there are many new fields of speciality and physiotherapy is one of them. Other similar fields are veterinary chiropractice, veterinary acupuncture. They are usually implemented to complement medical and surgical therapy.
It does take time to treat and requires alot of training to get good and therefore the service is usually expensive and reserved for people who have money.
What kind of physiotherapy are you thinking about? |

| It sounds good. I would approach a turf club vet with this and try to collaborate with them as they have the cases as well as the expertise. I'm not really knowledgable in physiotherapy so I don't have good ideas for you. Perhaps somebody else in the forum who has more experience can help you. |
