About Me

Poppy Le Peuple

BSc (Hons) MSc MCSP MNAVP

I am a Veterinary Physiotherapist and Chartered (human) Physiotherapist living in Hampshire. I grew up around a menagerie of animals, smelling of the sweet perfume of horses, fighting the dead-weight of snoring, dreaming canines on the duvet, and clearing cats from the kitchen table to eat breakfast.

​

Following my love of animals I attended Sparsholt College and completed a National Diploma in Animal Management. After having an Equine Bodyworker to treat my then problem horse and seeing the tremendous effect her work had on relieving her pain, I decided I wanted to channel my studies into rehabilitation and pursue a career promoting the welfare of animals.
​

When my grandmother needed to have Physiotherapy on her broken shoulder, I watched the physiotherapist working and continued going through her exercise programme. The rewards I felt from seeing her achieve an increase in range of movement and pain reducing widened my eyes to the effects of physiotherapy. ​

​

Following this, I attended Barton Peveril College to achieve the Science grades needed to complete a BSc in Physiotherapy, which I went on to do at The University of Southampton. From there I became a Chartered Physiotherapist, and have spent time working in the community and within the acute team of a hospital, as well as doing voluntary work in Sri Lanka.

Finally, I attained my MSc in veterinary physiotherapy at Writtle University College in 2019. My work is now split between time in the NHS and treating animals 

​

When not working, I'm usually found outside spending time with my animals; my two horses Lizzie and Ruby, Dolly the dog and Smeagol our Sphynx cat who comes on lots of adventures with us!  I also have an art business 'Poppits' on the side doing sculptures and illustrations of pets.
