About Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists use a variety of land- and water-based
techniques to maintain and restore movement and body function.
Physiotherapy can be applied to patients following their treatment
or to dogs and cats who are overweight or geriatric. We offer
physiotherapy as an outpatient service as well as treating patients
in our clinic.
Our state-of-the-art equipment includes a computerised water
treadmill which allows exercise aided by buoyancy. Patients are
acclimatised slowly until they have gained confidence on the
treadmill which operates within a tank of warm water. Handson
physiotherapy techniques are used simultaneously and this
technique has been shown to speed up recuperation in patients
with a range of conditions.
We are also actively involved in training in this area and have
developed a post graduate course in small animal rehabilitation, in
conjunction with the University of Nottingham.
The Physiotherapy Team includes:

“The treatment and care you provided
has been second to none. I’m sure
that a lot of the improvement is due
to the fact that the treatment has
never been stressful.”
