Physiotherapy Service

Our Physiotherapist Steph is qualified with a BSc(Hons) in Veterinary Physiotherapy and is registered with the National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists.

Steph has been associated with the practice for several years, working alongside the hospital and branch surgeries. She has extensive experience working in the field of canine physiotherapy and can offer various therapies tailored specifically to meet your pet’s individual needs.

Your veterinary surgeon will provide Steph with all of the necessary information to ensure the best possible treatment is given.

Benefits of Physiotherapy 

Our pets can experience similar problems to humans, but unfortunately, they are not able to tell us where the pain is or if they have injured themselves. We always aim to give your pet the best possible care and we believe that Physiotherapy can help ease pain and discomfort from a range of common conditions and can also aid post-operative care.

Treatment services include manual therapies such as massage and stretching, remedial exercise prescription to suit the rehabilitation or fitness requirements of your pet and electrotherapies including neuromuscular stimulation and pulsed magnetic field.

Common conditions treated include:

• Osteoarthritis
• Luxating Patella
• Cruciate Injuries
• Ligament & Tendon Injuries
• Hip & Elbow Dysplasia
• Muscle Imbalances
• Gait Abnormalities
• Neurological Conditions
• Fitness Improvements
• Weight Loss
• Spinal Injuries
• Decreased Mobility
• Pain Management
• Post-Operative Recovery

Making an appointment

If you think your pet may benefit from a Physiotherapy consultation, please speak to your vet to find out if treatment would be appropriate. They will then be able to refer you for an appointment and treatment plan.

In order to have an initial appointment with Steph, she would need a full clinical history and referral form sent by the referring vet.

If you would like further information, Steph can be found at the hospital on a Tuesday, Thursday and Friday on 01902 425262, and will be happy to have a chat. Alternatively, enquiries can be sent to physio@stgeorgesvets.co.uk.
