Kinesiology Taping
The kinesiology tape is modelled on skin characteristics and can transmit positive sensory information to the body.
The tape aims to act on the five major physiological compartments of the body: skin, fascia (connective tissue), muscle, joints and the lymphatic system. The technique used to apply the tape depends on what therapeutic effect you want to achieve.
This can assist in:
Pain reduction
Lymphatic system activation
Proprioceptive aid
Providing support
Reduction of scar tissue.
PRICES
Mileage
A small travel charge may be charged if distance exceeds 25 miles from RH1 5SA or requires travelling into London boroughs.
If Siobhan sees more than one animal in the same location such charges will be split evenly between the animals.
The travel charge will be waived if Siobhan sees three or more animals at one location.
VETERINARY REFERRAL AND CONSENT
In accordance with the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966, it is a legal requirement to obtain veterinary consent prior to the treatment of an injured animal or an animal that has a diagnosed condition*.
*Patients do not require veterinary referral if treatments are for maintenance or fitness purposes only.
This is quick and easy to do. You can either download my veterinary referral form from the links below and give this to your vet to sign either in person or via email, or alternatively you can call your vet and verbally ask for their permission and sign the declaration form confirming you have received consent.
If in doubt, contact Siobhan to directly contact your veterinary surgeon on your behalf.
