WHY PHYSIOTHERAPY? 

Veterinary physiotherapists work under Veterinary referral, as part of a multidisciplinary team. With a holistic, whole body approach alongside tailored treatments such as manual therapies, electrotherapies and exercise prescription, physiotherapists not only work towards treating any current issues but are also able to help prevent issues arising in the future through targeted strengthening and conditioning. 

 

By using thorough assessments and evidence-based techniques, physiotherapy can benefit dogs and horses of all ages and activity levels - improving performance in canine and equine athletes, aiding in longevity and injury prevention, reducing pain and improving mobility in older animals and supporting post-surgical rehabilitation in a range of orthopaedic and neurological cases.
