Physiotherapy is a science based profession. Chartered veterinary
physiotherapists are experts in rehabilitation and are trained to optimise recovery in animal patients suffering
from injury or disease. The use of exercsie therapy is a large part of the rehabilitation process and can be used in conjunction
with manual therapy such as mobilisation of joints and soft tissue. Electrotherapy,including laser, TENS or electrical muscle stimulation
is sometimes indicated depending on the condition.
All assessments and treatments must be authorised by your vet so please discuss physiotherapy for your pet with
your vet first. Contact Sarah directly to discuss a referral or alternatively you can download a referral form to take for
your vet to complete.
