At Apollo Animal Physio, we firmly believe that each human being has something in this world that they are supposed to devote their time and passion towards. The Japanese call this idea ‘Ikigai’ – a reason for being. There are four parts to this concept. The first is “that which you love” – we at Apollo Animal Physio all have had a strong, deep connection to animals since we can remember. If you had a dog, you could almost forget any interaction – we would be talking pretty much exclusively with your dog!
We all have animals which we love dearly. They are our version of meditation every day – our absolute favourite part!
The second part to ‘Ikigai’ is “that which you are good at” – our devotion to animals has led us down a path of self-enlightenment regarding animal welfare. In retrospect, Laura has had animals in the past who were signaling that they were not 100% comfortable. However, she was not aware of their condition, simply because she did not know to look for the signs!
It is imperative to be a lifelong learner with an open mind to truly be the best that you can be, vocationally and generally.
The next part of Ikigai is “that which the world needs” – we support the idea that we must all try to leave the world in a better place than we found it, and we intend to make an impact on the lives of the animals we work with through improvements in the awareness of animal welfare. My career has enabled me to access an unprecedented amount of high-quality, peer-reviewed research. Through the acquisition of this knowledge we are now able to pass this on to other people via physiotherapy.
The next part of Ikigai – “that which you can be paid for” – let’s be honest, we all need to make a living,but we are just so blessed by the variety of personalities we get to work with, as well as being part of the team that allows them to live a happy, functional life. We count our blessings every day; grateful that we are able to make a difference through a career that we absolutely love.
Physiotherapy is a widely recognized adjunct to veterinary care when it comes to musculoskeletal problems. Having established the patient’s individual needs, a tailored physiotherapy program is applied with objective and time-specific goals that allow measurable progress to be achieved. We support you with specialist advice and a home plan designed specifically for your pet.
Whatever your animal’s age or problem, we are confident to achieve significant improvement when it comes to movement, function and pain management. Our proactive approach includes an assessment each session, which may inform the re-evaluation of the plan so that the therapy continues to be targeted towards the patient’s needs.
Every member of our team is educated to the highest standards, with a core ethos of animal care & welfare at their heart.
Each one brings a unique set of skills and expertise to our rehabilitation centre.
