Referring Veterinary Surgeons

---

At Recharge Veterinary Physiotherapy, we work alongside veterinary practices to provide evidence-based rehabilitation for dogs, cats and horses. As qualified Veterinary Physiotherapists, we are committed to delivering safe, effective treatment plans that complement your medical and surgical management while helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes.

Our goal is simple: to support your patients' recovery, improve their comfort and function, and provide you with clear communication throughout the rehabilitation process.

Recharge Veterinary Physiotherapy is led by Veterinary Physiotherapists Lana and Aimee, who work under veterinary referral to provide evidence-based rehabilitation for canine and equine patients.

Lana holds an Integrated Master's degree (IMSc) in Veterinary Physiotherapy and is also a Lecturer in Veterinary Physiotherapy, a qualified Small Animal Hydrotherapist and a Caninology Canine Bodyworker. Aimee holds a First Class BSc (Hons) degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy and is also a Level 3 RQF qualified Personal Trainer, bringing additional expertise in strength, conditioning and exercise prescription.

Both clinicians are members of the Register of Animal Musculoskeletal Practitioners (mRAMP), demonstrating their commitment to maintaining high professional standards, evidence-based practice and continued professional development. Together, they combine thorough clinical assessment, manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and advanced treatment modalities to support patients recovering from orthopaedic, neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.

Veterinary physiotherapy has become an integral part of modern veterinary medicine. Whether managing orthopaedic injuries, neurological conditions, chronic pain or post-operative rehabilitation, physiotherapy can help patients:

• Improve mobility and functional movement
• Reduce pain through multimodal rehabilitation
• Restore muscle strength and joint function
• Improve balance, proprioception and coordination
• Support tissue healing and recovery
• Slow the progression of chronic musculoskeletal conditions
• Enhance quality of life and long-term mobility

Every rehabilitation programme is individually tailored to the patient's diagnosis, clinical presentation, lifestyle and goals, ensuring treatment remains appropriate throughout each stage of recovery.

We understand that every veterinary practice has different expectations when referring patients for physiotherapy, and you may wish to know exactly what rehabilitation involves before making a referral.

Below you'll find a range of condition-specific guides explaining how we typically approach rehabilitation for common veterinary conditions.

Each section includes:

• Our assessment and treatment approach
• The current evidence supporting rehabilitation techniques
• Real clinical case studies
• Typical treatment timelines
• Home exercise examples
• Equipment commonly used during rehabilitation

By outlining our approach, we hope to make the referral process transparent and give you confidence in how your patients will be managed.
