“He’s walking, so he must be okay.”
This is one of the most common rehab myths we hear.

Dogs are incredibly good at adapting. They can continue to walk “normally”, even when something isn’t quite right.

Walking tells us that they can move, not how well they’re moving.

Rehab isn’t just about getting movement back.
It’s about restoring quality, control, and balance before small issues become bigger ones.

Sudden and persistent neurological changes are always a red flag! 🚩

Not sure what to look out for? Just remember B.E.F.A.S.T!

Some signs like circling or head tilt can also occur with other conditions such as vestibular disease. This is why proper veterinary evaluation is essential.

We’ve covered this in more detail in our latest blog post! 🔗 Link in bio.

Strokes in dogs are uncommon, but recognising the signs early matters.

Sudden balance loss, head tilt, eye changes, or changes in behaviour should never be ignored.

If something feels sudden and off, trust that instinct and seek veterinary care promptly.

If you’d like to learn more, including risk factors, how strokes present, and what to do next, we’ve broken this down in our latest blog post - Link in bio!

Progress isn’t always louder or heavier — sometimes it’s cleaner.
Less compensation. Better control. Same task.
That’s real rehab progress. 💪🧠

Progress doesn’t always look dramatic. Often, it shows up as subtle changes in symmetry, control and tolerance.

Do you notice anything different in the way your dog moves at the start versus at the end of the walk? Do you notice how rehab improved the way they move? If you have, share with us and comment down below!👇🏻

In our previous post, we shared how the gluteal muscles support hip stability and forward propulsion.

Here are examples of how we load the glutes during rehabilitation, depending on a dog’s assessment, pain levels, and stage of recovery.

The same movement can help one dog — and overload another.

This is why we don’t prescribe exercises in isolation.
Movement quality always comes first.

The gluteal muscles play a key role in stabilising the hips and supporting propulsion during walking and running.
When they underperform, other parts of the body quietly compensates.

A lot of rehab happens quietly.
Thoughtful assessment, careful exercise selection,
and watching how a dog moves, not just whether they can complete a task.

Looking back on the past year of rehabilitation work, one thing became very clear. Dogs may come in with different diagnoses, but the way movement adapts and compensates often follows familiar patterns.

Real progress isn’t about doing more exercises. It comes from understanding what needs to change, why it matters, and how to support it consistently.

Meet Clarice 🩵

Clarice’s journey into rehabilitation began as a pet owner — when her own dog, Jagger, needed more than time and rest to recover. Seeing how rehabilitation played a huge role in helping Jagger regain his mobility changed how she viewed care, movement, and recovery.

Today, Clarice is a rehabilitation technician at Nimble Paws. She brings a calm presence to each session, is thoughtful with handling, and pays close attention to the small details that shape how rehabilitation feels for both pet and owner.

She’s currently pursuing her CCRP training while learning within the Nimble Paws mentorship programme, gradually building her clinical skills in a structured, physiotherapist-led environment.

We’re grateful to support her growth and to have her as part of the work we do every day.

A year, month by month.

From a clinic under renovation to dogs moving with more confidence and ease — this year reminded us of a few important things.

That movement tells a story, even when dogs and cats can’t.
That progress is often quiet, but deeply meaningful.
That structured assessments matter.
And that rehabilitation works best when owners are part of the process.

We’re deeply thankful for every client who believed in what we do,
and trusted the process, even when slowing down was part of the work.

Here’s to more pets moving better —
with care behind every step.

Pain changes posture.
Posture changes load.
Load changes how dogs move — and cope.

This year reminded us that progress doesn’t come from rushing or doing more. It comes from slowing down, understanding the whole body, and being intentional with every decision in rehab.

🔎 Clear assessment.
💭 Thoughtful progression.
✊🏻 Respecting what each dog is ready for.

That’s the standard we’ll carry into the new year~

Your dog’s harness matters more than you think!

🤔 Imagine putting on a pair of tight, poor fitting shoes and walking 5000 steps everyday - that’s the impact a harness can have on your dog as well!

