Dog Hydrotherapy encourages muscle contraction and joint movement with limited weight bearing. This is especially useful in arthritic patients.

Dog Hydrotherapy: Pool Therapy

We uses two methods:

  • Underwater treadmills allow active use of muscles, appropriate gaiting patterning and enhanced cardiovascular fitness while taking advantage of the buoyancy of water to reduce weight bearing stresses. Dogs in rehabilitation exercise in higher water levels, which are reduced as fitness returns and the dog takes on more weight bearing exercises.
  • Pool Therapy gently exercises every muscle of the dog' body helping them to rebuild and/or maintain cardiovascular fitness. Exercising in water allows early active motion in the post operative period.
