Physical rehabilitation is a vital aspect of veterinary medicine.

Veterinary technicians and nurses specializing in physical rehabilitation therefore constitute a potentially critical component of any veterinary practice and/or care team.

Physical Rehabilitation for Veterinary Technicians and Nursesย provides a clear, accessible overview of this subject for prospective veterinary rehabilitation professionals. Brimming with insights stemming from both research and practical experience, and now updated to reflect a wave of new research since the first edition, this book promises to equip readers with the knowledge required to make themselves indispensable in veterinary practice.

Readers of the second edition ofย Physical Rehabilitation for Veterinary Technicians and Nursesย will also find:

  • Practical tips and tricks connected to the role of a technician on a rehabilitation team
  • New or updated coverage of subjects including canine fitness, shockwave protocols, underwater treadmill exercises, and many more
