CRCG Team

Meet the CRCG Team

Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapists/Practitioners (CCATs/CCRTs/CCRPs) are veterinarians and physical therapists who evaluate and treat dogs with health problems resulting from injury, disease, aging, or obesity. Rehabilitation therapists also provide support in conditioning for sport and show dogs.

Rehabilitation veterinary technicians assist the supervising therapist in evaluating patients and performing prescribed therapies, keeping patient records up-to-date and accurate, and educating clients on how to perform home exercises.

At CRCG, all of our expert therapists are licensed and certified by the North Carolina State University (NC State), Canine Rehabilitation Institute (CRI), or the University of Tennessee (UT) within a year of joining us. These unique programs are designed to meet the needs of the veterinarian, veterinary technician/veterinary nurse, and physical therapists interested in the field of canine rehabilitation.
