Common Questions
Is this a veterinary diagnosis?
No — this wellness check is an educational tool to help you identify potential signs of discomfort. It is not a substitute for veterinary examination or diagnosis. If you're concerned about your animal, always consult your vet.
What should I do if my animal scores amber or red?
Whether this is an Online Gait Analysis, an in person vet or veterinary physiotherapy review — the results page will recommend an appropriate next step to get your animal the support they need.
Can I retake the assessment?
Absolutely. You can click "Start Again" at any time to reset and retake the assessment. It's a good idea to check in periodically, especially after surgery, injury, or as your animal ages.
How accurate is this tool?
The signs listed are evidence-based indicators drawn from veterinary physiotherapy, behavioural science, and multidisciplinary research. This tool is a screening aid, not a diagnostic — it helps you notice patterns that may warrant professional assessment. A hands-on evaluation is always the most reliable way to understand your animal's needs.
Do I need a vet referral to book physiotherapy?
For conditions involving pathology or a medical diagnosis, vet consent is legally required before physiotherapy can begin. For online gait analysis, no referral is needed — you can book directly. If you're unsure, contact Elevate and we'll advise.
