leopuppy04 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Does anybody know of a good Physio in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne? I know there is one at Myuna Farm, but that is around 40 - 50mins away from me, and I am away from Thur onwards... so I'd like to get Leo seen ASAP.... Any suggestions would be most appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Georgia from Optimal Chiropractic travels to your home - she's brilliant and very, very gentle (lots of massage). I know you asked for a physio but she has worked wonders with young Ziggy who throws himself around like a typical mad Dally. After a treatment with Georgia he sleeps like a baby for several hours and then is bouncing out of his skin Ring her on her mobile Edited October 13, 2008 by The Spotted Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I 'think' that the vet at Montrose does muscle type therapies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks TSD - I wanted to steer away from the chiro (our previous treatment) as I wanted something with more massage.... What's the price I would be looking at with her?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks TSD - I wanted to steer away from the chiro (our previous treatment) as I wanted something with more massage.... What's the price I would be looking at with her?! I can't remember if there is an initial consult fee? But I *think* I pay around $55 a session - I just hand over the credit card whilst we have a coffee Seriously, she is worth every cent and I have her out to see Zig around monthly at the moment. When he is really sore, she will do a couple of short massage treatments and then let him run around and have a shake and a play. By the third treatment he's stopped wriggling and starts to fall asleep - she does a couple of adjustments (that Zig doesn't notice at all) and it's all over. I was a real sceptic to begin with too - Georgia is a human qualified chiro and has also got formal training in animal chiro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 She sounds fantastic - I might give her a call and see if she can squeeze Leo in... does she do AH or only BH?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 She's pretty flex - when I was doing my research she said she would come out and see Ziggy in the evening if necessary. Give her a call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tess32 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Georgia is good for basic chiro and massage, but she completely missed, over a number of sessions - that Noah's shoulder was out, back was out, leg injury and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 What a shame, Tess32 - must have been very disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tess32 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yeah was a bit, heh....had to take him to Barry Haywood who found the issues and now he's doing rehab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think they do accupunture at Montrose. Bowen is really good too if you can find someone to do that. I had my horse Bowen person do some on a dog once and it was pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyWild Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've recently moved out to Croydon, still setting up the house at the moment but happy to see people if they can deal with some mess. I do mobile treatments as well though. (I need to update my website). I offer massage, bowen and other musculo-skeletal techniques. Also in the process of trying to develop a technique for owners to regularly do to provide long term corrections. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InspectorRex Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Dr Barry Haywood in Cranbourne South is excellent and he loves the dogs too. The only others I would take my dogs to are Monash Vet Clinic( Dr's Ray Ferguson or Mark Foley) in Clayton or Dr Kate Haines in Morwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmolo Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 LP- thanks for this thread- it reminded me to find a bowen therapist for Dexter. Naturally wild is coming to see him monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) Let me know how it goes Cosmolo :p IHF - yeah he's fine now . I took him to a trial on Sunday and after crying about how bad it went, I watched his vid and you can see he's quite sore. As expected he had pulled a hammy. Georgia did a fantastic job ( TSD!) and did LOTS of massage to make sure everything went smoothly. I was very impressed Edited October 16, 2008 by leopuppy04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
