Canine Stretch & Flow didn’t start in a clinic — it started in the park.

​

We saw dogs moving stiffly on walks.
Dogs slowing down long before the walk was over.
Dogs avoiding sitting, struggling to stand, or lagging behind their owners.

And often, no physio appointment in sight.

Not because owners didn’t care — but because pain in dogs is easy to miss, easy to normalise, and hard to act on when life is busy.

​

When Help Is Sought — Progress Still Gets Lost

​

We also saw another familiar story.

Owners did take their dogs to physio.
They left encouraged, with exercises and clear goals.

But then:

​

• the dog wouldn’t cooperate at home

• exercises felt confusing or intimidating

• owners weren’t sure if they were doing it correctly

• progress slowed or stalled between appointments

​

So despite good intentions, consistency faded — and dogs paid the price.

​

Conditioning Without Guidance

​

At the same time, more owners wanted to “do something” for their dogs:

​

• strengthen them

• keep them active

• prevent injury

​

But without guidance, conditioning often looked like:

​

• copying exercises seen online

• rushing movements

• loading weak or painful joints

• training around discomfort instead of addressing it

​

Good intentions, again — but missing the foundation.

​

Why We Created Canine Stretch & Flow

​

Canine Stretch & Flow was created to sit in that space where most dogs fall through the cracks.

​

We exist to:

• support dogs who aren’t ready for physio — but need help

• maintain progress for dogs already in rehab

• prepare dogs safely for conditioning and sport

• teach owners how to move their dogs correctly and confidently

​

We don’t diagnose.
We don’t replace physiotherapists.
We don’t push dogs past their limits.

We guide, support, and educate.
