In order to practice canine rehabilitation, a person must be a veterinarian, veterinary technician, physical therapist, or physical therapist assistant.

At CRCG, all of practitioners are licensed and all are certified either by the University of Tennessee or the Animal Rehabilitation Institute in Florida within a year of joining us. These unique programs are designed to meet the needs of the veterinarian, veterinary technician, physical therapist, and physical therapist assistant interested in the field of canine rehabilitation.

This profession is directed at evaluating, restoring and maintaining a dog’s physical function and movement. Working with the owner, veterinarian and often other healthcare professionals, a rehabilitation practitioner helps your animal to achieve and maintain optimal health and well-being. Equipped with a specialized education and extensive experience, CCRPs are able to assess and treat movement and function.

Physical Therapy, Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation are recognized sciences applied to both humans and animals. The goals of therapy are to relieve pain, restore range of motion/movement, improve function, prevent injuries and expand the physical potential of the patient.
