BSc (Hons) Veterinary Physiotherapy

... United Kingdom
... Harper Adams University

Course Overview

Veterinary physiotherapists work alongside veterinary surgeons and nurses within vet practices and hospitals to treat animals. In addition, several physiotherapists work closely with the equine sports industry within racing or other sporting disciplines. Others work independently, setting up their businesses and working with horse and dog owners. Physiotherapy following veterinary referral can help animals recover from various conditions, such as back pain, sprains, strains, fractures and sporting injuries. It can also be used following orthopaedic, neurological or general surgery and improve biomechanics and athletic ability.

As such, its use within the veterinary field is increasing. Animals can undergo various treatments, including manual techniques, electrotherapies and exercise therapy. Teaching may consist of formal lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical exercises, laboratory sessions, study visits, clinics or guest speakers. As the course is highly vocational, there are many valuable skills to be learnt and honed in the fourth year's clinics. In addition to the taught sessions, you will be expected to undertake further study in your own time, complete tutorial exercises and written assignments, and, if required, prepare for an exam.
