Merseyside Canine Physiotherapy provides tailored assessment and treatment services to our canine clients such as:
Physiotherapy, Massage, Myofascial Release, Exercise Programs & LASER Therapy Unlike human physiotherapy, where clients can self-refer, The Veterinary Surgery (Exemptions) Order 1962 only allows veterinary physiotherapists to treat animals if they have been seen by a vet first. This
does not mean you can't self-refer; when you request an appointment, we will ask if you have already gained consent from your vet. We will then ask for your veterinary details and gain their consent prior to your appointment. We can gain this consent on your behalf, or you can request a referral form from our website to discuss with your vet. MCP aims to work alongside the veterinary teams to optimise function and quality of life for your canine companion. Whether your canine is a companion animal or elite competitor, physiotherapy aims to restore and maintain mobility, function, independence and performance. Here at MCP, I am a chartered physiotherapists specialising in animal physiotherapy. I am therefore a member of HCPC, CSP and ACPAT Cat A. I use clinically reasoned and evidence-based approaches to provide the most appropriate and safe management of our clients. MCP is located in Knowsley and will be happy to provide our services to any in need.
**-Please note-**
There are many canine practitioners, some with qualifications and some without. It is advised that you check the qualifications of the person treating your animal to ensure they have the appropriate qualifications and insurance. Physiotherapy is an established health care profession in the UK which requires a formal degree level qualification. The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is a regulatory body that governs all formal health practice in the UK. The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) regulates all physiotherapists within the UK and The Association of Chartered Therapists in Animal Therapy (ACPAT) is an organisation within the CSP which specialises in animals. Membership of all bodies means we are qualified, insured, and required to provide evidence of continued professional development to ensure high quality and safe practice.
