Spot Pain Early—Support Your Dog’s Comfort

Many dogs show discomfort in subtle ways—long before it becomes obvious. Maybe they move differently, hesitate on stairs, or just seem less eager on walks. It’s easy to miss unless you know what to look for. I’ll help you spot those early signs and prevent injuries before they slow your dog down—so they can stay strong, active, and happy in daily life.

Help Your Dog Feel Better—Naturally

You don’t need fancy tools or clinical setups to help your dog feel better. Gentle hands, calm routines, and simple techniques can go a long way. From light massage to quiet movement, I’ll show you ways to ease tension, support healing, and create moments of comfort—right at home.

Build Strength for Everyday Life

Strength isn’t just built through long hikes or hard workouts—it comes from consistent, intentional movement that activates the whole body from within.
Through balance work, coordination exercises, and walks with purpose, your dog becomes stronger, steadier, and more confident in daily life. When they’re ready, short bursts of higher-intensity activity can be part of the plan too. I’ll guide you with simple ways to build strength and coordination, no matter your dog’s age or ability.

Our dog Big, a 64 kg mix breed, suffered a cruciate ligament injury that led to a long rehabilitation. That’s when Lena came into our lives. The prognosis for such large dogs is often uncertain, but thanks to Lena’s incredible support, Big got through the toughest time of his life. She not only helped him, but supported us with advice, empathy, and a warm smile. Thanks to her, we had three wonderful extra years with Big. He lived a long and happy life, and we’re forever grateful.

After each rehab visit, I noticed Belly felt incredibly well. I have to say that with the multiple problems she had, she probably lived longer than she would have if you hadn't helped her. She was healthy and lively until the very end, even on Sunday. In the evening, it just came. I think she had a stroke. But one thing is certain—your care and expertise made a difference, and we're forever grateful.

Black labrador Retriever

You were like an angel when we first came to you for the last chance. You've had Ronja for 2.5 years and are forever grateful for everything you've done for her! You gave us more time together. She loved coming to you to swim and get much-needed treatment. She ran towards your door with joy! You have no idea how much you've brightened our lives in the last period. I could always turn to you, especially in Ronja's last days. Thank you for your immense support and care. All love to you.  

Louise

We have been attending rehab on and off for many years, depending on Julie's physical condition, and it has been invaluable to us! In addition to the actual treatment, it has been reassuring to bounce ideas off someone, receive tips for everyday life, and exercise at home. When Julie was at her worst, it was a beacon of hope to have an appointment with the physio booked because we always knew that she would feel a bit better when we got home again. We continued to go there occasionally, even when her injuries were not acute, because it felt good to have a check-up on the body. Julie also, even though she was a "special" and stubborn dog with many opinions, really enjoyed visiting her beloved physio.
