Who is Michelle Monk
Michelle Monk says, "I find my passion at the intersection between helping people and helping animals. As an Animal Physiotherapist, I am driven to assist pet owners to help their own dogs, through the provision of compassionate rehabilitation services, helping to strengthen the bond between owner and pet, whilst maximising quality and longevity of life."
Her qualifications
Michelle Monk began her physiotherapy career as a human physiotherapist after graduating from Melbourne's LaTrobe University. Having always had a passion for helping people to improve their mobility and a love for canine's she was disappointed to discover that her beloved four-legged friends didn't have access to the same level of physiotherapy. Michelle set about changing this after completing her Masters Degree in Animal Physiotherapy and went on to a post-graduate Diploma in Myofascial Trigger Point & Dry Needling and a certification in Remedial Massage.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT
Michelle Monk has had a lifelong dream of being able to provide quality canine therapy services to over 1,000,000 canines every year.
She has dedicated her life to this purpose by becoming a Canine Physiotherapist and then starting her own Canine Rehabilitation Clinic over seventeen years ago.
"All dogs deserve the same level of health care as we do" - Michelle Monk
Although Michelle and her clinic have helped hundreds of thousands of dogs live longer, happier, and healthier lives and she has literally saved thousands of dog's lives whose owners had been advised to euthanise, there's only so much that one person can do.
She can't do this alone!
