In order to administer physical therapy to animals veterinarians need to acquire the specific knowledge that will help them to restore the pet’s quality of life and increase its longevity”

In order to provide effective therapy professionals are required to act quickly, mainly when treating conditions which negatively affect coordination or result in weakness and/or stiffness. The use of exercise as a constructive form of therapy dates back to several centuries before our era and, at present, it is undoubtedly the side of rehabilitaion physiotherapy that occupies most of professionals’ working time.

During this postgraduate certificate, the way exercise produces local effects in the muscles and corresponding joints and the effects of repercussion in general will be investigated. The objectives of each case study will be analyzed, as they may vary greatly from one another.

In addition, it is of great importance to highlight the fact that manual therapy is not only a form of therapy used to relieve symptoms or recover a function, but a way of working on our patients which is of incalculable therapeutic and preventive value.

In addition, a variety of ways of restoring health to animals will be practiced, alongside techniques to reduce an animal’s pain or disability and natural forms of manual therapy that encompass not only physical but also psychiatric and emotional terms. These factors will turn the professional into something more than just a therapist.
