Most insurance companies do provide veterinary physiotherapy cover. We advise all prospective clients to contact their insurance provider before treatment to check what benefits are available as policies may vary.

If your animal is currently being treated by their veterinary surgeon for lameness, poor performance, or any other issue, veterinary consent is required prior to treatment. However, veterinary consent is not required in cases of maintenance or competition care as long as the animal is sound, fit and healthy. For your convenience, you can download our veterinary consent form from our Prices and Forms page and ask your veterinary surgeon to sign it prior to booking an appointment. Alternatively, you can contact us directly and we can send the referral form to your vets on your behalf.

Did you know that the title ‘Veterinary Physiotherapist’ isn’t regulated? This means that anyone can call themselves a veterinary physiotherapist without any formal training - not ideal! That’s why it is super important to always check your physios level of qualification, where they studied, and which governing body they belong to. Within the UK, there are numerous registers and regulatory bodies that exist to regulate practitioners in the veterinary physiotherapy field, including: NAVP, ACPAT, IRVAP, RAMP and AHPR. With that in mind, I am a proud member of the NAVP! ‘The NAVP aims to ensure that the highest standards of veterinary physiotherapy care will be delivered to animals by linking a strong foundation of scientific knowledge with clinical practice and continued research.’ What does this mean? Well, it means that by choosing an NAVP member, you are assured that they: Have qualified via a recognised accredited training programme Carry appropriate professional and public liability insurance Work in accordance with current legislation alongside your veterinary surgeon, and also in close partnership with other relate professionals, including saddle fitters, trainers, dentists and farriers Follow and work within a professional code of conduct and ethics Are required to continually maintain and enhance their skills post-qualification by completing appropriate courses and programmes or continual professional development (CPD) annually in order to maintain their membership. This means you can rest easy knowing that Movimentum Veterinary Physiotherapists are up to date with the latest scientific and evidence based research and skill set in order to take the best care of your animals to the highest possible standard.
