Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is considered the cornerstone of canine rehabilitation. It is a vital part of a healing program because the benefits are significant. Exercise in our underwater treadmill can improve your dog's strength, flexibility, endurance, agility, function and well-being. It can also decrease healing time and pain.

Hydrotherapy is a flexible therapeutic modality, which can progress from buoyant to resistive exercise, even to vigorous activity levels, by varying the water depth, speed and duration. This modality is indicated in dogs that have musculoskeletal or neurological dysfunction, or anytime a dog has weakness, lameness, limited motion, proprioceptive disability or decreased weight bearing. This therapy is particularly effective as part of a post-operative program for orthopedic procedures. Hydrotherapy can also be a great resource to help overweight dogs in losing weight, which is crucial to their overall health and prevention of injury. The therapy is versatile, easy and fun!
