How to arrange treatment

1. Information for owners:

If you want to arrange physiotherapy treatment for your animal you can either:

  • Contact Brian by phone (07960 091698), fax (01895 274150) or e-mail caninephysio@yahoo.co.uk to discuss whether physiotherapy would be appropriate in your particular case.

Legally, Brian will need to contact your vet to get permission before proceeding. This also provides a useful opportunity to discuss any other matters regarding your animal, which he should be aware of. Once this has been done, a mutually convenient date/time can be arranged with you for the initial assessment/treatment.

  • Speak with your vet who can then send a referral or speak with Brian directly by phone. If your vet has had no prior involvement with veterinary physiotherapy, why not take along a copy of the leaflet (click on "Forms / Leaflets").
Insurance: Most insurance companies provide cover for physiotherapy as long as it is carried out by a chartered physiotherapist, with the approval/referral of a veterinary surgeon. In addition, some companies will only cover hydrotherapy costs if a chartered physiotherapist is supervising the sessions.
