The McTimoney College of Chiropractic is excited to announce that the second Animal Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Conference will be held in Abingdon on the 10 June 2026.
Following the success of the inaugural 2024 conference, once again there is the opportunity to show-case the latest research in animal chiropractic care and rehabilitation through both platform and poster presentations. Abstracts are invited from all other animal musculoskeletal disciplines including veterinary physiotherapy, osteopathy and veterinary disciplines with relevant new research as well. Clinical research and case studies are welcomed and will be considered by a peer review committee. Abstracts must be submitted by 30 September 2025 and successful applicants will be notified by 16 November 2025. Tickets will be on sale from March 2026.
Principal of the McTimoney College of Chiropractic, Professor Christina Cunliffe says, “Each year, a substantial body of high-quality research is produced, but to truly benefit the profession, it must be peer-reviewed and shared more broadly. As the regulation of animal care continues to evolve, it’s essential that animal chiropractic and rehabilitation of animals is acknowledged as a legitimate and valuable approach alongside other modalities. This presents an excellent opportunity to highlight new and existing research and demonstrate its relevance to animal health and welfare to a wider audience.”
With a proud history spanning over 50 years, the McTimoney College of Chiropractic continues to lead in animal chiropractic education, offering the only university-validated qualification in this field across Europe. As demand for animal chiropractic care grows, so too does the need for highly trained professionals, with graduates from the College in high demand globally.
Operating from training centres in Abingdon, Manchester, Madrid, and Hong Kong, the College is seeing record interest in its programmes. Programme Leader Vanessa Davidson explains, “McTimoney animal chiropractic is a gentle and effective approach, well-received by a variety of species. Our graduates regularly work in multidisciplinary teams alongside vets, physiotherapists, and other professionals to support animal performance, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.” She adds, “We’re passionate about sharing our work, and the research produced by our graduates each year plays a vital role in advancing the scientific understanding of animal health and welfare.”
We welcome abstract submissions from professionals in animal chiropractic, physiotherapy, osteopathy, and veterinary medicine. This is a great opportunity to share research, case studies, or clinical insights that support integrative approaches and advance animal health and welfare.
