The Animal Health Professions’ Register is a voluntary register which has been developed by many representative groups of the animal health industries and includes the following subgroups:
• Animal Chiropractic and Manipulation
• Animal Hydrotherapy
• Animal / Veterinary Physiotherapy
• Animal Sports Therapy and Massage
Membership of the AHPR is open to those professions who provide services for the treatment of animals under veterinary referral and for the maintenance of health. Those professions providing treatment are required to base practice on evidence based therapies and clinical reasoning, as well as any therapies for which the benefits are observable and measurable. All our registrants who provide treatment for the musculoskeletal system of an animal work with full adherence to the Veterinary Surgery (Exemptions) Order 2015 and only treat animals following veterinary referral, with veterinary permission, or with the knowledge of the consulting veterinary surgeon. For animal owners this means that the therapist who sees your animal for musculoskeletal therapies must be in contact with the animal’s vet to carry out any treatments.
The aim of the register is to raise standards in the industry and assist animal owners and veterinary surgeons in ensuring that the professionals they use to assist in the treatment and health maintenance of their or client’s animals are suitably trained and accountable.
All registrants have achieved an industry recognised appropriate standard of training through externally accredited courses, comply with Continuing Professional Development and hold full, valid professional indemnity insurance as required by the wider industry.
Massage is the evidence based application of ‘hands on’ manual therapies, by competent, professional, qualified therapists. With animal welfare as a first consideration, full static and dynamic evaluation assessments are carried out to enable the sports therapist to make informed decisions based on clinical reasoning. Environment, training equipment, animal / handler relationships and psychological factors are evaluated before applying integrated, documented techniques to establish and promote optimum physical and psychological well-being in their patients. Animal sports therapy and massage play an extremely important role in prophylactic care for animals, assisting in the early detection, treatment and restoration of musculoskeletal imbalances. Animal massage is an evidenced based profession with animal welfare at its core
Horses are my life and i have a life long commitment as long as i am here to doing my absolute best by these stoic beasts who provide us with so much and yet ask for so little in return. I constantly strive to keep my knowledge up to date to enable me to provide the best care i possibly can. I hope that i can pass on my knowledge and enthusiasm for how important understanding your horses anatomy, biomechanics and behavioural patterns are to allow you to have a fantastic partnership and bond with your horses.
