In this episode of "Taking Back the Reins," I'm joined by Gillian Leong, an animal physiotherapist with a remarkable journey of resilience and reinvention. Gillian shares her inspiring story of overcoming chronic illness and redefining her career to work with animals. We discuss the power of trust, resilience, and the role of gratitude in shaping their paths.
Gillian's credentials are: BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy, MSc Veterinary Physiotherapy, MCSP, HCPC registered, Category A member of ACPAT, RAMP
After graduating from Glasgow Caledonian University with an honours degree in Physiotherapy, Gillian worked for many years in the NHS as a Chartered Physiotherapist.
In 2018, Gillian decided to follow a long-held desire to work with animals and secured a place on the veterinary physiotherapy masters degree course at Liverpool University which she gained with distinction. During her studies, Gillian has developed her knowledge and understanding of physiotherapy application to all animals and has treated horses, dogs, cats and even a goat and roe deer. Gillian set up her physiotherapy business, ‘The Animal Physiotherapist’ and also established and leads the physiotherapy service at ‘The Roundhouse Veterinary Hospital’ in Glasgow.
Animals have always played an important role in Gillian’s life with her dogs being important members of the family. Dog related adventures have included competing at Championship level in agility, Therapet visits to care homes and as support to university students during exams, participating in the Kennel club’s good citizen award scheme and being a puppy boarder for ‘Guide Dogs’. Gillian has relished the opportunity to spend more time with horses, building on time spent previously with ‘Riding for the Disabled’. Gillian currently lives in Edinburgh with her husband, young twins and dogs.
During this episode you'll discover how Gillian's experience with her dog and the lessons she learned from animals helped her navigate adversity, rediscover her passion, and rebuild her life.
This conversation emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself, taking that first step, and following one's instincts to achieve their dreams.
Join Gillian and I in this empowering conversation that highlights the transformative power of resilience and the remarkable bond between humans and animals.
