Introduction

In this webinar, Ansi will be discussing how the principles of chronic pain management in animals can help clinicians achieve better outcomes for human patients within their care. Dealing with chronic pain in animals is a complex process involving observation, negotiation, coaching, clinical reasoning and play. After 20 years of working with both human and animal patients in outpatient settings, Ansi has learnt that working with animal patients makes for a better “human” physio! No pre-reading is required, the participant can complete Ansi's courses on Plus to gain extra knowledge on animal physiotherapy if interested.

Featured reviews
I found this course to be exceptionally helpful in considering non-verbal patients and relating experiences with treating animals who are also non-verbal. I learned about using the patient network, not just significant other, to assist with care support!

This was a great Webinar! I have learnt that there are setting things you can do such as setting the environment or offering something like water that can influence the outcome of a session with a patient. It also helped me to consider carefully selecting cues for positive reinforcement when treating patients, indeed some patients can respond negatively when as a therapist, you correct their bad forms when performing certain exercises.
