Physiotherapy is the means to treat and rehabilitate patients that are suffering and/or recovering from illness, disease, injury or surgery. It is a holistic therapy that not only aims to physically treat the underlying cause but also manage the problem by taking into account the animal's behaviour, environment and lifestyle.

The broad aims of physiotherapy are to reduce both acute and chronic pain, regain full fitness after injury or surgery, prevent reoccurrence of damage, improve mobility as well as range of motion and optimise performance in working animals. Physiotherapy is also a good way of enhancing your bond with your pet.

A vet must refer every animal whether it is for medical or fitness reasons. The first assessment of the patient will include going over a full history of the animal as well as observing the current physical ability.

Communication with your vet will continue throughout the treatment and any liaisons with other professionals, such as behaviourists, farriers, and trainers, will be discussed with you.

Owners can expect to receive individual attention, specialist expertise and suitable management guidance throughout the course of the treatment and can always contact us with regards to any questions.

Visits can take place at home, at our premises or at your stables. We can also provide in-patient facilities should it be required.
