Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is made up of several techniques that assist and promote the body's natural healing mechanisms and improve quality of life. Each consultation is based around a thorough assessment of gait, demeanour and physical condition after taking a thorough history.

Rehabilitation programmes can be developed for you to work towards returning the animal to normal function or an improvement in quality of life with exercise programmes to be carried out in between sessions. Physiotherapy isn't just for dogs and horses! Please feel free to contact Jess regarding your pet or livestock. Jess has extensive experience handling and managing many species during their rehabilitation from injury and illness. |
