Physiotherapy may be defined as the use of physical techniques for the treatment of injuries and movement dysfunction. In the world of human medicine, physiotherapy has been proven as an indispensable aid in the recovery of many musculoskeletal conditions, as evidenced by the extensive physiotherapy departments within most hospitals. Nowadays, this important branch of medicine is also rapidly becoming a recognised tool in the prevention, cure, and rehabilitation of many equine, canine and feline injuries. In 1978, canine physical therapy techniques were described by Ann Downer, a physical therapist on faculty at Ohio State University. Animal physical therapy is a new and rapidly developing field of health care for animals. The benefits of physical therapy have long been recognized in humans. More recently, work in the veterinary field has shown the same benefits of physical therapy to be true for animal patients. Performing orthopaedic or neurological surgery, or fitting a human patient with a cast or splint, and then discharging the patient is an outdated approach. In such cases, physical therapy is clearly warranted. Similarly, recent research has shown that post-surgical rehabilitation and therapy after injuries significantly improves the functional outcomes for animals. The goals of physiotherapy are to relieve pain, restore range of motion/movement, improve function, prevent injuries and expand the physical potential of the patient. Once in the field, physical therapists actively continue their education to keep up to date on the latest treatments and technologies. Via continuing education courses, physiotherapists can learn how to apply their unique and specialized knowledge to other animal species.

문제 정의
그렇지만 그 역시 내과적 질환 그리고 통증조절과 같은 목적으로 사용되는 아쉬움이 남는다(김진웅, 2003b). 그러므로 본 논분에서는 동물 물리치료의 기본적인 개념과 다양한 개(犬)물리지료 방법들에 내하여 살펴보고자 함이 그 목적이다.

따라서 향후 수의과대학과 물리치료대학이 상호 협력하여 수의학적 진단과 평가의 방법을 바탕으로 물리치료적 치료방법을 적용할 수 있는 학문적 교류가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 그리고 동물물리치료사를 양성할 수 있는 체계적인 교육 여건이 마련되어 수의사 및 물리치료사들에게도 교육의 기회가 제공되어야 할 것으로 사료된다 마지막으로 개업 수의사들에게 동물물리치료가 수입의 층대 및 의뢰인들에게 다양한 의료적 서비스의 제공이란 측면도 함께 강조되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
현재 우리나라의 실정으로는 수의학 혹은 물리치료학 관련대학에서도 동물(수의)물리치료에대한 관심이 부재인 것 같은 아쉬움이 남는다. 따라서 향후 수의과대학과 물리치료대학이 상호 협력하여 수의학적 진단과 평가의 방법을 바탕으로 물리치료적 치료방법을 적용할 수 있는 학문적 교류가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 그리고 동물물리치료사를 양성할 수 있는 체계적인 교육 여건이 마련되어 수의사 및 물리치료사들에게도 교육의 기회가 제공되어야 할 것으로 사료된다 마지막으로 개업 수의사들에게 동물물리치료가 수입의 층대 및 의뢰인들에게 다양한 의료적 서비스의 제공이란 측면도 함께 강조되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
