About me

Birkby Veterinary Physiotherapy was set up as a result of ten years of study and in the lifelong pursuit of a dream to work with horses, riders and dogs to improve their wellbeing and performance.

Passionate about horses and a besotted dog lover all my life,  physiotherapy allows me to combine my passions into a career. I studied for four years with Nottingham Trent University gaining a BSc in Equine Sport Science. This degree really sparked my interest in horse sport, particularly as I spent a year as a working pupil with top eventing and sport horse producer Dassett Eventing.

Following this I completed a BSc in Physiotherapy at the University of Birmingham and started work in the NHS as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist in Leicestershire, treating patients with everything from back pain to arthritis, sporting injuries and following surgery.

At the same time I studied for my MSc in Veterinary physiotherapy at Hartpury University centre, allowing me to expand my physiotherapy skills to animals.

​

In order to maintain my status as a chartered physiotherapist and veterinary physiotherapist I am constantly learning about the field, by reading research, attending courses and debating with my colleagues, in order to provide the best possible treatment I can.
