Lisa is a highly trained Veterinary Nurse who joined us recently. As well as regular nurse duties and training student nurses, she has also had further training in physiotherapy for pets, which she is using on some of our patients.

Here she is giving Millie some physio - Millie seems to be enjoying it I think!

In humans, physiotherapy is used for many different orthopaedic and muscular conditions and the same is true in the veterinary field, and although its use is far from routine at the moment, that situation is slowly changing. Lisa most frequently performs physio for arthritis, and following orthopaedic surgery eg cruciate ligament repair.

If you are wondering if your pet would benefit from physiotherapy, please give Lisa a call at Roundswell surgery.
