ABOUT GC VET PHYSIO
GC Veterinary Physiotherapy is owned and run by Greta Cicognani. Greta is originally from Italy and decided to move to England in 2016 to be able to become a Veterinary Physiotherapist.

Greta is now a fully qualified and insured Veterinary Physiotherapist and is a member of the National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists (NAVP).
Greta works within a multidisciplinary team of vets, saddlers, farriers, nutritionists and other professionals with the common goal to improve animal welfare. To be able to keep up to date with progresses and developments of the animal field, Greta follows and completes CPDs (Continuing Professional Development) which will help her managing her own learning and growth.
