Registered Therapist Services
Connecting your animals and pets with the most appropriate therapy
The Association is an international group of animal therapists who work under veterinary referral.
Animal therapy is as important to the physical wellbeing in animals as it is in humans and this is becoming increasingly appreciated in animal owners and veterinarians. Animal therapists as a consequence are becoming more and more in demand due to the increasing awareness of animal healthcare.
Our registered therapists cover many services from physiotherapy, manipulation and osteopathy to hydrotherapy, massage and maintenance. Their services help animals of all shapes and sizes to recover from injury and illness, reduce pain and stiffness, increase mobility and prevent further injury.
Physiotherapy
Animal Physiotherapy is used to rehabilitate and maintain health, mobility, function and performance in all animals whether they are your top competitor or your best friend | MORE
Osteopathy
Osteopathy looks at assisting the body to maintain or return to a normal functioning unit. Where an injury may be thought to affect just one part of the body, it is surprising how
an animal will alter movement and behaviour to cope | MORE
Manipulation
Animal Manipulation techniques seek to restore balance in the body where disturbance or interference has occurred. It is a relatively gentle technique working with the body promoting natural healing. | MORE
Massage Therapy
Animal massage and stretching techniques can be applied, enabling the animal to perform to their full potential, and keep them supple, comfortable and using themselves correctly | MORE
Hydrotherapy
Equine and canine hydrotherapy uses water as a method of providing rehabilitation following an injury, as well as being used to help build
and maintain fitness | MORE
Maintenance
These therapies work within the RCVS guidelines and with veterinary guidance if required. All complementary animal therapists, of any discipline, must adhere to the Veterinary Act 1966 and gain veterinary permission before treating an animal | MORE
As an animal therapist, I work alongside vets, animal professionals and pet parents. It is therefore paramount they know they are working with a therapist that holds themselves to a high standard of professional conduct, and have absolute trust in my ability, skills and knowledge for them to know that their beloved animals are receiving the best possible care and the most appropriate therapies for their age and condition. Being a member of the IAAT insures just that! Setting industry standards, the IAAT ensures every member is trained and qualified to the highest standard within their field, that they are committed to continuous professional development, are fully insured and adhere to their stringent protocols, codes of conduct and ethics. With the IAAT not only insuring professional regulation, high industry standards and industry recognition, the continuous support, training, mentoring, advice for their members are exceptional. You not only feel part of a professional organisation, you feel like you are a part of a team, a family, and one which I feel very proud to be a member of.
