The Veterinary Physiotherapy Clinic

My standard poodle has hip dysplasia and I have been taking him regularly to Lara's. His swimming sessions have helped him greatly and he loves going. Lara is so good with him and it's great that she goes into the pool too, this makes my dog feel at ease. My vet recommended Lara to me and I also highly recommend her.

I first met Lara a few years ago when I brought my Papillon Leo for physio treatment after he suffered a horrendous back injury and was partially paralysed. Lara was amazing with him, she treated him with physio in and out of the pool and also gave me exercises to carry out at home between treatments to help, he made a full recovery and is still going strong at 15 years old. Throughout his treatment he loved going to see Lara and she still remains one of his favourite people. Since my original meeting I have continued to bring my competing flyball dogs to Lara to help maintain their physical health so they can compete safely and stay in great condition and any small niggles they ever have Lara deals with brilliantly, as Lara is actually in the pool with the dogs it means she can actually make sure they are using their muscles the way they should be.

My 2 Golden Retrievers had their lives extended by 2 years each by attending Lara's clinic. They both suffered with lameness in their rear legs and I cannot thank her enough for her kindness and dedication.

Lara treated one of my horses after he suffered back pain secondary to hock arthritis. Her quiet sympathetic approach is appreciated by horse and owner and her knowledge of horsemanship techniques which help induce relaxation and improve suppleness together with her professional expertise meant that we were both back up and running (& winning!) within just a few weeks. Thank you for such excellent care and attention.

We have been taking Poppy our 8 year old Labrador to Lara since March this year. She was suffering from lameness and was overweight. She has lost 6kg and her lameness has improved dramatically. She absolutely loves swimming and is always excited to see Lara. Very friendly service and personal to each individual pet. Great for dogs who may be nervous. Poppy gives it Lara 5 stars ⭐️

Oscar was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia and since then Lara has been maintaining his muscle development and general fitness. Oscar loves his weekly sessions and we can’t envisage not bringing him to his fun pool!

My 7 year old chocolate lab has been attending Lara's clinic for 5 months. The vets are really pleased with the improvement in her hips and weight loss. They are no longer suggesting surgery at this stage. Muffin loves her hydrotherapy sessions.

I took my elderly German Shepherd to Lara when she was diagnosed with CDRM. Whitney enjoyed her swimming and since Lara was in the pool with her it meant we could monitor any changes in her condition. There is no cure for this but I’ve no doubt that these sessions helped maintain muscle tone and prolonged the time I had with her for which I am so grateful.

This is a superb service, delivered so efficiently and well by Lara. Her treatment was for my dog Pepper after cruciate surgery who has had a few weeks of hydrotherapy. Pepper was always happy to go for treatment, and has now recovered fully. I am amazed at the difference it has made. I cannot recommend Lara highly enough.
