About Sarah and The Pet Physio
At The Pet Physio, we're passionate about helping pets move comfortably, recover fully and enjoy life to the fullest, while making sure their owners feel informed, confident and supported every step of the way.
Sarah Sojka has always had a deep love for animals, and for a long time she dreamed of becoming a vet. That changed when her family dog suddenly lost the ability to walk. Watching physiotherapy help him regain his mobility was life-changing, and it set Sarah on a new path: one where she could combine her care for animals with her physiotherapy expertise.
Sarah graduated as a human physiotherapist from Monash University in 2011 and spent several years working in the public health system before turning her focus to animal rehabilitation. Since 2015, she has dedicated her career to veterinary physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, working across several rehabilitation clinics before starting The Pet Physio. She holds a Master's in Veterinary Physiotherapy from the University of Liverpool, a three-year program that included advanced coursework and a research dissertation, and she now helps teach the next generation of veterinary physiotherapy students.
Dogs make up most of Sarah's caseload, but she loves treating animals of all shapes and sizes, including cats and rabbits. At home, she shares her life with Sox, her 10-year-old rescue Greyhound, having grown up surrounded by Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Jack Russells and Fox Terriers.
Sarah has extensive experience supporting pets through a wide range of conditions and surgeries, including:
- TPLO and other cruciate surgeries
- Medial patella luxation (surgical and conservative management)
- Hip and elbow dysplasia (surgical and conservative management)
- Spinal surgery and neurological conditions such as degenerative myelopathy
- Arthritis management and senior mobility care
- Sporting and agility dogs with performance or injury needs
- Wheelchair and mobility aid assessment and fitting
- Soft brace fitting and prescription
If you're looking for expert rehabilitation with a warm, personal touch, you're in the right place. Sarah looks forward to helping your furry family member move, heal and thrive.
