The CCRP formation is developed using the same strict guidelines typically associated with university accredited programs. Therefore, it is taught by a faculty that includes active university instructors, expert clinicians, researchers, and recognized industry experts. The curriculum draws from ongoing research, evidence based case studies, clinical experience, and leading companies in the fields of veterinary medicine.
The structure and schedules of the CCRP-Program guide the professional from the theoretical foundations to the clinical applications of canine rehabilitation (it is basically also applicable to cat’s rehabilitation). Therefore, it consists of a sequence of postgraduate online lectures, followed by hands on lab sessions, an externship by an already certified professional, and the submission of thoroughly documented case studies, prior to attend to the final cumulative examination.
The high standards for admission and rigorous, yet exciting, curriculum assure graduates that the CCRP credential is recognized as the premiere program in canine rehabilitation.
Depending upon individual country restrictions, the CCRP program may be available to a variety of professionals, mainly veterinarians, veterinary technicians, (human) physical therapists, (human) physical therapy assistants, occupational therapists and actively enrolled students in one these fields.
Please note in Germany, Austria and South America attendees need to be veterinarians to attend the CCRP-Program in Munich or Vienna, as these locations are ATF accredited. For veterinary nurses/technicians we offer the VMPT – Course (Veterinärmedizinische/r Physiotherapeut/in – www.tier-physiotherapeuten.de).
Summary:
The Canine I – Course covers a variety of main topics. It reviews among others regulatory issues involved in this field of practice from the perspective of (human) physical therapists and veterinarians in the U.S.A..
It further comprises the adaptive response of the musculoskeletal tissues to disuse and remobilization, the influence of certain medications on this process and its clinical application to the science of veterinary physical rehabilitation.
An overview of anatomy of the canine musculoskeletal system is covered explaining also main differences between the species (human vs. dog).
Further subjects of Canine I – Course are the performance of an orthopedic and neurologic examination in dogs followed by commonly seen orthopedic and neurological conditions in dogs presented in a veterinary clinic and its used therapeutic interventions. A topic is also the importance of collaboration between the team members involved in a veterinary physical therapy to achieve best clinical results.
The Canine I – Course concludes with some advices of “how to get started” in the field of Veterinary Rehabilitation in the U.S.A..

Prerequsites: This course is mandatory for veterinarians, physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, veterinary technicians, occupational therapists and actively enrolled students in these fields.*
Summary:
Canine II VET – Course will provide the participant an overview of the pathophysiological process of inflammation (acute and chronic) in a musculoskeletal tissue and its clinical recognition.
Main subject in Canine II VET – Course is the description of selected physical agent modalities implemented in veterinary physical medicine. It covers their scientific fundamentals and biological effects in clinical applications, this verified by presented evidence based studies. Superficial heating and cooling agents, therapeutic ultrasound, extra corporeal shock wave treatment, therapeutic laser (class 3b and IV) and electrical therapy (TENS/NEMS).
As an adaptation to continuously new evidence outcomes in the field, two subjects were recently included in the Canine II VET - program, namely the therapy stem cells and regenerative medicine as well as the implementation of targeted pulsed electromagnetic field.

Summary:
Introducing therapeutic modalities prior to Canine IV (Presence days) allows the participant to record his questions for faculty to address before turning on therapeutic machines or treating a dog with the underwater treadmill. The obligatory completion of the online lectures (Canine I, Canine II VET and Canine III VET) prior to Canine IV ensures also each participant has the review necessary to keep the flow of the class steady.
The Presence Days provide hands-on coursework in small groups, tutored by leading specialists in the field and supervised by university members being diplomates in the field.
A palpation lab on live dogs is included to review important anatomical structures for physical rehabilitation. Orthopedic and neurological evaluation/assessment of the rehabilitation patient will also be reviewed and performed with supervision.
The participant will further receive hands-on training of selected physical agent modalities used in canine physical rehabilitation. The following physical agents will be covered: superficial heating and cooling agents, electrical therapies (TENS/NEMS), therapeutic laser, mechanical therapies (for example: massage techniques, therapeutic ultrasound, shock wave therapy) and therapeutic exercise (including underwater treadmill rehabilitation).
Training in design and implementation of a comprehensive rehabilitation program for commonly seen orthopedic and neurologic conditions in the dog. A real case study approach will be utilized teaming participants, concluding with the presentation of the clinical case and their chosen rehabilitation program to the rest of the attendees. Supervised treatment of real cases with rehabilitation programs designed by the attendees.

Summary:
The purpose of the University of Tennessee Canine Osteoarthritis Case Manager Certificate Course is to improve the care and quality of life of dogs with osteoarthritis by having a designated case manager to help guide treatment and communicate with the owner.
Osteoarthritis is a common and significant condition; approximately 20% of all adult dogs are afflicted. This course is designed to help identify dogs with this debilitating disease earlier to allow treatment designed to improve clinical function and extend quality of life. This program embraces the multimodal treatment of arthritis and provides an evidence-based approach to treatment options.
Further, this course embraces the team approach to osteoarthritis, recognizing the valuable roles of the veterinarian, veterinary technician, and owner in managing each case.
In particular, veterinary technicians play a major role in managing these chronic patients for their lifetime. They interact with veterinarians and owners to be certain that patients are receiving optimal treatment and owners are informed and educated about the treatment options for their pets and receive appropriate follow-up care. Treatment compliance and appropriate care of patients are most effective when clients receive appropriate education and regular communication from their pet‘s case manager. Veterinary technicians will be uniquely equipped to perform these functions upon successful completion of this course.
The OA program consists of 7 modules:
