The gorgeous Beatrix has been for her 5th session today. Her musculature is showing signs of increasing.
Watch her video to see what she gets up to in her sessions. You can see at the start she's not as comfortable on her right hind but with an increase in the water level and some aids she starts using it much more evenly. You can also see the difference in her movement in a controlled environment compared to when she's doing her own thing on land.

This beautiful girl is Beatrix. Check out to see her full story. She was found dumped in a bin with awful injuries to her right front and back legs. She now has the best home with Hayley, a vet nurse .uk
She has been under the care of .referrals and and we are now the last part of her rehab journey.
We look forward to keeping you updated on her progress...

Meet Rory. He is the most adorable chap. He makes us all laugh so much with his expressions...Rory suffers with elbow and hip issues. The support of the water enables him to use his limbs more purposefully, helping to increase muscle tone. Like a lot of dogs with hip issues, Rory compensates by using his back rather than his hips and abdominal muscles on land. In this session we are using a 'belly wrap' on him to try and encourage him to use his tummy muscles. Once he's got over the 'what an earth are you doing to me woman' he moved so much better. Good boy Rory. We look forward to your next visit.

Darcie comes to us for treatment for her hip dysplasia. Her right back leg is her worst. She has learnt to compensate with her left leg. In the first video you can see her strides are uneven and she's rushing with her left back leg. After adding some aids to her legs and core you can see in the last video how more even her movements are. With some dogs we can use hand touches to achieve even movement. With Darcie she reacts to touches and over compensates in the opposite direction, so the use of aids helps her to achieve better symmetry on her own.

The gorgeous Bea. What a sweetheart she is. She's been referred to us with severe hip dysplasia to her right back leg.
In the 3rd picture you can see how balanced her tail is to the left to try and shift weight off her bad leg. Then in the 4th picture with the support of the water her tail is much more relaxed.
Walking through water in our under water treadmill is encouraging Bea to walk using her back legs more evenly. This will result in increasing the muscle on her bad leg, which will make her more comfortable on land.

The gorgeous and confident Joop came to us on Friday for his first session following spinal surgery . He has done a super job with the help of his mum getting back on his feet but needs some extra help to get himself stronger. He was such a superstar taking it all in his stride.
We think he will be super excited to see us next week

Charlie working hard during his session. On land he can look stiff through his hips and stifles when walking slowly. He had surgery to correct a medially luxating patella on his right hind aged 2. (Now 11) He has had hydrotherapy and physiotherapy on and off since his surgery, along with always taking joint supplements, and has never needed any pain relief.

If you think hydrotherapy could help your dog please get in touch.

Over the fields at Cwm Farm today...beautiful

Very important for rehabilitation to not be a last resort...speak to your vet about a referral for hydrotherapy treatment before you start to really see the signs of your dog starting to struggle....
