We believe that movement is a fundamental right, not just for us, but for the companions who walk beside us. Canine Kinetics was established to bridge the gap between clinical excellence and compassionate care, treating every patient with the same rigor and nuance we apply to human physiology.
Our boutique clinic in South Melbourne is designed as a space for quiet recovery. We operate at the intersection of evidence-based physiotherapy and individualised hydrotherapy, ensuring that every treatment plan is as unique as the anatomy it serves.
Founded by Joanna, a physiotherapist with deep roots in both human clinical settings and the canine field, Canine Kinetics prides itself on a collaborative approach. We work alongside referring veterinarians and pet owners to implement positive reinforcement and precise manual techniques that help elderly dogs regain a new lease on life and assist athletes in returning to peak performance.
Utilizing methodologies from the University of Otago and the National Institute of Performing Arts, we apply hospital-grade rigor to every musculoskeletal assessment.
Hydrotherapy is more than exercise; it is a controlled environment for low-impact conditioning, overseen by therapists who understand the mechanics of buoyancy.
"We teach old dogs new tricks through tailored programs for injury recovery and prolonged lifestyle adjustments."
