INITIAL CONSULTATION

During an initial assessment I will be getting to know you and your animal for the first time. I need to be thorough with my assessment to ensure I miss nothing. An initial assesment proceeds as follows:

  • Static Assessment (standing animal still)

  • Dynamic Assessment (walk and trotting in a line)

  • Manual Assessment (assessing tissues and structures)

  • Treatment (massage, stretching, electrotherapies etc)

  • Treatment Plan 

  • Demonstration of required exercises

 

After the treatment I will discuss the areas of concern and how the plan will target them. We will develop a manageable plan and discuss further appointments.

BE
READY

What to know before appointment.

Before attending your appointment, it is a legal requirement to provie veterinary referral prior to an initial appointment, please fill in the following forms:

  • Referral Form (Vet signature required or sent from vet email)

  • Consent Form (Filled by owner)

  • GDPR Form (Required for every new client)

  • Insurance cover letter (copy) and insurance form

I recommend you visit the about rehabilitation section so you can understand the process of an assessment and be prepared for what will occur.

Please prepare your animal appropriately, clean, tidy, relevant equipment needed and an appropriate location for treatment. If you have not got access to these facilities I can arrange a suitable location.

Please have a suitable restraint for your pet and a handler MUST be present at appointments.
