24.01.2022 *Preventative Care* As a physio, I’ve spent years rehabilitating people & animals back from injury. As I gained more & more knowledge throughout my career, I have started thinking about how to maximise wellness long term. It’s hard when dogs come to me at the later stages of life & although I do my very best to help, my heart sinks when I hear owners say ‘ I wish I knew about these things sooner’. Preventative care involves discussing lifestyle, exercise, weight management & ...strength work. There’s so much we can do to keep our dogs fit, healthy & happy. Big shout out to my preventative care crew: @daniellemavricos @babygotbite @speaking.dog @paigedoddstein @finnthegroodle @shanay_stuchbury @shepherdsquad_ @positive_k9_training - - - #preventativehealth #dogsofmelbourne #melbournedogs #melbournedogsofinsta #caninefitness #caninewellnesscentre #thedogwellnesscentre #strengthandconditioning #longevity #loveofdogs #groodlesofmelbourne #blackrussianterriersofinstagram #germanshepherdsofinsta #aussieshepherd #rottiex #rottiesofinstagram #caninephysio See more

23.01.2022 Star Quality Sound on ... @alfietheirishdoodle was having some elbow trouble so we made some lifestyle changes & hopefully he can avoid having surgery. When’s he’s not swimming, he joins his mum @sophieweiss1 who has the voice of an angel Alfie, not so much This video really makes me giggle & I hope it does the same for you.

22.01.2022 Happy Saturday Meet Tiffy Every time I look at her smiling face I’m filled with joy. Tiffy is tiny but resilient She teaches an important lesson. Despite these challenging times, our souls are growing & we are adapting. There are glimpses of possibility, presence & creativity on the horizon. - - -... #teacupyorkie #yorkieterrier #yorkshireterriersofinstagram #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuesofinstagram #melbournedogs #dogsofmelbourne #petsofmelbourne #melbournepets #smilingdog #myheart #lovemyjob #tiffy #dogsofelwood #dogsofstkilda #brightondogs #possibility #presence #creativity See more

20.01.2022 Home exercises are a great way to add fitness, fun & strength to your dogs life. There are lots of ways to position your dog to target various muscle groups. Strong muscles aid longevity in life. The same principle applies to us so let’s all keep fit together ... - - -... #homeexercises #caninefitness #fitnessfriday #thedogwellnesscentre #lovemydog #koby #choclab #chocolatelabrador #labradorsofmelbourne #melbournelabradors #labradorsofinsta #melbournepets #melbournedogs #melbournedoglovers #dogsofmelbourne #caninefitness #caninephysio #baysidedogownersgroup #dendypark #elsternwickpark See more

20.01.2022 Healthy Weight Meet Audrey, the sweetest mini dachshund Her owners have been amazing in taking on advice about weight control. We all have to be careful not to over feed or over treat. The ideal shape has been highlighted in this photo showing an ‘hour glass’ waist line when looking from above. If you’ve got a fluffy pooch, you can feel over the ribs for this shape. If there’s a thick covering your dog may be on the heavy side. I’m highlighting this because canine obesity... is a big health problem across the globe & many owners aren’t sure how to monitor their dogs weight apart from the odd weigh in at the vets. Let’s all work together to ensure optimal wellness for dogs. - - - #caninewellness #thedogwellnesscentre #optimalweight #longevity #healthylifestyle #bodyconditioning #dachshundsofinstagram #melbournedachshund #melbournedachshunds #dachshundsofmelbourne #hourglassfigure #melbournedogs #melbournedoglovers #melbournedogsofinsta #stkildaeast #stkildawest #baysidedogsmelbourne #caninephysio #petsofmelbourne #melbournepets

17.01.2022 Weight Watch This is our beloved Tonka the #germanpinscher I am using his story as an example of how easy this issue is to overlook. I weighed Mr T yesterday & he has gained 1kg, NOT GOOD Training treats & not weighing his meals like we used to is the probable cause. Carrying excess weight is disastrous for a dogs health & puts them at increased risk of musculoskeletal injury. Its really important that you know what your dogs ideal weight is & make immediate changes to g...et things in order to ensure optimal health and wellness long term. - - - #thedogwellnesscentre #tonka #germanpinschersofinstagram #ourdog #dogsofmelbourne #melbournedogs #melbournedogsofinsta #petsofmelbourne #melbournepets #blackandtan #optimalwellness #longevity #weightwatchers #caninephysio #stkildadogs #elwoodvillage #dogsofsouthyarra #prahran #dogsofbrighton See more

17.01.2022 Dog of the week Molly the #labradoodle has just completed an intensive course of hydrotherapy to strengthen her knee. Cruciate disease was causing her severe pain & she had to have #TPLO surgery. Molly’s owners have been nothing short of amazing in following through with rehab to strengthen Molly’s leg for when their new puppy arrives. Working towards having a fit & strong pet offers the best quality of life for all dogs as they journey through life by our sides.

