Fisioterapia canina

Ellen Mitschke - human & dog physiotherapist

After having worked for nearly 18 years in human physiotherapy, gaining expertise in not only Germany, but Switzerland, Australia, Russia, and since 2005 in Spain, I have decided to dedicate my therapeutic experience and my passion for animals to dogs.

I began to get involved in dog physiotherapy when I had the opportunity to help treat a friend's dog who was suffering from severe hip dysplasia, but also because of my whish to keep my own dog, Luna, physically and mentally happy and healthy.

So I became a qualified dog physiotherapist in Linkenheim (Germany). The studies involved anatomy, physiology, pathology, dog behaviour and physiotherapy methods and techniques. The exams were taken by a commission of vets and dog physiotherapists.
