Important COVID-19 Announcement
The decision made by the government on 23rd March 2020 gives us clear instruction on how we as allied professionals should now progress with our businesses to all play our part in helping to safeguard public health.
We understand it’s a difficult time for our animal owners and for our members, but everyone must continue to follow the guidelines set by our government on social distancing and minimising all non-essential travel.
NAVP members who are employed in a veterinary practise: these members will continue to follow the practise rules as directed by the RCVS and the BVA.
For NAVP members who are mobile and treating canine or equine clients at people’s homes or on yards: they will now stop all face to face work.
If you are a client and have an animal currently undergoing treatment or have a programme in place, please talk to your veterinary physiotherapist about how best to continue. Our members have been given advice on how to keep in touch with and support their clients during this time.
We recognise that owners with animals on a treatment programme will have concerns and we urge them to keep in contact with their veterinary physiotherapist via phone/email/social media. We also want to reassure owners that emergency veterinary services for their animals will continue to be available as directed by the RCVS and the BVA should they unfortunately have the need to require them.

Welcome to NAVP
The National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists was formed back in 1985 to promote the professional practice of veterinary physiotherapy. Working together with veterinary surgeons, the organisation has since grown substantially. NAVP aims to ensure that the highest standards of veterinary physiotherapy care will be delivered to animals by linking a strong foundation of scientific knowledge with clinical practice and continued research. NAVP is widely recognised in the industry for its pivotal role in developing the very first direct entry routes for veterinary physiotherapy training at both postgraduate and also now undergraduate level.
