Physiotherapy
We use only ACPAT
Veterinary Physiotherapists at our practice, as we firmly
believe that only the highest trained and qualified
people should be involved in the treatment of your dog.
ACPAT members are fully qualified Chartered Physiotherapists
(MSCP's) who have also trained in physiotherapy and
rehabilitation for animals
The purpose of physiotherapy is to restore and maintain
mobility, function, independence and performance. Cases
often treated by veterinary physiotherapists are: spinal
problems, joint problems, injuries, neurological conditions,
sports injuries and post surgical rehabilitation.
Physiotherapy may include: manipulation, soft tissue
massage and mobilisation, electrotherapy (laser, TENS,
magnetic field therapy, neuromuscular stimulation, ultrasound
and more), myofascial release, trigger point therapy,
functional exercises and client education.

Your dog may have been referred to our physiotherapist
by your vet for physiotherapy, for a pre-hydrotherapy
assessment, for a post-hydrotherapy assessment, or all
of the above.
Treatment by our physiotherapist is often covered by
pet insurance.
