We are really proud that Veterinary Rehabilitation Services was founded within our practice by Dr Yoko Clinch who became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute in 2017, and in 2022, achieved membership to the Australian & New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in Veterinary Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation by examination. We are even prouder to say that this service has grown so much, that the team have moved to a new, purpose-built facility in Myaree: 4/35 McCoy St has been their new home since April 2026. Their updated contact details are below. Dr Yoko also continues to consult as a general practice veterinary member of our team through Roleystone Animal Hospital.
Dr Yoko is able to diagnose disorders of mobility and function based on veterinary anatomical and neurologic knowledge, soft tissue palpation as well as advance imaging (as indicated).
Rehabilitation Therapists treat these disorders using human physiotherapy treatment principles, tested and adapted to suit canine and feline patients. They therefore use various modalities like laser and TENS/EMS, as well as soft tissue therapies (myofascial trigger point release, massage, and joint mobilisations) and therapeutic exercises based on tissue healing rates. The approach to each patient is unique to their needs and collaborative with you, the owner, and your vet.
The Veterinary Rehabilitation Services team is dedicated to improving your pet's mobility and quality of life by providing evidence based treatments. They are the first Veterinary Hospital in Western Australia to have internationally recognised qualifications for both a veterinarian who is a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist and a vet nurse who is a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Veterinary Nurse. In addition, our registered vet nurses are Low Stress Handling(TM) Certified.
Their Certified Canine Rehabilitation team can also fit and recommend appropriate assistive devices including harnesses, carts, orthotics and prosthetics. They fit, sell and hire Walkin’ Wheels Wheelchairs, and also stock a range of Help Em Up Harnesses which are not only extremely durable and very comfortable for your pet to wear and be lifted in, but also can really help reduce the strain on your back too!
Please contact one of the Veterinary Rehabilitation Services team members to book your pet in for a mobility/comfort assessment at their new home in Myaree.