17.01.2022 Reflections Taking a moment to thank all my wonderful loyal clients during these difficult times. It’s an honour to work with your beautiful doggies & here are a snap shot of just a few. I started TDWC as a I wanted to create a special place for dogs & their owners. A place where all things dog wellness was paramount. I’m confident we have achieved that & our positive healing space emulates good vibes for all who step through the door. - - -... #melbourne #dogsofmelbourne #melbournedoglovers #petsofmelbourne #melbournepets #frenchiesofmelbourne #frenchiesofinstagram #dachshundsofmelbourne #oodlesofmelbourne #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedogsofmelbourne #pugsofinsta #pugsofmelbourne #cavlove #cavaliersofmelbourne #thedogwellnesscentre #caninephysio See more

16.01.2022 The face of love Meet Blossom everyone She had a severe spinal problem which caused paralysis of her back legs. Surgery was the only option. Her owners reached out to me for assistance with rehabilitation as they want to get the absolute best outcome for Blossom. Their main goal is for healthy life that’s not hampered by this awful condition. So we are instilling great care & lifestyle changes now to ensure their goal is attained long term. - - -... #hansentype1 #discdisease #pekingese #pekingeseofmelbourne #pekingeseofinstagram #blossom #spinalrehab #caninephysio #dogsofmelbourne #melbournedogs #melbournedogsofinsta #petsofmelbourne #melbournepets #dendypark #baysidemelbourne #baysidedogsmelbourne #thedogwellnesscentre See more

15.01.2022 Gushy post alert Today I give thanks for all the wonderful opportunities I’ve had in my life....The people I’ve met, the places I’ve visited.

12.01.2022 Dream team Three happy hearts, three great mates. Two happy hearts on the other side of the camera, two great mates as well. I owe a huge thank you to Koby & jess’s mum @jesskoby0505 It’s was her who encouraged me to get in front of the camera & do the educational videos during lockdown. She patiently recorded take after take with lots of lols included. Also you’ll notice her doggy’s were the models! Thank you x Catherine. This post is dedicated to you . - - -... #dreamteam #squadgoals #tonka #koby #jess #thedogwellnesscentre #helpingdogs #helpingeachother #dogsofmelbourne #melbournedogs #melbournedogsofinsta #melbournedoglovers #dogsofstkilda #southyarradogs #baysidedogsmelbourne #petsofmelbourne #melbournepets #caninephysio See more

11.01.2022 Double Trouble Charlie & Frankie visit the centre weekly. Charlie had spinal surgery. He walks with an unusual gait but the fact that he lives an independent life is a miracle after being completely paralysed from his spinal issues. Frankie is Charlie’s biggest fan & cheerleader during his hydro sessions - - -... #frenchiesofmelbourne #melbournefrenchies #bulldogsofinstagram #caninephysio #thedogwellnesscentre #caninehydrotherapy #brotherandsister #charliethedog #frankiethedog #petsofmelbourne #melbournepets #dogsofmelbourne #melbournedogsofinsta #melbournedoglovers #melbournedogs #brightondogs #baysidemelbourne See more

09.01.2022 Our dogs gain huge benefit from massage just like we do. In physio terms it reduces muscle tension & pain, improves flexibility and aids in the recovery and/or maintenance of a variety of conditions. It’s also a great way to enhance the bond you share with your dog. Why not give it at go at home & let your hands do the healing ... - - - .... #caninemassage #caninewellness #bonding #physicaltherapy #caninephysio #lovemydog #thedogwellnesscentre #healinghands #labradorsofmelbourne #labradorsofinstagram #labsofmelbourne #choclabsofinstagram #muscles #backrub #jess See more

09.01.2022 Feel Good Friday Spinal injuries wreak havoc on a dogs freedom & quality of life. Not to mention the stress & strain on owners.

08.01.2022 Our dogs are always communicating with us, mostly in a loving & happy way. But sometimes they need to get other messages across & we need to always be listening..... Some signs of back pain include: Reluctance to jump Altered walking Abnormal back posture Reduced activity levels Anxious behaviour #jess #chocolatelabsofinsta #choclab #choclabsofinstagram #labradorsofmelbourne #melbournelabradors #labsofmelbourne #thedogwellnesscentre #hometips #optimalwellness #dogsofmelbourne #melbournedogs #melbournedoglovers #petsofmelbourne #caninephysio #caninewellness

08.01.2022 Passive Range of Motion Dior is a tough cookie. Having had two spinal surgeries within her first year of life, she’s no stranger to the rehab process. Unfortunately Dior ruptured her cruciate ligament & just had it repaired. Here’s an awesome video her mum made at home. We perform these movements to regain and maintain flexibility in the early days after surgery. They are gentle & effective with no effort required by the dog. - - -... #tplorecovery #tplosurgery #minibullterrier #minibullies #diorthedog #thedogwellnesscentre #caninephysio #melbournedogs #dogsofmelbourne #petsofmelbourne #melbournepets #stkildadogs #dogsofsouthyarra #portmelbourne #southmelbourne #rehab #recovery See more

01.01.2022 Canine Enrichment Now is a time in our lives where routines have been interrupted. So here’s a quick & easy game to provide mental stimulation, enjoyment & reward to your dogs daily life.

01.01.2022 Face of happiness @finnthegroodle came to visit me last week. His mum wants to take a preventative approach to a hip issue that was identified by the vet. By working on a hydrotherapy plan plus a home strengthening program with a little bit of massage afterwards, I aim to get Finn living his best life for the longest time possible. There are many lifestyle changes you can adopt to minimise the wear & tear on your dogs body if they have any pre-existing conditions. Yes, in m...any cases surgery is necessary but if not, there’s lots that can be done to help minimise pain & dysfunction later in a dogs life. - - - #groodlesofinstagram #groodlesaustralia #groodlesau #groodlesofmelbourne #groodlesofaustralia #groodlesofinsta #smilingdog #caninephysio #thedogwellnesscentre #dogsofmelbourne #melbournedoglovers #melbournedogsofinsta #dogsofinstagram #preventativecare #prehabnotrehab #homeexercises #caninehydrotherapy See more
