Hello and thank you for visiting CanineKinetics website

CanineKinetics combines a lifetime of experience, professional study and  qualifications to support dogs in achieving improved physical and emotional wellbeing.

For more than forty years, I have had the privilege of working professionally with dogs, beginning my career as a veterinary nurse, integrating behavioural studies, and since 2013 I have specialised in canine rehabilitation and wellbeing, focusing on how kinetic therapy techniques can influence both physical and emotional health for the better.

CanineKinetics was founded on the principle that physical and emotional health are intrinsically connected; my’approach recognises that movement influences not only how a dog functions physically, but also how they feel, learn, communicate, and interact with the world around them. Through purposeful movement and sensory experiences, dogs can develop improved mobility, comfort, co-ordination, confidence and emotional regulation, whilst building a stronger connection and partnership with their humans. My aim is to help dogs achieve the physical and emotional foundations that support a comfortable, confident life, through every stage of life.

Continued professional development ensures I am able to offer the best possible care to your dog, all my advice and decisions are based on current, scientifically based research and evidence (as well as a  lifetime of experience!).  I have a particular interest in neurophysiology and neuropsychology, and how these are connected through the proprioceptive and myofascial systems.

I am proud to be an RCVS Registered Veterinary Nurse, Certified Canine Mobility Therapist, and member of several professional organisations including the International Association of Animal Therapists, the Institute of Registered Veterinary and Animal Physiotherapists (MT), and the International Institute for Canine Ethics.

Based in a peaceful farm setting CanineKinetics offers a quieter, more natural alternative to busy clinical or training environments. The calm consulting space, enclosed outdoor paddock, and natural enrichment area allow each dog to learn, adapt and move at their own pace in an environment designed around their individual needs.

I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon.

Helen
