From Michelle's Desk
July is a great time to evaluate how you are going halfway through the year. I've looked at what was working, what our clients needed, and what else we can do to serve more patients and provide the service they need to get them back on their feet faster. The result...a revised course structure making it available to more people, acupuncture now available, online appointments for those who can't make it to the clinic and home visits coming soon in selected areas.
This, together with lots more success stories from our patients recovering from injury, being able to move again, and lots of happy fur baby parents, is what makes all that I do worthwhile. I look forward to seeing you in the clinic and my wonderful team supporting you to get your best friend back on their feet sooner. With love and gratitude,
- Michelle

Wagging tails stories of success
Gidget
Gidget was referred to "Dogs in Motion" after having had major spinal surgery from which there was no certainty that she would ultimately regain mobility. At the commencement of her treatment program, Gidget could not walk at all: without the many sessions of supervised underwater treadmill she experienced during her program, she might not have regained her ability to move. The underwater treadmill sessions boosted Gidget's confidence and gave her a new lease of life. These sessions were subsequently reinforced by acupuncture which further assisted Gidget's return to a more happy situation.
Without the supervised rehabilitation program, Gidget (after having had major spinal surgery) might have become an immobile, sad little girl: as it transpired, she is cheeky, active and happy.
The services rendered at Dogs in Motion are individually developed for each participant and closely monitored by the expert team, ensuring that optimal results are obtained.
I would highly recommend the services of Dogs in Motion for any dog needing rehabilitation after surgery: the staff are compassionate, caring and knowledgeable and aim to bring about the best possible outcome for the dog and owner.
Jenna
"I cannot speak highly enough of Michelle and her wonderful team at Dogs in Motion for their care, encouragement and professional approach to enable Jenna to now enjoy and sustain her mobility with the freedom to run and play in the park and at home.
Jenna my rescue Maremma was diagnosed with spinal canal stenosis 3 yrs ago. her future looked grim with paralysis and incontinence the end result. I credit Michelle and her program with now having a dog who is happy, much fitter than ever before, and with only slight signs of a limp left.
Her balance has improved 100% and she can even jump into the car to go to the park without assistance, something she was completely unable to do before. Dogs in Motion is a very special, professional, highly trained group of people dedicated to seeing every dog can reach their own potential with empathy and caring not only for our beloved companions but for us/me as well.
My love and thanks to you all - Lynne
