Physiotherapy is available for horses, dogs and other animals upon request. 

​

I am a Chartered Physiotherapist registered with ACPAT Cat A. This means that I have completed 3 years of training to become a human Physiotherapist, worked for a few years to gain experience, and then completed a 2 year PGDip in Veterinary Physiotherapy which I am continuing to gain a full Masters.

​
