For 2021, let’s resolve to do a better job at finding and fixing pain problems in cats. This begins with including myofascial palpation in our assessments as well as watching cats sit, stand, walk, and even jump and land. Let’s then teach these methods of observation to our clients, so that they know, too, what their feline friends are saying. Such as, “I’m not aloof; my back hurts.” And “I’m not 'mean' – you petted me on my sore sacroiliac joint.” Learn to read your feline patients. Click on MORE INFO.

Veterinarians, Physical Therapists, and California
by Narda G. Robinson, DO, DVM, MS, FAAMA
President, Founder, and CEO
CuraCore VET and CuraCore MED
A battle has been brewing for years in California over the requirement for direct veterinary supervision of animals receiving care from human physical therapists (PTs). [In case you missed it, the Veterinary Information Network provides a concise encapsulation, here.] Certain active and vocal PTs are seeking to change laws, citing inconvenience for clients, the cost of "redundant" examinations, and even restraint of trade.
Dr. Christina Bradbury, a member of the California Veterinary Medical Board, stated, "There is this whole notion that we are here to protect the veterinarians and that this is all a conspiracy to maintain their ability to make more money, and that it's a monopoly...I'm stunned by it because the majority of the people that are talking are the ones that are actually concerned about losing their own money… We are not here to protect veterinarians. We are here to protect the public and the animals."
At CuraCore VET, we operate on the premise that we, as veterinarians, should set our own standards of excellence in rehabilitation and physical medicine, drawing not only from physical therapy, but also osteopathic medicine, medical massage, and structural integration. The integrative rehabilitation approaches that we teach reflect this diversity.
Thus, those earning certification in rehabilitation and physical medicine (CRPM) from CuraCore VET are diagnosing patients and implementing strategies based on advanced, interdisciplinary veterinary medicine. While some PTs have claimed that veterinarians are learning a truncated version of physical therapy in their veterinary rehab programs, that is clearly not the case for our MOVE / CRPM programs at CuraCore VET.

How are you feeling about your veterinary medicine career? Are you stuck, bored, feeling ethically compromised, or totally fed up and exhausted? If so, you’ll want to listen to our conversation with Dr. Alissa Edoff. Dr. Edoff started out working for a corporation and then found happiness as a mobile, solo practitioner, providing medical acupuncture, laser therapy, medical massage, and rehabilitation for small animals.
Find out more about how to take charge of your life and career, helping not just animals, but also yourself. Listen on Apple Podcasts or wherever you enjoy listening. Or, watch the video on the CuraCore VET YouTube channel, linked here and below.

The December episode of the "On Being" podcast highlighted singer and violinist Gaelynn Lea.

Listen to this episode -- even the unedited version -- to remind yourself how healing and uplifting it is to commune with gentle, sensitive people. |
