About Veterinary Physiotherapy

Veterinary physiotherapy is often used as part of an animal’s comprehensive health routine, alongside conventional medicine. Supported by scientific research, veterinary physiotherapy benefits a wide variety of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, including poor performance and pre- and post-surgery.

At AGVP, we provide veterinary physiotherapy treatments for horses, dogs and other small animals. Our clients include performance horses, working or agility dogs and beloved pets. Treatment can take place in the animal’s home environment, during competition, and at our canine clinic base in Warwickshire.

Treatment modalities include manual therapy such as massage, stretching, joint mobilisations, and myofascial release and electrotherapies. Our practice is well-equipped, and we utilise, hydrotherapy, LASER (class 3b and 4), therapeutic ultrasound, H-Wave, TENS, NMES, and PEMF.

Electrotherapies are key in supporting manual treatment and can be used to provide pain relief, assist with tissue repair, reduce swelling and aid neurological regeneration. Treatment plans and remedial exercise programmes are tailored to the individual patient ensuring practicality and achievability.

Benefits of using a veterinary physiotherapist

Veterinary physiotherapists are trained to provide specialist treatments for animals to aid pain management, minimise the risk of injury, improve mobility and flexibility, support injury recovery, and enhance performance.

Performance

For sports or working animals, being in top physical condition is essential to allowing them to reach their best athletic potential. 

We work with many elite sports horses and dogs to improve and maintain performance.

Preventative

Veterinary physiotherapy can enhance the animal's wellbeing and provide preventative care. 

All animals can benefit from the positive effects of massage and other therapeutic techniques.

Small changes can dramatically enhance range of motion and muscle tone; developing strength to help in the prevention of injury.

Recovery

Following injury or surgery, treatment by a veterinary physiotherapist can form an integral part of recovery, helping to reduce pain levels and introduce a return to functional activity. 

We work closely with referring veterinary surgeons to ensure a return to full function and normal activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any other questions or would like to discuss our treatment options, please contact us.
Do I need a referral from my vet?
If your animal is currently being treated by a vet for lameness or poor performance, veterinary consent is required. Veterinary consent is not required for maintenance or competition care if the animal is fit, sound and healthy.
Is veterinary physiotherapy covered by insurance?
Most insurance companies provide veterinary physiotherapy cover. We advise contacting your insurance provider before treatment to check what benefits are available, as some policies may vary.
What does a veterinary physiotherapy session involve?
Appointments generally last approximately one hour. This will include a thorough assessment of your animal, including watching how they move and palpating how they feel. Treatment is specific to each patient and may include manual therapy like massage and stretching and possibly use of electrotherapies.
Why use animal physiotherapy?
Throughout a lifetime, animals put a lot of stress and strain on their bodies. Although the body has a complex system to help it heal, many situations cause the healing time to be extended and sometimes mean that sadly it is unable to recover.

Physiotherapy works with the body to allow the best conditions in which it can restore a recovery. Alongside veterinary care, physiotherapy can treat long-term management of conditions effecting the musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and injuries.
What is veterinary physiotherapy?
As veterinary physiotherapists, we work alongside veterinary surgeons to help our patients recover from injury, improve mobility, reduce pain and prevent recurrence of injury.  The most frequent animals referred for physiotherapy are horses and dogs, and these could be companion or working animals, such as performance sports horses and gun dogs.

Veterinary physiotherapy is often used as part of an animal’s comprehensive health routine, alongside conventional veterinary medicine. Animal physiotherapy has many proven benefits for a wide variety of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, including poor performance and pre- and post-surgery.
