Strong and Steady Canines
Helping senior and arthritic dogs move better and live longer with exercise therapy.
Arthritis doesn’t just damage joints. It steals strength.
When it comes to arthritis, we often throw everything at it but the kitchen sink. Supplements. Injections. Gadgets. Special beds.
But the most powerful tool is strengthening.
Exercise therapy is simple, safe, affordable, and effective. Strong muscles support painful joints. Strong muscles improve stability. Strong muscles help your dog stay independent for longer.

Want to start your dog on an exercise program?
Canine Arthritis Treatment Plan - $130
Because arthritis needs more than one approach, I make sure the important pieces are covered – from exercise and pain support to daily management – in a way that fits your dog, your budget, and your life.
No overwhelm. No trial-and-error spending. Just guidance toward evidence-based treatments that actually help.
The Hip Arthritis Home Program - $59
An 8-week program designed to help dogs with hip arthritis, knee arthritis, or rear leg weakness move more comfortably and build strength.
Targeted, progressive exercises improve joint movement and strengthen the muscles that support your dog’s back legs - helping them move better and stay independent for longer.
You only need 10 minutes a day to make a meaningful difference to your dog’s quality of life.

About Kylie - Physio and dog mum
Hello!
I’m Kylie Marks, a physiotherapist with over 17 years of experience helping both people and dogs move better.
My work focuses on something many pet parents don’t realise - when dogs slow down, it’s often not just age. It’s weakness.
Arthritis, injuries, and inactivity can cause muscles to switch off and lose strength. When that happens, everyday things like getting up from the floor, climbing stairs, or going for walks become harder.
But strength can be rebuilt.
Through simple, targeted exercise therapy, dogs can regain stability, confidence, and mobility. Even just 5–10 minutes a day can make a meaningful difference.
Over the years I’ve helped many dogs improve their movement and quality of life using structured home exercise programs that are safe, practical, and easy for pet parents to follow.
I created my programs and resources to make physiotherapy guidance accessible to more families - especially those who may not have access to in-person rehabilitation services.
Because when dogs stay strong, they stay independent for longer.
And that means more good days together!
My Why
Like many pet parents, my dogs mean the world to me!
It started after Kiba's hip injury in 2017. Then we adopted Freja who was 5 at the time.
Kiba has since crossed the rainbow bridge due to cancer, but Freja is 13 years old, she still jumps onto the bed and into the car on her own.
