Annika Bond MSc, PGdip An phys

I am an IAAT registered Veterinary Physiotherapist and also hold a Master of Science Degree in Biomechanics and a Bachelors Degree in Sport Science; a unique combination enabling thorough stance, posture and gait assessment, supporting optimum therapy.

​

Being a qualified and accredited trainer for the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) and also holding a diploma in Canine Training and Behaviour, I use force free, reward-based training methods and this is mirrored in the care of animals at the clinic. I am very happy to give animals the time they need to relax and always handle them in a calm gentle manner.

​

With my Masters Degree dissertation focussing on equine gait assessment and having worked at racing yards both in the U.K. and Australia, plus owning horses and dogs all my life, I have wide knowledge of gait abnormalities, injury and treatment plans.

​

I worked for one of Sussex's largest canine training companies (schooling 4 Dogs) for 8 years, as a trainer and physiotherapist where i taught group classes, 121 sessions and a variety of workshops.

​

Having run a busy animal physiotherapy clinic in Sussex for several years, I have now relocated and set up my clinic at my home in Metheringham Fen near Lincoln, where I live with my husband, two daughters, five horses, two dogs, two cats, five pet sheep and two pet pigs.
