To provide a holistic and integrated service to you and your animals, we need a special team of professions. Each member of the Holisticvet team has their own specialist areas of expertise, but they also understand the need for a holistic and integrated approach to animal healthcare. By sharing the vision of Wellness, the team collaborates to provide you and your animals with a truly holistic and integrative service. This means calling on other team members for input as the need arises, and also working closely with the referring family vet and other specialists.

 Bridget Hammond EBW
BODY WORK
Dogs, horses
Bridget is a qualified equine body worker and is currently doing her externship in myofascial release and canine massage.
She has been working in the field of animal physical rehabilitation for the last 3 years.
In the 7 years that Bridget worked at the Two Oceans Aquarium, she worked with the Seals, Penguins, husbandry of the smaller exhibits in Diversity Hall and Quarantine. While working in Quarantine, she saw the need to start and formalize the Marine Turtle Rehabilitation. Many of her “patients” were 3-4 month old hatchlings as well as sub-adult loggerhead, green, hawksbill and leatherback turtles. This was the beginning of an interest and passion for Animal Physical Rehabilitation.
In December 2005, she took her first course in Equine Sports Massage, through a South African franchise of an American company. Since then she has done further courses in Canine Sports Massage and Myofascial Release and continues to work through their curriculum.
Bridget has also had two years practical training in Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy and Laser Therapy.
Along with the above mentioned modalities, she uses massage, passive range of motion, stretching, cryotherapy, heat therapy and active exercises in her rehab treatment sessions.
