Why OhAna physio?

“Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten”. This is a meaningful quote from a Disney movie (Lilo & Stitch, 2002) which highlights the importance of all members of the family, young or old, people or animals to be noted and remembered.

I always believed that animals’ needs were underestimated which is changing over the years. It is important to understand that as people might need physiotherapy, animals might be in the same need for treatment. OhAna physio is focused on an animal/person-centred approach, offering high quality services, putting you and your animal first, as a member of your ohana or family.

Physiotherapist

Anastasia is an ACPAT (Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Animal Therapy) category A veterinary physiotherapist with eight years of experience working in the human field and specialising in musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. ACPAT veterinary physiotherapists are considered as the “gold standard” in veterinary physiotherapy, as they have been under high level of education (at least post-graduate level) and gained extensive clinical experience as chartered physiotherapists prior qualifying to treat animals. Anastasia is fully insured and has professional registrations with HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) and CSP (Chartered Society of Physiotherapists) as chartered physiotherapist to treat people, and with ACPAT (Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Animal Therapy) and RAMP (Register of Animal Musculoskeletal Practitioners) as veterinary physiotherapist.
