Physiotherapy is an established healthcare profession having been in existence for over 100 years. Animal physiotherapy has been recognised for over 25 years and now has formal professional qualification routes. Our training route means we are qualified to treat human patients first before we continue our further postgraduate study with animals. This means your animal is being assessed and treated by Chartered Physiotherapists who are governed by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. In addition we are also regulated by the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Animal Therapy – ACPAT. This is the gold standard for animal physiotherapy.
