Helping Your Dog Heal from Iliopsoas Injury
Iliopsoas injuries are common — yet frequently misunderstood — and can have a significant impact on a dog’s comfort, movement, and confidence if not managed thoughtfully.
Helping Your Dog Heal from Iliopsoas Injury is an evidence-informed, owner-friendly resource designed to help dog owners better understand this complex muscle injury and feel more confident supporting their dog’s recovery.
This guide explains what an iliopsoas injury is, how it may present, and why appropriate management and pacing are essential for successful healing. Rather than overwhelming you with technical detail, it focuses on helping owners understand the recovery journey, recognise key considerations, and support safe, gradual progress over time.
Written in clear, practical language, this resource explores recovery principles, lifestyle considerations, and the importance of structure, patience, and a team-based approach to rehabilitation. It is suitable whether your dog is newly diagnosed, managing a recurring injury, or returning to activity following a period of rest.
This guide forms part of the Water Walkies Education Guides — a collection of evidence-informed resources created to support informed, confident care decisions for dogs at all life stages.
For dogs requiring additional support, this guide may be used alongside a professional assessment through our Integrated Wellness Pathway, or paired with Environmental Hacks for Your Dog’s Optimal Health and Recovery to support safe movement and recovery at home.
