Dr. Ginny Carlson graduated from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in 2007 and has been working in small animal practice. She was born and raised in El Dorado County. In 1994 she became an active participant in dog agility. In 2011, she restored her passion by engaging in dog agility once more. During an agility camp, she had a brief encounter with a veterinarian who specialized in veterinary rehabilitation, which rekindled her dreams in sports medicine and rehabilitation. She started with her certification in Veterinary Medical Acupuncture at the CuraCore facility in Colorado (130 hours). She continued with a certification course (104 hours) for rehabilitation at the Canine Rehabilitation Institute in Colorado which included a forty-hour internship; a portion of that time spent at the Veterinary Orthopedic Sports Medicine Group (VOSM). She enrolled in a certification course (226 hours) for spinal manipulation at the Healing Oasis Wellness Center in Wisconsin. She also completed a certification course (110 hours) in a Botanical Medicine course. All of these certification courses combined required almost 600 hundred hours of rigorous coursework in addition to hands-on training and testing. She rounded out her educational addendum by completing Aquatic Therapy in Canine Rehabilitation and Business of Canine Rehabilitation courses. After satisfying her educational goals, she sought to create a specialty center where these skills could be utilized, developed, and perfected
