Mellissa has been treating my two collie crosses since August 2015. Both have various muscle strains and being keen agility dogs I wanted help not only getting their specific injuries healed but also looking at their overall fitness and what we can do to reduce their injury risk in the future.
Mellissa's handling of the dogs is lovely taking time to ensure that both of them are relaxed and comfortable with treatment and her in depth knowledge and understanding of dog behaviour also compliments this.
Lastly being able to have the dogs treated either in our own home or at a venue of my choice makes the whole experience so much less stressful for them, rather than in a vets office environment. I would highly recommend Mellissa to anyone looking for a Physiotherapist.

I would like to thank Mellissa for the fantastic help she has given me with my Portuguese Water dog Ziggy. I show and train Ziggy for competition agility and when he started to not want to jump on the AstroTurf surface I was worried there was an underlying issue. I ask a lot from Ziggy and it is important for me to know that he is physically fit in order for him to be able to work in the manner required, and also very significant that he moves in a balanced way for the show ring.
Mellissa has the talent and expertise to spot any small irregularities that he might have and make any adjustments necessary, she also advises me on a suitable fitness regime for him and proprioceptive and balance exercises to improve his jumping action, even lending me the necessary equipment whilst I purchase my own.
Most important is Ziggy thinks she is great as he can be wary of strangers touching him but he cannot wait for her treatments and is the calmest I ever see him with Mellissa. I would highly recommend Mellissa whether your dog has a condition that needs specific treatment or just to maintain and assure the well being of your dog, no different than an elite sportsman.

Mellissa looked after my agility dog Charlie after he injured his leg last year. I turned to Melissa after being recommended to her by my agility trainer after a number of trips to the vet didn't resolve the problem. The treatment, care and advice she provided has been second to none. It has meant that Charlie is now back to full fitness and this year has already won twice. He has never been so fit and looked so well and felt so good.
The advice and support Mellissa has given us is amazing she really has gone up and beyond and whenever I have a doubt she is always on the end of the phone. She explains everything in so much detail so you know exactly what the issues are and she demonstrates exercises to help overcome and help with recovery. The vet was so impressed with the recovery that he asked for Mellissa's contact details so he could discuss her techniques with him. I will definitely be continuing to use Mellissa to provide regular checks and treatments for both of my dogs.
