BENEFITS OF HYDROTHERAPY

  • Increased range of movement

  • Improved circulation

  • Cardiovascular fitness

  • Relief of pain, swelling & stiffness

  • Improves mental well being

  • Maintain muscle & strength

  • Helps speed up recovery

​

Treatment in the water reduces stress on the dogs joints encouraging full range of joint motion which in turn encourages improved muscle tone & promotes tissue repair.

​

The warm water helps promote circulation & increase the rate of recovery. The hydro-static pressure of the water can also reduce pain & have an anti inflammatory effect. 

​

It can improve a dogs mental well being particularly following trauma, injury or surgery or when a dog is on restricted exercise. A dog being able to move freely in the water & have fun helps a dogs positive mental attitude which helps recovery. This also helps owners who can find it difficult when their dog is either convalescing or unable to exercise normally.
