Yoko Clinch | Veterinarian, Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist
Veterinary Rehabilitation Services

Yoko graduated from Murdoch University in 2004, and started her veterinary career working in mixed practice in rural South Australia.  She moved back to Perth in 2007 and has been working in small animal general practice ever since. In 2009, Yoko attained membership to the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in Veterinary Radiology.  She bought Roleystone Animal Hospital in 2013 in conjunction with one of her friends, and after 3 years of working on and in the practice started to follow her passion for veterinary rehabilitation therapy, becoming qualified as a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist through the Canine Rehab Institute in 2017.  She then set up Veterinary Rehabilitation Services and accepts referrals for patients with impairments in mobility or suffering from significant discomfort. She has treated all sorts of species from lizards and birds to dogs, cats and ferrets. 

In 2020 she organised the establishment of the Veterinary Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation (VSMR) chapter in the Australian & New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists, with both canine and equine subsections.  In 2022 she, along with 6 other veterinarians from Australia and overseas, sat & passed the inaugural membership exams in canine VSMR.  She continues to be the President and Science Week Co-convenor for this chapter, and is also involved in the Exams Evolution & Support Project with the College as part of this.
Yoko has a strong passion for maximising patient comfort, function and ultimately quality of life, with veterinary rehabilitation therapy.
