Education
An animal generally must have a diagnosis and referral by a veterinarian to start a physical therapy regime. A certified canine rehabilitation practitioner (CCRP) performs physical therapy. A certified veterinary technician (CVT) may also perform physical therapy techniques if they have been trained and are supervised by a CCRP.
Several programs exist to obtain a CCRP certification. These programs focus on training individuals to apply physical therapy techniques to animals while minimizing discomfort. CCRP certification courses can last from 6 months to one year depending on the program chosen and offer a certification exam at the end of the program.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“I am not describing a distant utopia, but the kind of education which must be the great urgent work of our time. By the end of this decade, unless the work is well along, our opportunity will have slipped by.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“In England, I was quite struck to see how forward the girls are made—a child of 10 years old, will chat and keep you company, while her parents are busy or out etc.—with the ease of a woman of 26. But then, how does this education go on?—Not at all: it absolutely stops short.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
