Ep. 159- Canine Physical Therapy (w/ Dr. Francisco Maia)
Episode description
In this episode we chat with Dr. Francisco Maia, Physical Therapist and owner of TheK9PT. Fran discusses starting as an outpatient PT before he even knew that animal PT was an option, and how he got his canine rehabilitation certification and what the classes were like. He shares how he started his own business and what a typical canine PT session looks. So what does documentation for animals even entail in comparison to humans? We chat about that, too! Fran talks about his favorite population to work with and how his business has adapted during COVID. He gives recommendations for daily canine activity and talks about strengthening exercises for canines. We wrap up the episode with advice for SPTs whether you are looking to go into canine PT or not.
