The Lion Clinic, led by Charlotte Barton, is featured in Dogs Today magazine, highlighting her vital work as a physiotherapist for Jack’s Giant Journey, a charity supporting rescued and fostered dogs. Charlotte, a qualified and highly experienced physiotherapist, is dedicated to helping dogs regain mobility and improve their quality of life.

The article focuses on Jet, a spirited spaniel with non-ambulatory paraparesis, a condition affecting his ability to walk. While Jet cannot yet stand or control urination fully, he has some sensation and voluntary movement in his back legs. Jet’s rehabilitation journey involves various physiotherapy techniques, including manual therapy, massage, laser therapy, muscle stimulation, balance training, and a home exercise program.

The goal of Jet’s therapy is to strengthen his muscles, improve coordination, and eventually achieve spinal walking. For now, Jet happily shuffles around and will soon be fitted with wheels to enhance his independence and quality of life, allowing him to explore and enjoy outdoor activities while continuing his recovery.
