A recent Veterinary Record correspondence explores how veterinary physiotherapy can contribute to the One Health vision—advancing animal welfare while reducing the environmental footprint of care.

From managing chronic conditions to supporting sustainable rehabilitation, the paper highlights how physiotherapy-based interventions can reduce reliance on pharmaceuticals and resource-intensive treatments, offering a low-impact, high-benefit approach that aligns with ecological and public health priorities.

This perspective invites greater collaboration between veterinary, physiotherapy, and environmental health disciplines, positioning veterinary physiotherapy as both a clinical and environmental asset.
