Working with Dr Livia

Each consultation begins with a detailed assessment to help identify the underlying cause of your animal’s problem. This includes evaluating posture, gait, and overall movement to gain a clear understanding of how your animal is using their body and where compensations may be occurring.

From there, treatment can begin straight away and may include a combination of modalities such as acupuncture, cold laser therapy, biomechanical medicine (including chiropractic and osteopathic techniques), soft tissue work, and tailored rehabilitation exercises.

The goal is to establish an individualised and evidence-informed management plan focused on improving comfort, mobility, and functional performance.
