Veterinary Physiotherapy Services
Veterinary physiotherapy is a science based profession, which takes a holistic approach to each patient. Physiotherapy for animals is used alongside veterinary care to aid in the treatment and management of many musculoskeletal and neurological conditions.
It can assist rehabilitation of the animal, with the aims of reducing pain, improving movement, and restoring normal muscle control and function. Physiotherapy can also be used for performance development of the animal athlete, helping to try to minimise the risk of injury whilst maximising the performance of competitive or working animals.
Mobile and Clinic Appointments
I offer a mobile, home based service to allow pets to be treated in the comfort and surroundings of their own home at a time that suits them.
For those that prefer to come to me in a clinic setting, I offer a limited number of appointments based at Max & Min Veterinary Practice in Hertford.
