Patient Stories
Jett
(Cruciate)
We can’t thank Carmel and Nik enough for the therapy they continue to provide to our Alaskan Klee Kai, Jett. He’s been a patient at the Mosman Park treatment room for over six months, after he ruptured his cruciate ligament and underwent TPLO surgery….
Archie
(Brachial Plexus injury)
Unfortunately for dear little Archie, the first two years of his life were not ideal, to say the least. He was neglected and mistreated. At 2 and a half, he was surrendered to a dog shelter and the very next day he escaped and was lost in the bush for 3 weeks….scared and alone, in very wet and wintery conditions.

He progressively lost all movement in his limbs and could only move his head. He was a 65kg big boy so this was terrifying and hard to understand considering no ‘incident’ had occurred.
