.

The 12th Symposium for the International Association of Veterinary Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy is to be held between Thursday 31 October – 2 November 2024 in Cape Town, one of the most beautiful cities in South Africa. We will also be offering a virtual experience to delegates who are unable to attend in person.

The International Association of Veterinary Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy (IAVRPT) is an organisation bringing together scientists, educators, clinicians, and policymakers to stimulate and support the study of veterinary rehabilitation and physical therapy and to translate that knowledge into improved animal rehabilitation worldwide.

The IAVRPT Symposium is held in partnership with the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Physical Therapy (ACPAT) and hosted by SAAPRA With 3 days of world-class lectures with small animal and equine streams running side by side, this symposium will serve as a strong networking platform to build and foster collaborative research and enhance communication between the academic field and clinical practice. Pre-symposium Equine and Canine wet labs will also be available.
