NOTE: This session will now be presented by Helen Nicholson
Physiotherapy has been a vital part of patient care in human medicine for decades and research has shown that physiotherapy improves functional outcomes, reduces the need for analgesia and reduces the length of hospital stay.
Despite similar outcomes in dogs, physiotherapy is still not a standard part of pre- and post-operative care for many animals. This lecture addresses how to identify and assess problems which are suitable for physiotherapy and how to develop a rehabilitation plan.
