Veterinary Physiotherapy
The term ‘physiotherapy’ describes the treatment of injury or disease, or enhancement in performance, by physical means.
All physiotherapists work under veterinary referral, which is given by The Veterinary Surgery (Exemptions) Order 2015 (SI2015/772) in the Veterinary Surgeons Act (1966). This means all physiotherapists require a veterinary referral before seeing an animal.
You can ask your vet for a referral, or contact your physiotherapist first to get more information about physiotherapy, however your physiotherapist can only see your animal once they have received the referral.
What physiotherapy can do:
-
Assess animals to determine areas of pain or loss of function.
-
Use varying modalities and techniques to reduce pain, re-educate gait and restore function.
-
Enhance performance in elite animals.
-
Provide you with appropriate exercise and treatment programmes to get the best out of your animal.
