Courses Education is a vital part of the service provided at Suttons, both during treatments and by our books, videos, articles and courses. To make the courses as effective as possible for you, courses are offered at two different levels: Introductory (animal owners, school children, mature students) Specialist (Veterinary Surgeons, Registered Osteopaths and Chiropractors, Chartered Physiotherapists) If you are a chartered physiotherapist interested in animal physiotherapy click here Who Gives the Courses Most courses are given by member of the practice team (see individual course details below). For some of the more specialised courses, frequently external lecturers are brought in, in the past we have had lecturers from Ohio, U.S., Australia and New Zealand. Why Should I Attend If you are a practising professional, then you will gain exceptional treatment insights by an established expert. Alternatively, if you are an animal owner or have a love of animals, then one of the non-specialised courses will be an ideal introduction on how to improve the quality of life of your animal.
