CARLIE WOOD - Animal Physiotherapist
A
s a nation of animal lovers, we are more than happy to care for our four-legged friends, be it feeding, exercising or maintaining their health and wellbeing. But what about animal physiotherapy? There’s a very talented young lady in Bourne, currently a Lecturer in Animal Management at Brooksby Melton College in Leicestershire, who is now looking to establish herself in this very niche field. Carlie Wood BSc, Dip.A.Physio, IAAT, is in the process of moving away from her teaching role in the near future to offer her services as a mobile therapist, so that sessions can be carried out in the comfort of the animal’s home, thus helping to reduce the stress the animal may feel. Carlie qualified in January with her Level 6 Diploma (equivalent to a degree) and is now a fully qualified physiotherapist and a member of the prestigious International Association of Animal Therapists. She
has already over fifteen years’ experience in animal handling, welfare, behaviour and rehabilitation. Services offered include the use of two machines, (a Long Wave Ultrasound and a Pulse Electro-magnetic field Therapy Machine), along with massage, stretching, and a range of motion and exercise techniques. With these methods (and working alongside the veterinarian), Carlie can rehabilitate orthopaedic conditions such as hip/elbow dysplasia, ruptured cruciate ligaments and patella luxation, neurological conditions such as intervertebral disc disease, degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis and maintaining general health and fitness for sporting animals. Carlie is fully insured, canine and human first-aid trained, and her current availability is evenings and weekends. With time, her goal is to establish her own practice and a permanent surgery. Get in touch with her today on 07738 682 080.
