CanineTech Rehab began from a love of both dogs and physiotherapy. We would like to improve the quality of rehabilitative care for not only humans, but also our human companions, our dogs. We provide the high quality, advanced manual therapy skills of a physiotherapist for your dog.

We believe in educating you, as an owner, so you can understand and take an active role in the rehabilitation of your dog. Active participation is required; therefore exercise is an important part of all treatments.

Our canine rehab therapist has undergone extensive, advanced level post-graduate training to enhance her human physiotherapy education, assessment and treatment skills. In 2015, Cheryl obtained her Diploma in Canine Rehabilitation. This required more than 200 hours of canine specific continuing education, which focused on anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, clinical conditions, common veterinary surgical and clinical interventions, handling skills, as well as physiotherapy specific assessment, treatment and exercise techniques.
