Move better. Live stronger. Start at Core

Murphy is Dr. John's Golden Retriever. As a puppy, she went through a long line of classes so she could become a therapy dog, and she does an amazing job at making people feel better before they even get adjusted! Murphy is 8 years old and has a very calm easy going demeanor which pairs up perfect for Core's office.

Therapy dogs are known for their ability to reduce stress, ease anxiety, and lift spirits—whether you’re here for care after an injury or simply trying to move and feel better. Just a few minutes spent with a therapy dog can promote relaxation, help regulate emotions, and create a more positive, welcoming environment during your visit.

Perfect for patients of all ages, Murphy brings a gentle kind of support that complements our hands-on care. Whether you’re a nervous first-timer, a student athlete under stress, or a parent just needing a moment of calm, Murphy is here to help!
