The Animal Physical Rehabilitation International Association (APRIA) is dedicated to advancing the knowledge and practice of animal rehabilitation, making it a standard part of veterinary care. Led by Chairman Seiya Kishimoto, APRIA strives to educate both professionals and pet owners about the importance of physical rehabilitation for animals, aimed at enhancing their quality of life (QOL) and longevity.

APRIA offers a variety of services, including educational seminars, certification courses, and a comprehensive animal rehabilitation school designed to equip practitioners with the necessary skills. Their online shop provides accessible resources for both pet owners and veterinarians, including recommended products and services for animal rehabilitation.

Recognizing the gap in awareness and application of animal rehabilitation in Japan compared to Western countries, APRIA is committed to changing perceptions and increasing accessibility to these critical services. Through collaboration among veterinarians, rehabilitation specialists, and pet owners, they aim to normalize animal rehabilitation and promote preventive wellness, ensuring that pets not only live longer but thrive throughout their lives.
