Assessment 

Firstly we will have a chat about the problems you dog has wheather that be recovering from an operation or an injury. I will ask you various questions to see how your dog is managing at home and with exercise. Any medications your dog is taking and any previous medical issues.

The dog will be assessed walking and trotting or moving around as able.

We will then look at posture and other functional movements such as sitting or lying.

From here I will have a feel over your dog to assess the muscles and joints and carry out certian tests depending on the problem.

From this assessment we can formulate a problem list and see how we can help with these issues.
