Physiotherapy is widely recognised
in human medicine as being effective in the treatment
and rehabilitation of soft tissue injuries, arthritis,
neck and back pain and following fractures or surgery.
Qualified animal physiotherapists are registered
human physiotherapists who have undergone further
study to enable them to transfer their skills
in assessment and treatment to animals.
The aims of physiotherapy are to aid the animals
healing capacity by reducing pain and inflammation,
improving joint range of motion and muscle strength,
thereby restoring movement, function and quality
of life.
