This Postgraduate certificate will train you in depth so that you can successfully implement veterinary rehabilitation plans and become an essential professional in this area"

The main objective pursued by the veterinarian is to integrate physiotherapeutic rehabilitation in order to treat the animal as a whole. In this sense, each patient manifests, suffers and responds differently to the same disease. Therefore, treatments should not simply be medical prescriptions, they should be tailored and personalized.

In order to adequately follow-up the evolution of the condition in each patient and to ensure that the patient gets the maximum benefit from the treatment, the physiotherapist regularly re-evaluates all the data described above, and reflects on the opinions of other specialists that may be of interest in the treatment of the patient (multidisciplinary treatment).

When implementing the work protocols, there will be close contact between the animal and its owner. Therefore, during the Postgraduate certificate we will work together during both the treatment of the animal and the recovery period. This system will help to make the owner feel included in the treatment guidelines and will satisfy their desire to help their pet themselves..

Finally, how to effectively run a physiotherapy and rehabilitation center for small animals will be addressed, something with which professionals must be very involved, establishing the work system abd staying in direct and constant communication with the staff is essential.
