Muffin is Walking Again!

mile walk and he jumps a ditch that I can’t”

“My buffalo can’t walk, and the vet has tried everything and says it may be time to put her down.” After a chiropractic treatment, she was up and walking again.
 

Back In The Show Ring
This 2 year-old yellow Labrador had a promising Show career and at Crufts. Then he had an accident that nearly stopped his career dead in its tracks. “I have now got him back in the Show Ring – I’m so impressed – I didn’t think I ever would. Vav’s combination of Chiropractic, Homeopathy and Hydrotherapy has worked wonders!”
 

Over the Moon
This little rabbit’s back was twisted, leaving his back legs just dragging along the ground. Chiropractic treatment and homeopathy had him hopping about at full power again.
 

Afraid of Water No More!

knee and prevented the need for operating on the other side!
 

From ‘No Hope’ to Winning!

Life's a Canter for Trampus
At the age of 40, he is thought to be the Island's oldest working horse. Equivalent in age to a 120-year-old human, he still goes on hacks three to four times a week thanks to regular chiropractic and massage treatment. Congratulations - he's in the papers!
 

A Brazilian Tapir's Bathroom Accident
Falling out of the bath hurt Nel's back, leaving her unable to walk. Usually thick-skinned and placid, she was still poorly months later. Chiropractic did the trick and sorted her out!

Miracle Achieved, 100%!
Scrumpy had lost her back legs, stopped walking, peeing and pooing, and was hiding in the wardrobe. The vet asked Vav for some of her magic, and she duly obliged!

 

“We Nearly Put Him Down Only Two Months Ago!”
Max had become wobbly behind, and his back legs wouldn’t work properly. Terrified of strangers, he wouldn’t let Vav get near him, so she had to play psychological games. But it worked and after three treatments, his owners said “He’s back to normal!”

Mending Mabel
Sophie worried about her guinea-pig for months. Mabel didn’t want to eat, was very unhappy and had lost interest in life. Horner's Syndrome was responsible - extreme neck misalignments - but chiropractic reversed it successfully.

Getting the Measure of Tapeworm
Mysterious bouts of colic continued until Vav recommended a herbal wormer.

Star of the Month

 

To let everyone share in our excitement in their improvement, we thought we would highlight some animals’ great progress.

 

We hope this is reassuring for people who may have heard a bit about complementary therapies, but are not sure about trying it for their animals.

 

Please Note:
Our Hydrotherapy facility is now closed for commercial reasons. We are pleased our Stars  show how beneficial professional hydrotherapy services can be.
