Megan Hunt

Hello, my name is Megan and I am the owner and veterinary physiotherapist at Pace Therapy.

​

I have always had a deep love for animals and feel incredibly proud to be able to offer professional physiotherapy services to support dogs in their recovery, performance, and long-term wellbeing.

​

My academic background began with a BSc in Sports Therapy at the University of Essex, where I gained a strong foundation in anatomy, biomechanics, and rehabilitation. I then went on to complete an MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy at Writtle University College, working with both dogs and horses. For two years, I combined treating people, horses, and dogs, before deciding to focus exclusively on dogs, where my true passion lies.

​

My interest in animal rehabilitation developed from a young age. While completing my A-Levels, I gained experience in a variety of clinical settings, including a veterinary practice, a private physiotherapy clinic, and rotations within an NHS hospital physiotherapy department. These experiences confirmed that while human physiotherapy was not for me, sports therapy and veterinary physiotherapy allowed me to combine my interests and work closely with animals in a meaningful way.

​

I have grown up with dogs all my life and was introduced to the world of dog agility at a very young age, competing for the first time at just four years old. Being involved in agility has given me a strong understanding of the physical demands placed on the canine body, as well as the importance of conditioning, injury prevention, and performance management.

​

My first agility dog of my own, Dude, a little rescue dog taught me a huge amount, particularly patience. Sadly, he had to retire after three seasons due to a spinal injury. At 16, I trained my second dog, Thyme, entirely on my own. Together, we progressed from beginner level through to top competition, representing Team GB and winning the Senior Olympia Agility Stakes in 2019. Thyme played a significant role in inspiring my career in veterinary physiotherapy. I am now training my young dog, Wicked, and hope she can follow in her footsteps.

​

Alongside dogs, I have always had a love for horses and started riding at the age of six. While balancing horses alongside my agility career was challenging, my passion has never left me. Since moving from Kent to Lincolnshire, I have been able to reconnect with horses and now enjoy spending time with my pony, Nina.

​

At Pace Therapy, my aim is to provide calm, evidence-based, and compassionate physiotherapy tailored to each individual dog, working closely with veterinary surgeons and owners to achieve the best possible outcomes.
