Veterinary Physiotherapy & McTimoney Chiropractic

Animal Rehab With Joy is run by me, Joy. I’m an Inverness based vet physio and animal rehab provider, with mobile services across the Scottish Highlands.

I’m here to help improve your dogs’ or horses’ wellbeing and mobility.

Treatments I offer

All assessments include a detailed case history, static and dynamic assessment and whole body palpation.

This provides a complete analysis of what your dog or horse may be experiencing, and can help identify areas of dysfunction, hyper mobility or restriction.

I’m skilled in a variety of treatment techniques. After carrying out a thorough assessment of your animal, I typically use a combination of the following approaches in order to help with any problems identified:

Treatments include a wide variety of different massage and soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisations or manipulations, myofascial release and stretches
Including infrared laser
- Helps to promote tissue healing
- Relieves pain
- Reduces inflammation
- Injury recovery
Individual exercise programmes are utilised to help to encourage :
- Correct movement patterns

- Improve proprioception (the animal's awareness of where its limbs and body are in space)

Frequently owners may need additional advice on therapeutic handling of their injured animal, or perhaps how to make appropriate adaptations to an animal's home environment and general management in order to assist in their rehabilitation.
