Animal Therapy

Here at Koru Wellness, we care about your whole family - including your beloved equine and canine members. With this in mind, we offer therapeutic animal treatments to help support your animals to live their best lives.

What we offer 

Just like us, animals can suffer from musculoskeletal problems, but they can’t tell us when they have pain. This can be seen as lameness, stiffness, changes in behaviour or a reluctance to do the things they usually enjoy. 

Animal therapy treatments can help to relieve some of these symptoms. We use hands on techniques to assess and treat our four-legged friends.

    Both Virginia and Susanna are completing further study in Animal Osteopathy in their chosen fields. For Virginia, this is a Diploma in Equine Osteopathy - and for Susanna, a Diploma in Canine Osteopathy. These are two-year courses that require traveling to the United Kingdom as part of their studies. Talk about committed!
