Alba Veterinary Physiotherapy

Nelson our Leonberger has been getting physio and hydrotherapy for the past year with Joy who is lovely and patient with him for hind leg weakness. He has improved so much and it has been amazing for building up his muscles. Very friendly and you are out at ease by Joy and the team, I would highly recommend them.

Our dog Oakley has hip Dysplasia and was referred to Alba Physio. Joy has been amazing with him. He enjoys his massage and then he goes on the treadmill. We can’t believe what a difference it has made. No limping and we can take him out for proper walks now. Joy is so good at telling us what exercises to do at home and what equipment to use that we would have around the house.

Oliver has chronic lower back issues and the work Joy has done with him to relax and strengthen his muscles has helped greatly to increase his activity levels. As part of our management of Oliver's exercise he is now happily enjoying longer walks and running around, from hills to beaches. Oliver had 14 initial sessions over c6 months and now has monthly maintenance sessions with Joy.

Professional, caring, great with our dog, clear instructions on how we can continue her physio programme. Easy to find. Follow up phone call and email excellent too. Highly recommended.

Fantastic facility and really helped our dogs Lilo and Stitch who are Newfoundland/St Bernard cross breeds of significant size. Both have had cruciate ligament surgery in the past 12-16 months and aiding their recovery with sessions with Joy have been great to help them recover well. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Odie really enjoys his physio sessions at Alba physio. They are knowledgeable and patient and are happy for me to give him treats to ensure he's totally comfortable. We get really great exercises to do at home and great advice too. I cannot recommend them enough!

Amazing, dedicated, caring, professional, friendly and effective team who care about the pets they treat. I have been using them for over a year now to keep on top of my dogs spondyolosis, however the treatment she has received recently for an injury she sustained on a walk, has prevented her from having to get surgery. My dog LOVES going for her physio and the word 'physio' triggers the same reaction as the word 'walkies' and that tells me everything I need to know about how well looked after she is! Thank you Joy, you are amazing, along with your colleagues.

Appointment was easily set up with confirmation from Brid by email and a reminder sent the day before. Location is a bit tricky to find but Google Maps takes you there.Very friendly and knowledgeable staff - Joy made sure our dog was calm and relaxed before starting physio. Each exercise was clearly explained and demonstrated.Excellent follow up from Tabitha and with a link to exercise videos to be performed at home and a check in on our dog's welfare after the session.I would highly recommend Alba Veterinary Physio and we look forward to our next session.Richard (and Zappa the Lab)

Alba Physiotherapy offer a fantastic service that I hugely appreciate having access to in the Highlands. Joy has helped my dog using various techniques such as laser, massage and hydrotherapy as well as improving my own knowledge on what I can do to help. I have also completed the massage course through Alba Physio that I hugely recommend, meaning that I can take care of my dog at home. Thank you Alba Physio!

Jimmy had surgery for a herniated disc in January and was left unable to stand and with minimal movement in his back legs. I was given basic physio exercises by the vet to do with him at home but decided he needed extra help hence contacting Alba. He has since been having weekly physio with Joy and 4 months later is able to stand for short periods and walk, still with assistance, but is so much stronger and making steady progress. We were told it would be a long job to get him back on his feet, I think without the extra physio he wouldn't have come this far this quickly. Although he hates the hydrotherapy treadmill and being a lazy Greyhound won't put in much effort, it has all definitely helped him. The extra exercises and advice I have been given has proved invaluable, and I know that should we need any help in future I can contact them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone faced with a similar situation.
