What is veterinary physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy can benefit horses and dogs at every life stage, from young and growing animals to seniors, and from family pets to competition and working animals. It is often used to support recovery, maintain mobility, and help animals feel and move more comfortably.

Every visit occurs at your home or yard and begins with a full assessment of how your animal moves and functions. Abbie then uses a range of hands on techniques alongside tailored exercises, taking a holistic, whole animal approach.

You may be shown case-specific exercises to continue between visits, to support your animal's progress.

 Veterinary physiotherapy for a known condition is carried out strictly under veterinary referral, before any treatment begins your vets consent is required. Maintenance visits do not legally require veterinary consent; However, in some cases Abbie may decide veterinary consent is preferable, this will be considered on a case by case basis and will be discussed with the owner prior to any veterinary communication. Please note physiotherapists can not diagnose conditions.
