The work of a Veterinary Physiotherapist involves investigating mobility problems, preventing recurring injuries and helping to reduce pain. Horses and dogs are the most common types of animal referred for physiotherapy. The work is physically demanding; it requires a high degree of physical fitness, stamina and a strong back as there is likely to be heavy lifting at times. Many Veterinary Physiotherapists are self employed and run their own businesses – working from home, from local surgeries or travelling to their client’s facilities. This means that at times the work may be outdoors or in stable yards in all weathers. Some Veterinary Physiotherapists work from larger veterinary practices and animal hospitals where they encounter a wide variety of cases and may have the opportunity of promotion within the organisation.
