For Vets

If you wish to learn more about veterinary physiotherapy and Furry Friends Physio, Carla has put together a presentation which takes about 1 hour, and can be presented at your practice, at a time that is convenient to you and your staff.

But why should you refer to Furry Friends Physio?

• We are a local practice which means less travel cost for your clients
•  We offer a flexible service to clients, including evening and weekend appointments to suit their needs
•  We can assess and treat the animals at their home address or local hydrotherapy pool for dogs
• We work alongside the local hydrotherapy pools, providing a complete rehabilitation service both in and out of the water, recommending hydrotherapy where applicable and overseeing treatment
• We employ Chartered Veterinary Physiotherapist(s) therefore you are working with health professionals who are highly trained and skilled, who work to Codes of Conduct and Standards, and participate in regular CPD
• Gives your practice the opportunity to offer a complete service from start to  finish, from initial consultation and diagnosis, through to surgery (where applicable) and rehabilitation
• Gives veterinary staff another avenue for treatment (e.g. for soft tissue injuries, paralysis)
• Allows you to optimise healing and recovery and therefore get the best outcome possible for your patients
• Gives your practice the image of being forward thinking by working with trained professionals in this new field of veterinary medicine
• Gives you new and interesting topics for CPD (Carla is more than happy to come and give a talk at your practice)
• A good source of information for veterinary nurses who are keen to expand their knowledge and skills in rehabilitation
• Can help optimise recovery and prevent secondary complications by showing nursing staff some basic physiotherapy techniques to use on in-patients (e.g. immediately post-op)
•  Physiotherapy treatment is often available to clients through their pet insurance
• Allows the practice to concentrate on what it does best, whilst Furry Friends Physio concentrates on the rehabilitation
• Allows you to keep an eye on the patient's progress via the physiotherapist, without having to see them too frequently
•  You will be provided with a report on discharge from physiotherapy treatment, and any other time it is required
• As health professionals, we only work within our scope of practice, and will refer back to the vet if any problems arise or if treatment is not yielding the expected results
• Furry Friends Physio would be happy to help advertise your practise on our website and could offer a reciprocal link between sites, if your practice has one
