What are the benefits of Physical Therapy?
*Decreased pain *Reduced healing time *Increased performance *Non-invasive *Decreased
need for (some) medications *Increased knowledge of the disorder (for the owner, not the
animal!) *ETC ETC
How do I become a Physical Therapist?
A Physical Therapist is a licensed professional who has completed studies (now at a doctorate
for entry-level!) at a designated, accredited university for Physical Therapy and has taken the
board exam in his/her respective state. Please visit www.apta.org & I encourage you to contact
them regarding your support of therapy for animals
How do I do what YOU do? What courses do I
take? What kind of business & equipment should I
have?
Please respect that I get hundreds of requests for (non-treatment appointments) business and
education information a month!! There are plenty of "do's", "don'ts", and specifics that I would
be happy to address, on an individual basis, at my hourly rate-No exceptions!!
I have a 5-year old retriever who has....what
should I do?
It is next to impossible to evaluate an animal over the net or the phone. I only do specific
treatment recommendations in person. Anything less would be a disservice to the horse or
dog! Not to mention unethical...
How do I set up an appointment?
Either e-mail or call with the basic description of your animal's problem(s) and we'll take it from
there!
Do I need to talk to my veterinarian about this?
You should!! If you don't, I will! Remember that rehabilitation is not a substitute for primary
veterinary care! If the therapy is not being done AT your vet's office/clinic, he/she will have a
copy of the animal's program and supervise the plan of care.
If this is for Sports Massage, contact me for details.
