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.
