What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is the restoration of 'normal movement' whether it be human or animal. Effective and efficient movement patterns are key to successfully achieving goals, no matter how large or small, and allows maximum comfort in the process. Physiotherapy is designed to assess and locate these movement dysfunctions taking into account the whole body.

Holistically approaching each individual and working with all members of the team from vets to trainers, physiotherapy can then use a huge range of treatment techniques, not just isolated to one or two, which is absolutely key to achieving the best for you and your animal.

Why Polgreen Physiotherapy?

The physiotherapists working at Polgreen Physiotherapy all trained to the highest level, starting out as Chartered Physiotherapists (BSc Hons: MCSP) training for three years as human physiotherapists. This has meant having an advanced skills set and ability to clinically reason, making us the leading therapists in the National Health Service.

We then went onto to specialise in animals through post graduate training at Masters (MSc) level/level 7 at Hartpury University Centre, one of only two universities to offer this degree. This route is paramount with animals due to the lack of verbal feedback and usually a complex presenting picture.

We always establish the cause through detailed analysis which allows us to achieve short and long term changes. With six years of university training and continued on going training and development having this level of Veterinary Physiotherapist means you will always get the highest level of care available.
