Animal physical therapy coalition

  • We are a grassroots Coalition comprised of Veterinarians, Physical Therapists, Registered Veterinary Technicians, and Consumers. (i.e. a Coalition of ALL stakeholders)
  • We believe that Veterinarians should be given the option at their discretion to refer their animal patients to qualified Physical Therapists and provide indirect supervision.  If referring out to a qualified PT is in the best interest for their animal patients, the Vet should be afforded that option.
  • This would help to increase access to care for more animals needing PT/rehab services and would serve to promote professional unity to advance our shared field.
  • As it stands now, animals are not getting the care they need because of overreaching and hurtful regulations that were enacted this year by the California Veterinary Medical Board. 
                                                         Legislation is the answer.  Join us!
