PLEASE NOTE: A Veterinary Physiotherapist can only perform under the referral of a Veterinary Surgeon as part of the Veterinary Surgery (Exemptions) Order 2015. However, as of November 2020, the RCVS released new guidance in the form of Chapter 19 in the Code of Professional Conduct which outlined that musculoskeletal therapists would not have to seek veterinary referral for maintenance care. Therefore, veterinary referral will be only required from patients currently under the care of a veterinary surgeon and not for maintenance treatments. 

​

While Veterinary consent is not required for maintenance or conditioning cases, your animal must still be registered with  a veterinary practice. Your vet will be notified prior to the initial consultation. If an injury or pathology is discovered during the appointment, treatment will be stopped and your will be referred back to your vet.

By confirming your physiotherapy appointment, you are agreeing to that you have read and understood the terms and conditions
