There is a massive difference between physiotherapy and osteopathy. Primarily, physiotherapy forms part of conventional medicine, whilst osteopathy is "alternative medicine".

Look at the college of animal physiotherapy. That's the course that I was looking at doing.

I've interviewed in a practice in the past who had nurse-led physio clinics so it's definitely possible! It might be worth getting in touch with Inglis Vets in Dunfermline and seeing if any of their physio nurses can point you in the right direction?

My husbands an osteopath and you would have to study at uni for this, its def 4 maybe even 5 years, and more expensive than most degrees. With physio, you can now do physio courses as a vet nurse.
