Veterinary Physiotherapy - South West London and Surrey
Sally Coulthard Chartered Veterinary Physiotherapist MSc, MCSP, ACPAT cat A was brought up on a farm in Cumbria and has been surrounded by farm and domestic animals all her life.
From an early age Sally was fortunate to own her own ponies and horses and was an active member of the local pony and riding club. During this time Sally competed both individually and as a team member for the dressage, showjumping and horse trial teams.
She furthered equestrian and stable management skills by obtaining BHS stages 1&2 which allowed her to work as a riding instructor both in the UK and in America as part of the British University North America Club.
Sally trained as a Chartered Physiotherapist at St Georges Hospital Medical School, London obtaining a Bsc (Hons) degree before completing an MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy at the Royal Veterinary College.
