In addition to running my physio business, I also lecture on the clinical year of the MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy at ARU Writtle!

I've been teaching on this programme for about 6 years now, and previously also taught on the undergraduate programme.

I absolutely love lecturing, and feel that this massively compliments my clinical practice as a Veterinary Physiotherapist.

You have to stay so up to date when teaching, and are constantly being challenged on your knowledge and assumptions - which is fantastic for your own development!

Plus you have to be super on top of your anatomy - which I dont mind at all though, as I absolutely LOVE all things anatomy 😁

Looking forward to another weekend of teaching next month!

I’M HIRING! Freelance Veterinary Physiotherapist Opportunity

📍 Bristol and surrounding areas | Canine and/or equine positions available | Mobile practice

➡️ Application deadline: Wednesday 4th of November 2026

Exciting news! I'm looking for a motivated, professional and compassionate Veterinary Physiotherapist to work with me on a self-employed, mobile basis through CR Vet Physio!

I pride myself on providing gold-standard clinical care, alongside building genuine, compassionate connections with my clients and their animals. I'm looking for someone who shares these values - someone who is empathetic, approachable and able to build trusting relationships, helping both clients and their animals feel comfortable, listened to and supported throughout their care.

What the opportunity offers:

✅️ Access to clinical work through my established practice, without needing to generate your own client enquiries.

✅️ Less business admin, with me managing enquiries, intake, bookings, invoicing, payment collection and coordinating veterinary consent and correspondence.

✅️ Flexibility to fit mobile appointments around your existing business or other commitments.

✅️ Opportunities to collaborate on cases, share clinical perspectives and develop our clinical reasoning to support the best possible patient outcomes.

✅️ A varied caseload, with opportunities for canine and/or equine practitioners.

I'm looking for someone with a minimum Level 6 qualification in Veterinary Physiotherapy (or equivalent), clinical experience, and the confidence to manage cases independently while working collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes for our patients. I need someone who is professional, reliable and organised, with a commitment to providing an excellent standard of care.

For canine practitioners, an interest in therapeutic exercise and rehabilitation is important.

For equine practitioners, I'm particularly interested in someone who enjoys incorporating bodywork into their physiotherapy sessions.

If you're interested in finding out more, please send me a message or email me at [email protected]. I'd love to hear from you!

🐾 Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy: why I love working collaboratively!

This is Buddy, one of my rehab patients, enjoying a session at the hydrotherapy centre I referred him to.

I find physiotherapy and hydrotherapy can be so effective when used together as part of an appropriate, coordinated rehabilitation plan. They offer different opportunities to work towards our patients' goals, and communicating with one another helps us ensure we're taking a consistent approach.

The hydrotherapy centre and I regularly update one another about our cases, discussing progress and keeping each other informed so we can adapt our approach where needed.

For me, this is what good collaboration is all about: sharing information, communicating openly and working together to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients. 💙

📍 A tip for mobile canine practitioners!

If you haven't already, I'd really encourage you to reach out to your local hydrotherapy centres and start building those relationships.

You could:
🐾 Introduce yourself and explain the type of cases you work with.
🐾 Find out how they prefer to communicate with referring practitioners.
🐾 Discuss how you can keep one another updated on shared cases.
🐾 Build relationships over time, so you have trusted professionals you can refer to when hydrotherapy may be appropriate for a patient.

And there's another benefit to this, too! As mobile practitioners, we often spend a lot of time working independently. Having professional relationships where we can communicate, share relevant information and work towards common goals can be really rewarding.

Collaboration isn't just about referring a patient on. It's about working together throughout their rehab.

I'd love to hear from other practitioners: do you have good relationships with your local hydrotherapy centres? How do you communicate about shared cases?

And if you're practitioner who'd love some support building your business and gaining confidence clinically, get in touch!

I'm tagging the lovely team at the Animal Rehab Clinic who are working with Buddy here! 💙

I spent the weekend up in Essex teaching on an MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy at ARU Writtle.

I absolutely love this teaching role, especially the super hands on, clinical nature and getting to teach small groups!

Really lovely to be getting to know this years cohort and helping them toward their dream of becoming Vet Physios!

Its also so nice to now be mentoring many of the past cohorts, helping them to build clinical confidence and grow their practices!

It's jam packed with super practical advice, coming straight from my experience running a successful mobile physio business!

I had such a lovely, rewarding weekend last week...

We welcomed the new 2nd year MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy cohort back to ARU Writtle for their clinical year!

I absolutely love teaching on this Postgrad course. I find supporting the small group of students so rewarding, and love hearing about everyone's backgrounds and experiences. I think the diversity makes for such a rich learning environment!

