Hip Dysplasia

Hip Dysplasia in Dogs

Hip dysplasia is a developmental condition where the hip joint does not form properly, leading to instability, pain, and eventually arthritis. It can affect dogs of all sizes but is more commonly seen in larger breeds.

At OPTIMA Animal Physio, we help dogs with hip dysplasia across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast manage symptoms and maintain mobility through targeted physiotherapy and long-term management strategies.

Common signs

  • Difficulty standing or climbing stairs

  • Swaying gait or “bunny hopping”

  • Stiffness, especially after rest

  • Reduced willingness to exercise

How physiotherapy helps

Physiotherapy aims to improve joint stability, reduce pain, and strengthen the muscles supporting the hips. Treatment plans are tailored to each dog and may include strengthening exercises, mobility work, and pain-relieving therapies such as laser therapy.
