucosamine & Chondroitin

✅ Tips Before Starting
Always consult your vet before starting any supplement—especially if your dog has other health conditions or is on medication.

Look for veterinary-grade supplements with transparent ingredient lists.

Be consistent: Most natural supplements take 3–6 weeks to show full effect.

What to Expect When You Book with Canine Kinetics 🐾

Whether it’s your dog’s first rehab session or you’re returning for ongoing care, here’s what you can expect from your visit—every step of the way 💚

🩺 1. Collaboration with Your Vet
We begin by liaising with your veterinarian to ensure we have a full understanding of your dog’s history, diagnosis, and any post-op requirements. This team-based approach ensures your dog receives safe, targeted care right from the start.

🔍 2. Full Assessment & Goal Setting
Every dog is different, so we take time to assess their posture, gait, muscle tone, joint movement, and any areas of compensation. We then set achievable goals together—whether it’s walking further, easing stiffness, or returning to their favourite activities.

💆‍♀️ 3. Hands-On Treatment
Based on your dog’s needs, we provide hands-on therapy using a combination of techniques such as massage, laser therapy and myofascial release.

📋 4. Custom Home Program
You’ll leave each session with a tailored home care plan designed to support your dog’s progress between appointments. This may include simple exercises, joint-friendly activity tips, and guidance to help you feel confident in their care at home. And if you need support—we’re only a message away!

Your dog’s journey to better movement starts here 🐶💚

Mobility Monday - why strength training is important for dogs!

Just like us dogs need strong muscles to stay mobile, balanced and pain free- especially as they age or recover from injury.

✅improves balance, confidence and movement
✅helps prevent future injures

At Canine Kinetics we use gentle tailored strength exercises that your doggo will actually enjoy- and benefit from long term

Curious if your dog could benefit from a strength plan ?
