Hydrotherapy uses the benefits of water buoyancy, resistance, and hydrostatic pressure to support your dog. Used in a controlled environment it provides an optimal setting for physical rehabilitation and cardiovascular conditioning.
πΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎBuoyancy supports your pets body, meaning weight is lifted and they are no longer fighting gravity. This reduces stress on the joints and creates a much safer and supported environment for recovery after surgery.
πΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎResistance increases the force needed to push against it, therefore building muscle strength and co-ordination in a gentle manner. We can alter the dogs movement with belt speed.
πΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎHydrostatic pressure is the force generated from the water column against your dogs body. This increases circulation, therefore increases detoxification. It also dulls nerve endings reducing pain, improves respiratory and reduces swelling.