🐕 Case study: Ollie came to us with some left front limb limping. Our NIMBLE™ assessment revealed left elbow pain, and one culprit was the harness that he has had since young. It restricted shoulder movement, resulting in uneven loading in his elbow joint and pain. After fitting him with a more suitable harness and some physio sessions, Ollie is back to his 3km walks pain-free! Now he continues rehab to strengthen his shoulder muscles and improve his trunk stability 💪🏻

💁🏻‍♀️ NIMBLE Tip: Much like buying shoes, try on the harness and get your dog to walk around a bit before purchasing. A good-fitting harness goes a long long way.

Still not convinced? Or not sure if your dog’s harness fits well? Feel free to drop us a DM. We are happy to help always! 🐾

Dogs rarely show pain clearly — their bodies compensate long before limping begins. Over time, these quiet adjustments can make movement less efficient and place extra stress on the joints and spine.

In physiotherapy, one of the most important things we work on is restoring efficient, well-supported movement — so dogs can move with less effort, fewer flare-ups, and more confidence.

If you’ve noticed subtle changes in your dog’s posture or gait, you’re welcome to send a short walking clip. We’re happy to share what we see! 👀

The most common thing we work on in physiotherapy isn’t pain — it’s movement efficiency.

Dogs are incredibly good at hiding discomfort. They learn to move around weak hips, stiff spines, tired muscles or old injuries long before they start limping.

These quiet compensations often look like:
• Shorter steps
• Heavier forelimb loading
• Truncal sway
• Using momentum instead of strength

They get through the day — but their bodies work harder than they should.

Physio helps restore movement that is efficient, controlled and supported, so dogs can move with less effort and more confidence! 🐕

Luxating patella isn’t just a “knee problem.”When the patella slips, the whole body compensates — posture shifts, weight-bearing changes, and certain muscles start working harder than they should.

Baby came to us with a left patella luxation, and with consistent, structured strengthening, his posture, confidence, and stability have all improved!

The progress you see in-clinic is only half the story — the real change happens when owners stay committed at home 🙆🏻‍♀️

Movement always gets better when it’s supported from every angle! 🐕

Strength protects — drop us a DM if you need guidance on where to start!

Nimble Paws turns one today! 🩵

When we opened our doors a year ago, we hoped to create a place where pets could move with confidence again — and where owners felt heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Since then, we’ve had the privilege of walking alongside so many dogs and cats through pain, progress, setbacks, breakthroughs, and the small everyday wins that matter most. Every patient, every owner, every story has shaped who we are becoming.

Thank you for trusting us with your pets’ comfort, their movement, and their milestones.

Thank you for showing up, asking questions, doing the home exercises, and believing that your animals deserve thoughtful, evidence-based care.

As we enter year two, we hold onto what matters:
• Movement as a foundation for wellbeing
• Assessments before assumptions
• Owners as partners, not bystanders
• Progress honoured at each pet’s own pace

Here’s to more movement, more milestones, and more wagging tails! 🐕🐈

Breaking barriers. Empowering movement.

How a human physiotherapy foundation elevates animal rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation is more than exercise. It is assessment, clinical reasoning, and skilled manual techniques shaped by years of hands-on experience.

Animal rehabilitation draws deeply from human physiotherapy research. That foundation guides how we analyse movement, prescribe targeted exercises, and restore balance and confidence in the body.

We’ve seen how physiotherapy transforms human recovery — from post-surgery and spinal cord injuries to helping stroke survivors regain independence. That same drive to rebuild movement and dignity now shapes how we care for dogs and cats.

Because meaningful rehab isn’t about tiring the body. It’s about teaching it to move well again!💪🏻

We’re growing, and we’re so happy to welcome Samantha, our new full-time physiotherapist at Nimble Paws 💙

Samantha is a licensed human physiotherapist (BSc Physiotherapy, University of South Australia) with over seven years of experience specialising in neurological and amputee rehabilitation.

Her background in these complex areas deepens how we understand and rebuild movement across every stage of recovery. Like us, she believes movement is never optional — and that empowering owners with understanding is just as important as hands-on care.