Super excited to continue teaching on both the equine and canine sides this term, and helping them work toward their vision of becoming Vet Physios! 😊
... For those of you who've finished with us already... Please do stay in touch!! 💚

If you’re reading this and thinking “YES… this is exactly where I’m at!” then I promise you’re not the only one.

There is SO much to learn when you’re setting up your own business, and it can feel a bit overwhelming trying to work out what you should be doing, what you don’t need to worry about yet, and whether you’re actually on the right track!

I remember being in that position myself, which is a huge part of why I created my mentorship programmes.

I really wanted to create the kind of support I would have loved to have had — somewhere you can ask questions, talk things through, get practical guidance and have someone reassure you when you’re doing the right thing (and give you a gentle nudge when you’re not!).

My mentorship programmes open next week after my free workshop, and I have limited places because everyone gets 1:1 calls with me.

But if you’re wondering whether mentorship would actually be helpful for you, please just message me!

You don’t need to know which programme you want or have everything figured out. We can just have a chat about where you’re at, what you’re struggling with and whether I think I could help.

No pressure at all — I’m very happy to chat! ❤️

Feedback like this makes me SO happy! 🥹

Helping practitioners get their businesses set up faster, overcome procrastination and perfectionism and have really clear, step-by-step guidance are exactly some of the reasons I created my mentorship programmes!

I know how easy it can be to have a million things you know you need to do, but feel overwhelmed about where to start, or keep putting things off because you aren't quite sure what the next step should be.

Having someone there to help you break things down, give you clear direction and keep you accountable can make such a difference.

And seeing practitioners make progress, take action and start feeling more confident in their businesses is exactly why I love doing this! 💙

🚀 All of my mentorship programmes open again next week!

I offer different options depending on where you are in your business and the type of support you're looking for.

I have to keep my mentorship capacity limited because all my programmes include 1:1 time with me, so I only have a certain number of spaces available.

If you're interested, send me a message and I can put you on the priority list.

You can also book a FREE discovery call with me, where we can chat about where you are currently, what you're hoping to achieve and which type of mentorship would be most helpful for you.

No pressure at all – it's simply a chance to chat through what you're looking for and work out what support would suit you best. 😊

Hopefully see many of you at my free workshop next week too! Get in touch for more info!

⭐️ A little reminder: don’t be afraid to ask for reviews! ⭐️

Reviews can make a HUGE difference to our businesses! I know that having a Google profile with lots of reviews and pictures gets me new client enquiries really frequently.

And if you feel awkward asking… remember this:

Your clients often genuinely WANT to help you. ❤️

If they’ve had a great experience, they’re usually more than happy to leave a review — especially when they know that their kind words could help another animal find you.

More reviews = more trust = more potential clients finding your business = more animals you can help. 🐾

So, if you haven’t already:
👉 Ask your happy clients for a review
👉 Make sure your Google Business Profile is set up and ready to receive reviews
👉 Don’t overthink it — you’re simply giving your clients an opportunity to support your business

This looks like a great CPD, for any practitioners in the area!

Working Together: Behaviourists and Physiotherapists in Practice.

You loved it so much, we are doing it again and this time ITS ON A SATURDAY!

Join us to learn the link between musculoskeletal pathology and behavioural reactivity. We will be leading you through the application of collaboration to help our clients succeed.

Clinical case studies, unpicking the more complex canines. CPD day for professionals who believe in a "whole-dog" approach.

Have you ever worked with a “reactive” dog and felt there was a missing piece to the puzzle? Join us for an immersive, high-energy day where we break down the barriers between professional disciplines and explore the powerful synergy between canine behaviour and veterinary physiotherapy. Join us to learn the link between musculoskeletal pathology and behavioural reactivity. We will be leading you through the application of collaboration to help our clients succeed.

The Event Details
* Date: Saturday 3rd October 2026
* Time: 10:00 am – 3:00 pm
* Location: Dunham on Trent Village Hall
* Focus: Advanced CPD for professionals who believe in a "whole-dog" approach.
* Price: £60 per person to include tea, coffee and biscuits.

All too often, professionals work in isolation, focusing only on their specific field. Alice Watts (Education4Paws)and Lily Moffatt (Veterinary Physiotherapy) are joining forces to prove that we are exponentially more effective when we stop working in separate bubbles and start collaborating.

Whether you’re a trainer, vet nurse, behaviourist, or MSK therapist, you’ll leave with more than just facts; you’ll leave with a new, integrated way of working.
* Refine Your Observation Skills: Learn to recognise the subtle physical signs that indicate a reactive response may be driven by physical sensitivity.
* Expand Your Professional Network: Meet like-minded professionals who value teamwork and shared expertise over working alone.
* Evidence-Based Success: See firsthand how lives are transformed when we address the "Why" (Behaviour) and the "Where" (Physio) simultaneously.
