Natasha Barnes - Veterinary Physiotherapist
From a young age Natasha has had a keen interest in animal medicine and biomechanics. After finishing school Natasha completed a diploma in animal management and become a kennel assistant at Nine Lives Vets. Once completing her course, Natasha was offered an apprenticeship to fulfil her dreams of working in the veterinary industry and training to become a registered veterinary nurse. In 2014 Natasha become a fully qualified registered veterinary nurse. Working within a busy practice and nursing orthopaedic and neurological patients inspired Natasha to advance her knowledge into biomechanics and orthopaedic recovery. This lead to Natasha wanting to specialise and train in physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Natasha trained with Justo Development to achieve a level 6 diploma in Small Animal Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation accredited by ABC awards. She is fully insured and a member of RAMP (The Register of Animal Musculoskeletal practitioners) which requires practitioners to continue professional development by completing a certain amount of training hours each year.