With Samantha on board, we continue to strengthen our vision of a physiotherapist-led clinic, one that raises the standard of animal rehabilitation through structure, science, and purpose.

We can’t wait for you to meet her (and her Jindo, Mungoh!) 🐾

Why We Tape?

Ever seen dogs with sports tape on their bodies?
It’s not decoration — it’s rehab.

Tape can help with pain relief, swelling management, and guiding or restricting movement during recovery. It’s also used to activate or relax muscles — depending on what the body needs.

In humans, we can cue movement verbally.
In dogs, tape acts as a gentle sensory guide to help create the movement we want to encourage.

It’s never a fix on its own — just one of many tools we use as part of a structured, evidence-based rehab plan.

🩹 Tape with purpose. Movement matters.

#dogphysio #caninerehab #movementmatters #kinesiotape #dogrehab #caninerehabilitation #tapingfordogs #physiotherapy #animalrehab #caninerehabphysio #nimblepaws

These aren’t fashion accessories.

We use tape a lot in human rehab — and it works just as well (if not better) in dogs.

Tape can help with pain relief, swelling management, and guiding or restricting movement — depending on how it’s applied.

The difference?
🧍 Humans can adjust their movement when we cue them verbally.
🐶 Dogs can’t — so tape helps facilitate the movement we want to create.

It’s a sensory cue, not a fix — always part of structured rehab.

Spot the Signs 🔍

Sometimes when a dog stops listening halfway through an exercise — or starts looking around — it’s not stubbornness, it’s fatigue! 🐕
⠀
A question we often get from owners is, “How many reps should I do?” 🤔

We usually provide a guide for sets and reps, but more importantly, we teach owners to read their dog’s cues — to pause or stop when signs of fatigue appear.
⠀
Loss of focus or hesitation can be an early sign that their body is tired, even if they’re still moving well! 🐾
⠀
In physiotherapy, recognising mental drift is just as important as spotting physical fatigue. That’s when we stop and give them a break between sets.
⠀
Would you have thought this was fatigue? 👀

Tired ≠ Happy.

It’s common to think more exercise will help a restless dog settle — but when the body isn’t moving well, fatigue can cause more strain than relief.

Dogs that overexert on stiff or sore joints often compensate,
and what looks fine after play may turn into stiffness or limping the next day.

At Nimble Paws, we focus on how your dog moves — because healthy movement builds strength, balance, and recovery.

A happy dog isn’t the most tired one. It’s the one that moves freely and feels good! 🐕

⚖️ Beginner Friendly Exercise #3: Balance & Coordination

Do you know that balance is one of the key pillars of exercise?

For dogs, balance work helps keep their movement stable, improves coordination, and builds body awareness. 🐾
✔️ Easy: Stand with front paws on one cushion and back paws on another — start with 15s holds
✔️ Progress: Build up gradually, aiming for up to 60s. Add head turns or alternate hand shakes for extra challenge.

🗓️ Do 3–5 sets, daily.

⚠️ PSA: Stop if your dog looks tired or frustrated.

Osteopathy meets Physiotherapy at Nimble Paws 🐾

We’re excited to share that osteopathic techniques are now being integrated into our physiotherapy sessions.

I recently completed a Masterclass in Advanced Osteopathic Techniques 🇦🇺 as part of my ongoing Canine Osteopathy Diploma — another step in deepening how we support dogs (and cats) at Nimble Paws.

I’ve always believed in the power of hands-on therapy and movement. By blending osteopathic techniques with exercise-based physiotherapy, we’re expanding our rehab toolbox to better tailor treatment to each dog’s needs.

I’ll be gradually integrating these techniques into my sessions as part of this broader clinic evolution — and I’m excited for what’s ahead as our team grows 🌿

🐕‍🦺 Beginner Friendly Exercise #2: Dog Push-ups!

