Senior Dog Mobility Support
Senior Dog Care: In-Home Therapy for Aging Dogs
As dogs age, they experience physical and emotional changes that can impact their quality of life. At Paws4Paws, we specialise in in-home therapy for senior dogs, helping them maintain comfort, mobility, and wellbeing throughout the ageing process.
Common Challenges in Ageing Dogs
At Paws4Paws, we use a multimodal approach to support senior dogs through evidence-based, in-home rehabilitation that is gentle, effective, and tailored to their needs.
Our treatments may include:
-
Remedial massage and soft tissue therapy to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce stiffness
-
Myofascial release and trigger point therapy to address chronic tightness and pain
-
Passive range of motion and joint mobilisation to maintain flexibility and reduce joint discomfort
-
Gentle strength and balance exercises to prevent further muscle loss, improve balance and coordination, and reduce fall risk
-
Photobiomodulation (PBMT/laser therapy) to manage inflammation and promote healing

Home Exercise Program
In addition to hands-on therapy, we provide a customised home exercise program designed to support your dog’s strength, flexibility, and stability between sessions.
Each program is:
-
Tailored to your dog’s condition, age, and functional goals
-
Focused on safe, low-impact movements that reinforce therapy outcomes
-
Clearly explained and demonstrated during your session
-
Easy to implement using guidance provided in person and with follow-up support
These exercises help maintain progress between visits, reduce risk of injury, and promote long-term mobility and confidence.
