Common questions

 
Do I need a vet's referral for my animal to receive physiotherapy?

No, anyone involved in the animals care can refer for physiotherapy. Your vet however may be consulted in order to ensure that your animal receives the appropriate treatment.

Do you only treat performance animals?

No, all animals can benefit from physiotherapy. As your animal has muscles and bones they respond well to physiotherapy.

How long does treatment usually take?

This depends on the type of injury and age of the animal. Some injuries can be resolved in 1 - 2 treatments. Tendon, ligament and Neurological treatment can take longer.

A full assessment is required in order to determine the most appropriate treatment options.

Do you only treat horses and dogs?

Most of our referrals are for horses and dogs. However we have and do treat many other animals.
