    About me

    Jane Norton APAM

    Bachelor of Physiotherapy (2008 – Latrobe)
    APA Level 2 Animal Physiotherapy

    Animal Physiotherapy, like human Physiotherapy, is adaptable to many conditions. It is this adaptability and variety which keeps Jane enthusiastic in her physiotherapy of many different species, be it 2 limbs, 4 limbs or winged!

    Jane has always had a keen interest in how things work, which lead her into anatomy and physiotherapy – to help make those things work better again! For 10 years, Jane worked in a private practice in Bundoora, treating a wide range of conditions including sports injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, vestibular issues, women’s health conditions, chronic low back pain, overuse injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation and even Clinical Pilates.

    Jane is also very passionate about animals and their welfare, and in 2011 branched off into Animal Physiotherapy. While learning about the similarity of their body structures and animal behaviour, her passion evolved and she decided to expand from treating humans to include domesticated animals, with an emphasis on dogs and horses.

    Animal Physiotherapy is a relatively unknown profession, despite being practised in Australia for many years. Domesticated animals for pets and sport are widespread throughout our community, and these animals experience similar injuries and overuse conditions as we do. Just as we would see a physiotherapist for rehabilitation following knee surgery or for an overworked lower back, our animals also have this opportunity, to enable daily optimal functioning and recovery.
