What is a Veterinary
Physiotherapist?
- 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 is a Veterinary Physiotherapist (VP) and what do they do?
People often become confused when hearing the term due to the 'veterinary' prefix, but a VP is simply an animal-based physical therapist.
The role of a VP is to identify dysfunction within movement, or anatomical abnormalities (such as asymmetries within muscle, tendon, ligament and bone). A VP will also apply manual techniques to treat tissues that might be causing these abnormalities or utilise exercise prescription to build strength and aid the return of function.
- When should a Veterinary Physiotherapist be used?
