Is this course for me?
The aim of this course is to give you an introduction into the world of Animal Physiotherapy and rehabilitation, to inform on the legalities surrounding the profession and to give an understanding of how Physio can help your patients.
If you run older pet or OA Nursing Clinics in practice, then this course is perfect to catapult your understanding, knowledge and the services you can offer to patients.
As the profession becomes more widely accepted and the demand higher the veterinary clinic is the best place to start implementing rehabilitation and our aim is to help you do this and hopefully inspire you to go on and become a qualified Animal Physiotherapist.
As Veterinary nurses or Vet’s we are in the best position to implement rehabilitation plans. With any injury or disease, it’s not simply about medicating or treating that one area, there is often a greater impact on the body as a whole, and as Animal Physiotherapists, it’s our job to ensure we rebalance the animal to prevent compensatory issues arising.
This is done through pain management, strengthening and improving flexibility.
We also have the best position to educate owners on diseases such as Osteoarthritis where a multimodal approach is very much needed to achieve the best results.
