Joanne Boddy
I have a background in animal welfare having worked for the RCPCA, Cats Protection and HAPPA. In order to be an animal physiotherapist I first of all completed my human physiotherapy degree in 1999. I gained a varied and solid grounding in all areas on Human Physiotherapy before specialising in the neuromusculoskeletal field and then completing my animal physiotherapy training in 2003.
Since then I have been lucky enough to work with some amazing clinicians and inspiring animal patients and have built up a large amount of experience in treating cats and dogs. I particularly enjoy treating spinal problems and also am fascinated by neurological problems in cats. I get a large amount of satisfaction from calming nervous patients and by empowering people to help their animal companions recover from illness.
I lecture on Veterinary Physiotherapy and teach clinical skills to Veterinary Physiotherapy students. I have slowly built up my team and feel we work together well, offering between us a breadth and depth of knowledge and experience which enables us to provide a high level of care.
