Welcome to the animal rehabilation and performance resource center. This site is dedicated to bringing you the best, most accurate, scientifically-based information about animal rehabilitation and sports performance. We would like to provide a forum for you to ask learn more about this rapidly growing field and to ask your questions. We will be posting a section for resources that I will review prior to listing them here as well as several discussion forums. Be sure to come back often as we update this site. Your suggestions and references are welcome. Please submit them to me at the e-mail on the bottom of this page. In the works for 2004 is an exciting opportunity for postprofessional education in equine rehabilitation!

Dr. Heinrichs was interviewed for an article on Physical Therapy in The Horse publication.
From 2001-2003 I served as the educational chair for the Animal Physical Therapist Special Interest Group of the American Physical Therapy Association. My goal as I planned the annual meetings was to provide a structured, progressive format for clinicians interested in veterinary rehabilitation to obtain an introduction to the knowledge they will need to acquire in order to provide the best care to our animal friends. Since evidence-based practice is crucial in advancing the body of knowledge in an area, the primary annual meeting of the Animal Physical Therapist SIG serves as the best forum for sharing knowledge about clinical case reports and basic/applied research work.
