-
Reduce pain and discomfort
-
Improve mobility and joint range of motion
-
Increase comfort and everyday function
-
Increase muscle balance
-
Build muscle strength and condition
-
Improve circulation
-
Reduce muscle tension and tightness

About Me
I have been working as s fully qualified veterinary physiotherapist since September 2023 and achieved my MScVP in July 2024 from Writtle University (part of Anglia Ruskin University).
I am a member of the NAVP (National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists) and for my undergraduate degree I achieved a first class BSc (hons) in Equine Science with Therapy from Hartpury University.
​
I have always had a passion for helping and working with animals. Through my experiences over the years keeping animals strong and in top condition is hugely beneficial, further rehabilitating them correctly post injury is essential for keeping them comfortable and able to do what they love. I compete and train my own horses for eventing and have trained my own spaniel as a working gun dog.
​
My aim as a physiotherapist is to provide top quality treatments and rehabilitation with the individual animal at the heart focusing on reducing pain, improving mobility, building strength and condition to improve overall performance and well-being of the animal.
​
As a physiotherapist I use a mixture of up to date manual techniques, electrotherapy's and specialist therapeutic exercises to help each animal recover, reduce their pain, stiffness, increase relaxation and build strength.
