Dr. Raceeta has a passion for helping pets with mobility issues, and she most enjoys performing manual therapy (using her hands to combine various techniques adapted from the human health fields of massage, chiropractic, acupressure, and physiotherapy) to help pets at any stage of life move better. From puppies who are developing and learning how to use their bodies, to seniors who are slowing down, canine athletes who need to stay in shape, and any injury or degenerative mobility issue in between, she can help pets reach their peak physical condition at any age.
