Physiotherapy for horses, dogs and other small animals
I qualified as a human chartered physiotherapist from Teesside University in 2002 and went onto train as a Veterinary Physiotherapist at the Royal Veterinary College, London, qualifying in 2006. I treated both people and animals until last year when I decided to concentrate on animal rehabilitation. Animals really benefit from physiotherapy treatment, which involves lots of hands on massage and soft tissue tecniques, stretches, rehab exercises and techniques. All owners are taught and given an individual rehab programme and advised on environment, management and exercise. I treat animals with arthritis and age related concerns, dogs after orthopaedic and neurological surgeries and injuries. Horses with stiffness and muscular pain, poor performance to name a few. I work closely with vets in and around North Yorkshire and the NorthEast running clinics for vets in Cramlington and Darlington and have treatment facilities for horses and small animals in Welbury, near Northallerton. I also do home and yard visits.
