SUCCESS STORIES



“Ariel was referred to Dr. Suzanne Starr by our regular vet for rehabilitation of her left knee after ACL surgery. Ariel still had a very pronounced limp, was quite limited in mobility, and uncomfortable. She was a young and energetic 10 year old.  At the time we were hoping to improve her quality of life. She loves going into Paws.  She always enjoys her massages, acupuncture, and time in the underwater treadmill. During the course of her treatment Dr. Starr felt that Ariel had a problem with her right hip. Working in tandem with our vet, x-rays were done which confirmed severe arthritis.  Through weekly visits to Paws in Motion along with tailored home exercises, Ariel recovered far better than we thought possible.  The benefits of working with highly trained and specialized vet was again clear to us and has helped Ariel tremendously. Dr. Starr & her staff have been wonderfully compassionate and supportive of not only Ariel but her “Mom & Dad” as well...we highly recommend Paws in Motion to anyone with special needs pet!” –Elizabeth “Cookie” from Wellesley





"When Rosie first came to Paws in Motion, she could not walk and had to be carried everywhere. Several months earlier she was diagnosed with 2 disc protrusions in her neck. My only options left were euthanasia or surgery. Considering that she was 13-1/2 years old, it was a grueling, agonizing decision. I reluctantly opted for the surgery and still was never absolutely sure I made the right decision. We had a great surgeon and the surgery went well and the surgeon recommended hydro therapy at Paws in Motion. After several treatments at Paws in Motion, Rosie slowly improved. After a month of treatments with some home care, with some assistance, she started to walk. After two months of treatment, Rosie was totally independent and could walk and do everything on her own. Rosie could never have had this great success if it weren't for the expertise and consideration of Suzanne Starr and the carefully, thought out program that was designed for her. Because of this, Rosie will live the rest of her life pain-free. Now, I am sure that I made the right decision regarding the surgery."

"After Storm was diagnosed with a back problem 2 years ago we started sessions at Paws In Motion.  The combination of hydrotherapy and acupuncture has really helped his back legs.  I believe that Storm's daily functioning and quality of life has vastly improved with his therapy.  I recommend it." - Mike Morrow



"Buck has Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), a degenerative neurologic disease. Massage, therapeutic exercise, and hydrotherapy(underwater treadmill) at Paws In Motion have made a tremendous positive impact on his overall health and well being. I truly believe that these therapies have helped to slow the effects of the disease and have significantly improved his quality of life." - Rose Eastman



"Brandi had knee surgery and her recovery was slow and she didn't want to use her leg. When she first started at Paws in Motion, she came in limping and experienced a lot of days where she was very uncomfortable.. After three months of physical therapy and a few acupuncture treatments, she is walking and running fine.   By nature, Brandi is a very shy and timid dog.  The staff took extra time to get her to know her and make her feel comfortable in an environment which was very scary to Brandi.  At all times, the staff was very professional, patience, compassionate and caring to Brandi.
