South African Animal Physical Rehabilitation Association

Unity Through Diversity

We will work to maintain and strengthen the unity among Veterinary Rehabilitation Professionals, as we create opportunities for membership and growth for all those brought on board and into the profession through the inclusive Grandfather Clause. 

Opportunities for Veterinary Physiotherapists

With the promulgation and registration of Veterinary Physiotherapists under the South African Veterinary Council, we now have the opportunity to pursue greater growth and development for these professionals.

Education of the Public

Education and protection of the public will be achieved by providing access to a directory of registered Veterinary Physiotherapists and authorised Allied Professionals, as well as making resources available on various aspects of Rehabilitation

Promulgation of Future Allied Professions

SAAPRA will work with hydrotherapists to pursue the promulgation of the profession in South Africa, to create opportunities for Continuing Professional Development, accountability, and community growth and initiatives.
