Sentient Physiotherapy offers specialised treatment for both animals and people right here in South East Melbourne!
Working from my home clinic in Langwarrin, I provide specialised canine physiotherapy, to restore movement, relieve pain, and improve quality of life.
Equine physiotherapy is offered at your horse’s location, ensuring personalised, hands-on care in their own environment.

For our animal owners, we’re also lucky enough to offer physiotherapy and clinical exercise classes—helping you move well, feel strong, and stay active alongside your pets
About me
Hi there! I'm Heather Maxwell, the owner of Sentient Physiotherapy! I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Animal Science in the UK in 2013 and followed it up with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy in 2015. I then went on to specialise in Animal physiotherapy gaining a Postgraduate Diploma in Veterinary Physiotherapy in 2023!
For the past seven exciting years, I've worked in musculoskeletal practice, collaborating with an incredible range of clients—from football teams to everyday champions tackling those annoying aches and pains. Alongside this l have had the pleasure of assisting my wonderful animal, whether they're recovering from surgery, aging, or in need of preventative care. I'm truly passionate improving all lives through functional exercise.
As a lifelong horse rider and former FEI level eventing competitor in Great Britain, I still cherish every moment I get to ride. When I'm not riding, I'm having a blast with my two lovable kelpies, Ziggy and Audey!
