Abstract

Despite the Egyptian country's efforts to develop animal health care, the field of physiotherapy for animals in Egypt does not receive any attention from the country, and even a simple course is not taught about it so far in the Egyptian faculties of veterinary medicine. Veterinary physiotherapy is a specialty of veterinary medicine that is growing in popularity across the world. The extensive studies that have been conducted thus far not only verify the multiple therapeutic advantages of animal physiotherapy but also suggest that it is gaining popularity. Rehabilitation is a crucial part of physiotherapy, and it is the process of assisting an animal suffering from an illness or injury to regain the best degree of functioning, independence, and quality of life possible. Animal physiotherapy courses must be taught to the students of Egyptian veterinary faculties. Animal physiotherapy courses must include methods for evaluating the animal's physical condition. It must also contain the practical training necessary to create an accurate physiotherapy program for animal rehabilitation. It is possible and even easy for Egyptian veterinary colleges to follow the example of a country like Britain in this field.
