Strength, Endurance & Recovery for Working Dogs

Working dogs experience long periods of repetitive movement over uneven terrain. Physiotherapy supports injury prevention, stamina and recovery.

​

Common focus areas:

• Back, hips and shoulders

• Endurance-related muscle fatigue

• Age-related stiffness

 

Gundog-specific exercises may include:

• Sit-to-stand and controlled transitions

• Strengthening for hill work and terrain changes

• Flexibility exercises to support long working days

• Recovery therapies following intense workloads
