Poppy
Physiotherapy Assistant, Chief Morale Officer
Poppy is AC Physiotherapy’s resident clinic dog and unofficial Physiotherapy Assistant. A mini-Goldendoodle with a passion for people, snacks, and supervising from the most comfortable seat in the room, she takes her role in patient care very seriously.
Since joining the AC Physiotherapy team, Poppy has developed a special interest in emotional support, morale boosting, and making sure nobody goes too long without taking a break. Her treatment philosophy is simple: move often, rest when needed, and always reward good behaviour with a treat.
Poppy’s clinical duties include greeting patients, supervising exercises, providing encouragement during rehab, and occasionally demonstrating the importance of a good stretch. While she has yet to complete her physiotherapy degree, she makes up for her limited clinical credentials with enthusiasm, excellent bedside manner, and an unwavering commitment to patient happiness.
Outside of the clinic, Poppy enjoys going for walks, exploring new places, playing, napping, and following Anthony around to make sure nothing exciting happens without her. She is also an avid believer in recovery days and has personally mastered the art of sleeping after a busy day at the office.
