What Caroline says about her approach:
"My approach is holistic, considering the needs of the animal, your goals as an owner, whether that be quality of life, post-surgery rehabilitation, or sports competition.
I mostly use manual therapy techniques and electrotherapies such as LASER. See here for more information about my techniques.
Veterinary Physiotherapy is rarely about quick fixes though. I like to use an occupational therapy approach to make the lives of animals as comfortable and enjoyable as they can be for the long term."

Caroline's Core Values
Compassion
Providing the very best care, as if they were my own pets, is at the heart of my values. I love each and every one of my patients and advocate for their welfare and enable them to live their best lives.
Integrity
I have your pet's best interests at heart and I am qualified and trusted to help them be the very best of themselves.
I communicate in a professional manner, explaining my process, clarifying technical terms, and providing honest and empathetic updates on the progress of treatment.
Scientific reasoning
An absolute cornerstone of my practice - I treat using scientific evidence, based on the individual particulars of every animal and clinical reasoning.
Joy
Treating animals and seeing their progress brings me great happiness. I want them to enjoy their physiotherapy sessions too; and feel the benefit of leading happier lives.
