Physiotherapy is beneficial for all animals, whether they are pets, field ornaments or competition animals.

​The most common reason for physiotherapy is after surgery or injury for rehabilitation purposes.

​However, noticing changes in your animals behaviour, a reduction in performance or increased stiffness are signs that physiotherapy may be beneficial.

Most insurance companies provide cover for physiotherapy. However, we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly for more information, as polices do vary.

You do not need veterinary referral for your animal to receive physiotherapy. However, consent for physiotherapy from a veterinary surgeon for animals with a pre-existing condition is required under the Veterinary Surgeons Act of 1996 and the Veterinary Surgery Exemptions Order of 2015.

New regulations sate that physiotherapy for musculoskeletal maintenance of a healthy animal, with no diagnosed pathologies does not legally require consent from a veterinary surgeon. However, to ensure transparency of treatment we require consent from a veterinary surgeon for the treatment of all clients.

For dogs, please ensure they are as clean and dry as possible. With somewhere comfortable to lie down and where distractions are minimal.

​

For horses, please ensure they are as clean and dry as possible. With somewhere suitable to be walked and trotted up and treated.
