Sports Medicine Service

Helping active dogs stay strong, sound, and injury-free

If your dog competes (or just lives life at full speed!), our sports medicine service is designed to support performance, prevent injury, and guide a safe return to activity after setbacks.

Sports medicine sits in the sweet spot between orthopaedics, rehab, and conditioning. We focus on:

• Prevention – spotting early strain or imbalance
• Performance – building strength, flexibility, and endurance safely
• Recovery – supporting healing after injury, surgery, or rest

How can sports medicine help dogs?

Depending on your dog’s needs, we may include:

• Movement and musculoskeletal assessments
• Gait and performance review
• Conditioning plans (strength, core, flexibility)
• Return-to-sport programmes
• Supportive therapies like hydro, laser, shockwave, or regenerative options

Which dogs will benefit from sports medicine?

Sports medicine suits:

• Working and sporting dogs (agility, flyball, gundog, canicross, etc.)
• Young dogs entering training
• Dogs returning after injury/surgery
• Senior athletes who still love to move
• Very active “pet” dogs needing proactive support

What can you expect at your dog’s first sports medicine appointment?

We start with a detailed assessment including gait analysis, musculoskeletal examination and complete history, then we build a plan with clear goals.  Progress is monitored through follow-up sessions and data-driven reassessments.