Just like we build upper body strength with push-ups, dogs can work theirs with the same exercise.
✔️ Easy: Elevated push-ups with front paws on a step (the higher the step, the easier it is)
✔️ Progress: Push-ups with front paws on the ground

🗓️ Aim for 6–8 reps, 3 sets, every other day.

⚠️ PSA: Keep reps slow and controlled.

Here’s another at-home exercise you and your dog can try while the clinic is on break.

✔️ Progress: Elevated sit-to-stands with front paws on a step or stack of books (higher = harder)

🗓️ Aim for 6–8 reps, 3 sets, every other day.

⚠️ PSA: Use a yoga mat or carpet for a safe, non-slip surface.

Ever wondered what a physiotherapist looks for when a dog walks into the clinic?

Here’s a sneak peek into a physio’s eyes — the simple steps we use to spot compensation, a dog’s way of showing pain:
1️⃣ Check their stand — leaning forward or loading more weight on one side?
2️⃣ Watch the hips — swaying more, or one side dropping lower?
3️⃣ Observe push-off — is one back leg driving less or not extending fully?
4️⃣ Check the stride — are the steps shorter, uneven, or out of rhythm?

These aren’t quirks. Reduced push-off, swaying hips, and shorter steps are signs of pain — what we call compensation.

👉 Save this guide to spot these changes early in your own dog.

⚠️ Disclaimer: For educational purposes only. If you notice these signs, please seek veterinary or physiotherapy assessment.

Ever limped after hurting your ankle… and then your back started aching? 🤔

That’s because of compensation — your body finds a workaround, but it spreads strain to other areas. Guess what? Dogs do the same! They can’t say it hurts, but their movement changes show it: reduced push-off, swaying hips, or shorter steps.

Compensation happens in both humans and dogs — and it’s their way of adapting to their pain.

Meet Schayenne 👋

She came in with a luxating patella and a super hunched back — sitting, standing, even during exercise. The hunch was her way of compensating for knee pain, and the pain made her very guarded — even snapping when touched.

After a few sessions, her back is straighter, and she’s noticeably calmer and more at ease. What made the real difference? Structured rehab sessions plus her owner’s consistent work at home!💪🏻

Physiotherapy isn’t just about posture. It’s about helping dogs feel safe, supported, and confident in their bodies again! 🐕

Reps can lie. Movement doesn’t.
Numbers might look like progress — but if form breaks down, it’s not real strength.

We see it all the time:
👀 Owners who only count reps.
👀 Owners who focus on form — but forget exercise prescription (right amount, right pace, right progression).
👀 And some who do neither.

Butter had hip surgery a few months back. Poor stability made him sit with his hip turned in. With sports tape and the right equipment, we guided him to sit square — so his muscles fired correctly and built real strength.

At Nimble Paws, we focus on quality reps within proper prescription. That’s how we prevent injury, build lasting strength, and help dogs truly move better.

Spot the Signs 🔍

Last time, we showed how a dachshund compensated during a balance exercise.
This time, it’s another dog — but the story’s the same: when the challenge increases, the body finds a way.

First set: controlled movement into a sit, holds good form.
Final set: ‘drops’ into a sit with poor control, shifting weight to her stronger leg.

Dogs don’t always show tiredness by lying down. More often, it shows up in their form.
And when those compensations repeat, they can turn into habits — or even injuries.

That’s why in physiotherapy, we don’t just watch for how many reps are done, but how each one is performed.

👀 Try it yourself - start spotting signs of fatigue when you are doing exercises with your dog! Quality is always better than quantity! 💪🏻

More isn’t always better when it comes to your dog’s exercise.

Just because a dog can do an exercise doesn’t mean she’s doing it properly.

Here, Martha lifts her left hind paw whenever she was asked for a right paw shake. That means she’s not shifting weight towards her left hind leg — a small compensation that can point to weakness in the diagonal chain.

These subtle signs matter, especially in breeds with a higher risk of back and joint issues — dachshunds, Frenchies, pugs, and corgis. They remind us it’s not about ticking off an exercise — it’s about noticing how the body moves, and what those details reveal.

Form is more important than the exercise itself.
