Camilla has recently moved back to the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk area and has built Roaming Rehab to start both mobile and in-clinic practice locally. While her main passion is within providing care for animals Camilla also likes travelling, periodically she will visit areas of the world where veterinary physiotherapy unfortunately is not readily available and volunteer her services in anyway she can to local practices.

What is Veterinary Physiotherapy?
Veterinary physiotherapy is a specialized branch of veterinary medicine that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions in animals. It utilizes a range of manual techniques, therapeutic exercises, and modalities such as massage, stretching, hydrotherapy, and electrical stimulation to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being in animals. Veterinary physiotherapy is often used to rehabilitate animals after surgery, injury, or illness, as well as to manage chronic conditions and optimize performance in athletic or working animals. By addressing the underlying causes of dysfunction and promoting natural healing processes, veterinary physiotherapy aims to improve the quality of life and functional outcomes for animal patients of all species and breeds.
Gait Analysis
Gait analysis is a crucial tool in veterinary physiotherapy, allowing assessment of movement patterns and biomechanics to identify abnormalities, diagnose conditions, and tailor treatment plans for optimal rehabilitation and results.
Manual Therapies
Manual therapies are essential in veterinary physiotherapy, offering hands-on techniques to alleviate pain and improve range of motion. Techniques such as massage, myofascial release and trigger point release are used.
Phototherapy
Red light therapy utilizes specific wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair, increase circulation, and accelerate healing.
​
Blue light therapy promotes tissue healing and reduces inflammation.
PEMFT
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMFT) harnesses electromagnetic waves to reduce pain, improve tissue repair, and enhance overall healing in animals. It has also been proven to increase bone repair.
Exercise Programme
A tailored exercise program provides customized routines to improve strength, mobility, and function in animals recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions or improving specific muscle groups for performance.
Stretches and ROM
Stretching and range of motion exercises are essential tools in veterinary physiotherapy, helping to improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and enhance overall mobility in animals
Do you notice your animal is moving differently or has started slowing down?
