PAWsitive MOVEment

Pawsitive Movement is a canine physiotherapy practice based in Bern, Switzerland, supporting family and sporting dogs with attentive, individually tailored care. Its approach puts each dog’s comfort, personality, history and everyday needs at the centre of treatment. Sessions begin with a conversation about the dog’s health and behaviour, followed by observation and assessment of movement, posture, tissue condition and responses. Treatment methods, intensity and pace are adapted to the dog, with time for them to settle and no pressure to proceed beyond their comfort.

The practice offers physiotherapy and rehabilitation support for concerns such as muscle tension, restricted mobility, changes in gait or movement, and recovery after training or competition. It also supports older dogs, active dogs preparing for physical demands, and dogs needing follow-up after veterinary assessment. Listed services include manual therapy, laser therapy, scar treatment and rehabilitation. Pawsitive Movement is operated by a practitioner currently training as a canine physiotherapist, who emphasizes transparent communication, respect for professional boundaries and clear explanations throughout the process.
