Cara was excellent and ensured Cooper was at ease during his appointment. He was extremely relaxed and loved the extra attention he was getting during his massage. Cara was also very good at explaining what she was doing, which helps me to understand Coopers' injuries and treatment plan better

Our dog has is currently attending Alba Vet Physio following surgery for paralysis caused by IVDD.From the first visit, her physiotherapist Cara has been very gentle and calm whilst encouraging her to retain her mobility. I’m happy to report that, between the weekly sessions and the home exercise routine that Cara suggested, Kaley mobility is increasing every week.Unfortunately I can’t seem to attach the videos of her.

I was referred to Alba following knee replacement surgery. From initial contact, they were friendly, helpful and professional. The physio I saw was excellent and most reassuring about my recovery. The exercise programme being easily available via their online app is brilliant. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

I had 8 weeks of hydro and laser therapy at ALBA physio and had a brilliant experience from all sides of the team - booking was easy, sessions were really professional and it's clear the whole team care deeply for the animals they are treating. Bramble and I really appreciated them and are now significantly down the road of recovery thanks to them!

I have been very pleased with Joy's assessment and treatment of my two dogs, and both their mobility problems have improved. Joy, friendly and professional, has given me useful advice regarding exercises I should do at home with the dogs.

We’ve been using Alba Veterinary Physio for a while now, and it’s done wonders for our bulldog Buddy, who has numerous issues with his hips and hind legs. The laser treatment and massage helps him relax, and the water treadmill has been wonderful for building up his leg muscles - within a few sessions he’d stopped falling over when he runs, and we now return for maintenance, to keep him his best self. More recently, our senior Frenchie has also started at Alba, and there was a marked improvement in her posture after just one session. She’s having sessions every 2 or 3 weeks now, to keep up the muscle tone in her hind legs, and help her overall conditioning. So much better than putting the dogs through surgery. Thank you!

Joy made a detailed and accurate diagnosis of my dog’s lameness . She explained the cause of the problem. The treatment ( massage , exercise , laser therapy and hydrotherapy) ,combined with exercises she gave us to do with Bramble, have produced rapid results . My dog is no longer limping, is less stiff and has regained muscle mass . I am very impressed with their professionalism.

Joy was excellent, she gave my dog time to settle in and get comfortable before getting hands on, explained her assessment and the plan well, and never pushed him beyond his comfort zone.

Very pleased with the care, treatment and advice I have received. Brid quickly spotted what was wrong and explained how she could work with me to remedy the problem, as well as her treatment in clinic providing an exercise plan and lots of information to help me understand. All the staff are friendly and helpful.

Appointment was easily set up with confirmation from Brid by email and a reminder sent the day before. Location is a bit tricky to find but Google Maps takes you there.Very friendly and knowledgeable staff - Joy made sure our dog was calm and relaxed before starting physio. Each exercise was clearly explained and demonstrated.Excellent follow up from Tabitha and with a link to exercise videos to be performed at home and a check in on our dog's welfare after the session.I would highly recommend Alba Veterinary Physio and we look forward to our next session.Richard (and Zappa the Lab)

Only one appointment, however so far the customer service has been excellent. Time was has taken to understand my problem and to listen. Follow up stretching information was prompt, which will help me in interim and longer term.

Brid and her team at Alba are first class - professional, cheerful and compassionate. They are very customer focused and take the time to learn about your individual needs and pressures when making up programmes and during treatment. I would highly recommend them.

Jimmy had surgery for a herniated disc in January and was left unable to stand and with minimal movement in his back legs. I was given basic physio exercises by the vet to do with him at home but decided he needed extra help hence contacting Alba. He has since been having weekly physio with Joy and 4 months later is able to stand for short periods and walk, still with assistance, but is so much stronger and making steady progress. We were told it would be a long job to get him back on his feet, I think without the extra physio he wouldn't have come this far this quickly. Although he hates the hydrotherapy treadmill and being a lazy Greyhound won't put in much effort, it has all definitely helped him. The extra exercises and advice I have been given has proved invaluable, and I know that should we need any help in future I can contact them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone faced with a similar situation.

Alba Physiotherapy is by far the best treatment I have received so far. I have seen 4 or 5 different physios in the last 12 years but I got results from Alba almost immediately. The team there really listen to your ailments and get right to the heart of the problem. The online support aswell through the exercise app is 1st class. Highly recommended.

Our dog Oakley has hip Dysplasia and was referred to Alba Physio. Joy has been amazing with him. He enjoys his massage and then he goes on the treadmill. We can’t believe what a difference it has made. No limping and we can take him out for proper walks now. Joy is so good at telling us what exercises to do at home and what equipment to use that we would have around the house.

Nelson our Leonberger has been getting physio and hydrotherapy for the past year with Joy who is lovely and patient with him for hind leg weakness. He has improved so much and it has been amazing for building up his muscles. Very friendly and you are out at ease by Joy and the team, I would highly recommend them.

Fantastic facility and really helped our dogs Lilo and Stitch who are Newfoundland/St Bernard cross breeds of significant size. Both have had cruciate ligament surgery in the past 12-16 months and aiding their recovery with sessions with Joy have been great to help them recover well. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Marion Hopper

Oliver has chronic lower back issues and the work Joy has done with him to relax and strengthen his muscles has helped greatly to increase his activity levels. As part of our management of Oliver's exercise he is now happily enjoying longer walks and running around, from hills to beaches. Oliver had 14 initial sessions over c6 months and now has monthly maintenance sessions with Joy.
