[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text 0=””]Silvia trained as a veterinary nurse in Italy and moved to the UK in 2014 working as neurology nurse at a 24h Hospital. Working closely with the orthopaedic, neurology surgeons and acupuncturist who were offering post-operative physiotherapy and osteoarthritis management, she discovered her passion for physiotherapy. Over the next few years, she gained her Diploma in Animal Physiotherapy and a Level 3 Certificate in Hydrotherapy. She continued working with clients suffering from osteoarthritis and helping to rehabilitate animals suffering from neurological conditions.<\/p>\n
In 2018 she created London Vet Rehab and invented the first Mobile Hydrotherapy unit to work around London and help disabled and elderlies providing physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and nutritional advises.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1616″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1681209473421{padding-top: 30px
