Each member brings a wealth of experience and expertise, ensuring that all our patients receive the highest standard of care. Every team member plays a vital role in delivering personalised treatment plans, tailored to the specific needs of your pet and continuously strive to maintain a collaborative and compassionate environment, fostering a strong bond with both clients and their beloved companions. Our team specialise in small animal rehabilitation but also treat sporting dogs aiming to enhance performance.
We offer a comprehensive animal physiotherapy service with our therapists being fully insured and registered, ensuring safety and knowledge throughout your pets treatments. Appointments are based at our clinic in Treeton, Rotherham. Mobile physiotherapy appointments are available on request, subject to availability
Please note: Veterinary physiotherapists are not trained in veterinary medicine, just as veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses are not trained in veterinary physiotherapy. Veterinary physiotherapists are paraprofessionals working in the veterinary industry. We operate a referral based service which compliments treatments provided by veterinary surgeons and aims to improve animal welfare and quality of life.
We are proud to be trusted by veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and owners alike to provide up to date and effective physiotherapy programs.
