General Veterinary Technician Session: So much of what we can do on canines can be transferred to other types of animals. See ways that you can use just about anything laying around the office or home to help our non-canine patients. Every animal deserves to have a chance to possibly manage pain, improve mobility or develop confidence in their life.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the benefits of animal physical rehabilitation
Learn how to apply concepts of the canine, feline or large animal movement to other patients
Recognize how rehabilitation can improve the well being for animals
Learn common therapeutic exercises that can be used for various species
