Natalie

My name is Natalie, I am a Chartered Physiotherapist, specialising in Veterinary Physiotherapy and I treat all animals, but mainly dogs and horses.

I have been lucky enough to be surrounded by animals all my life, competing in Dressage, Show jumping and Eventing, then coming home to pretty much any pet you can think of! I first completed my undergraduate course of Equestrian Sport Science at Hartpury in 2013, where I achieved a First Class BSc Hons. On finishing, I spent some time volunteering in South Africa on a conservation camp, where I got to co-guide on horseback safaris and provide hands-on care to lions, serval and meerkat, to name a few. From here I chose the route of Physiotherapy and ventured to Aberdeen to complete an MSc (Pre-Registration) Physiotherapy degree, whereby I passed with Distinction to become a Chartered Physiotherapist and have been working as a private Physiotherapist for over 5 years. My work with people has predominantly focused on sports, MSK and orthopaedic Physiotherapy. Whilst continuing my work as a Chartered Physiotherapist, I have completed my Veterinary Physiotherapy MSc, with Distinction, back at Hartpury and am now qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist, specialising in Veterinary Physiotherapy. I run static canine clinics at Dave Cumber's, Weymouth and Brook Barn, Wincanton, alongside mobile visits to both canine and equine clients.

My cockerpoo, Koda, has been very helpful throughout my career so far, though she's not so sure about the various dogs she can smell on me at the end of a working day!
