In-Home
Rehab & Recovery Sessions

In-person sessions in your home in Wellington, Wairarapa

& Hutt Valley.

Just like us, dogs can experience muscle tension, stiffness, and discomfort - especially as they age, recover from surgery, or lead an active lifestyle.

Canine massage therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that helps improve circulation, reduce pain, and promote relaxation, so your dog can move and feel their best.

Exercise rehabilitation is a gentle, targeted approach to help your dog recover from injury, surgery, or age-related mobility issues. It’s not just about exercise — it’s about using carefully designed movements to rebuild strength, improve mobility, and support your dog’s overall wellbeing. All exercises are tailored specifically to your dog’s condition, needs, and comfort level.

Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or simply in need of some TLC, our in-home massage and rehab services are tailored to support their unique journey. We focus on gentle, effective therapies that promote healing, mobility, and overall wellbeing.

Our Specialties

Injury Recovery - Targeted massage and exercise techniques to support healing and reduce discomfort from sprains, strains, and other injuries.
Surgery Rehabilitation - Post-operative care to enhance recovery, improve mobility, and prevent compensatory issues.
Arthritis Relief - Gentle massage & supportive exercises to alleviate stiffness, improve circulation, and enhance comfort for arthritic dogs.

In-Home Convenience

Initial Consultation
$120
90 minutes

Your dog’s recovery journey begins here. This first session includes a detailed health history, full gait and movement assessment, and a hands-on therapeutic session. You'll receive a personalised rehab or wellness plan, at-home exercise guidance, and plenty of time to ask questions.

60 Minute follow up session
$95

This full-length session allows plenty of time to assess and treat your dog.

Ideal for:

Dogs recovering from surgery or injury
Arthritic or senior dogs needing full-body support
Multiple areas of concern (e.g., hips and spine)
Active dogs needing regular maintenance and performance care

A 60-minute session gives us the time to fully evaluate your dog’s movement, address any problem areas, provide targeted hands-on therapy, and guide you through tailored at-home exercises.

45 Minute follow up session
$70

Perfect for dogs needing more than a quick check-in but not quite a full-body session. This option allows time for targeted therapy, progress reassessments, and updated exercises — ideal for those in ongoing rehab or maintenance care.

Tailored, focused, and just the right amount of time.

Dogs who are midway through recovery and don’t need as much manual therapy time
Smaller dogs who benefit from shorter sessions, but need more than just a quick check-in
Progressive rehab clients who’ve moved past the acute phase but still need some hands-on support + exercise guidance
Owners looking for a balance between budget and care

30 Minute follow up session
$50

Not every dog needs a full hour.

This shorter session is perfect for:

Dogs who only need targeted work on one area (e.g., hips, shoulders)
Nervous, senior, or smaller dogs who tire easily
Simple progress check-ins between longer rehab sessions
Maintenance massage for dogs who are already on a plan
Gentle mobility support for dogs who benefit from shorter, regular visits
Owners who are actively & consistently doing rehab exercises at home and just need expert check-ins or plan adjustments
