Meet the Team

Experienced & Qualified Veterinary Physiotherapists

At Karen Goodall Veterinary Physiotherapy, our team of qualified veterinary physiotherapists have been enhancing the health and wellbeing of animals since 2013. Every team member delivers personalised treatment plans tailored to your pet's specific needs. We specialise in small animal rehabilitation and also treat sporting dogs to enhance performance.

Our Approach

We offer comprehensive animal physiotherapy with fully insured and registered therapists. Appointments are based at our clinic in Treeton, Rotherham, with mobile visits available on request. Our service complements treatments provided by your veterinary surgeon and aims to improve your pet's welfare and quality of life.

Trusted by Professionals

We are proud to be trusted by veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and pet owners across South Yorkshire to provide effective, up-to-date physiotherapy programmes.

Please note: Veterinary physiotherapists are not trained in veterinary medicine, just as veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses are not trained in veterinary physiotherapy. Veterinary physiotherapists are paraprofessionals working in the veterinary industry. We operate a referral based service which compliments treatments provided by veterinary surgeons and aims to improve animal welfare and quality of life.
