Since our last update in July of this year we have had an extremely busy time with lots of changes!
We would like to introduce Judi Walton to the team who has taken up our post of full time administrator here in our office. We would like to formally welcome Judi to our team and hope she will be very happy in her new role. No doubt all of you will speak to her at some point over the telephone to arrange appointments and to answer any of your queries. Anything that needs organising, Judi is the lady to speak to!! Judi will be more than happy to arrange anything you may need in order to meet your requirements!!
Becki Simpson who joined us back in the summer has moved onto pastures new to closely pursue her small animal work and business ventures in the Gloucester area. She will be sadly missed and we all wish her well for the future.

Recent Courses/Research
Key educational developments this summer have been ensuring that we are keeping up to date on all new research and evidence base beneath our main treatment modalities. Rhiannon has recently attended an update on current research base behind the use of LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy). The current evidence base behind LLLT is extremely encouraging and exciting in proving the extensive therapeutic benefits of LLLT in the treatment of peripheral soft tissue injuries and pain. We have recently invested heavily as a team in two new Laser units, thereby ensuring we are best placed to provide the most superior approach available when it comes to LLLT treatments for both you and your animals.
Both Tim and Moira are also due on a update course in February 2012, so why not go ahead and ask all those questions on how LLLT (laser) could help you or your animal.
If you are intrigued and would like to find out more then follow this link for all information and new research into LLLT via THOR Photomedicine Ltd.

2011-2012
University of the West of England-Hartpury College
We have supported the current MSc course in Veterinary Physiotherapy at Hartpury College through providing a venue for clinical placements and student information. The University provides this course exclusively for Chartered Physiotherapists, enabling their progression into Veterinary care. It is very important to us and we feel very strongly about ensuring that the number of suitably qualified individuals increases across the UK and abroad. The MSc is purely there as a research based conversion from being a human Chartered Physiotherapist into being in a position to safely transfer their knowledge into the Veterinary model.
