About Hydrotherapy Treatment
There are many known benefits of hydrotherapy and this depends greatly on how the treatment is carried out. For some animals simply floating or swimming gently in water can relieve pain and inflammation. For others a more vigorous exercise technique is used to increase the use of limbs, increase muscle mass and tone, and strengthen the support for joints. Water can als
o be used as a means of supporting dogs in a non weight bearing or partially weight bearing environment to allow movements that would not be possible on land, perhaps because of weakness or injury. Hydrotherapy can be used to treat a number of conditions such as:
• Hip Dysplasia
• Elbow Dysplasia
• Spondylosis
• Osteoarthritis
• Osteochondrosis (OCD)
• Neurological conditions e.g CDRM
• Spinal Cases
• Patella Luxation
• Cruciate Ligament Injury and Surgery
• Joint Replacement Surgery
• Femoral Head and Neck Excision
• Soft Tissue Injury
• Muscle Atrophy (wastage)
• Weight Loss
• Sport Conditioning For Canine Athletes
Hydrotherapy can be used pre (before) and post (after) surgery for many conditions:
• Pre-operative conditioning such as improving muscle tone and mass prior to surgery can be effective and safeguard against further damage to the area. For some dogs the building up of muscle before surgery can improve the dog’s recovery time.
• Post-operative rehabilitation by hydrotherapy can be indicated for a multitude of conditions. Examples include: cruciate surgery, hip replacement, knee surgery and fracture repair. If your dog could benefit from hydrotherapy treatment, either speak with your veterinary surgeon or contact Healing Waters. The health of your pet is of paramount importance at Healing Waters and therefore the strict enforcement of the following rules will be followed at all times:
• Veterinary referral is always required
• We allow ONE dog to swim per session
• Each dog is given a full heath check prior to their session
• Each dog is showered before the session, this is done to stimulate circulation for your pet and to maintain hygiene levels in the pool and treadmill.
• Each dog is showered and dried (either blow or towel dried) post session
• Each animal is provided with an individually tailored treatment program devised by our qualified Hydrotherapist and Veterinary Nurse.

Good morning.
There will be a £1.50 price increase per session from Tuesday 7th May.
We have only had one pay increase since opening in 2016 and have tried to keep our prices as low as possible. Unfortunately inflated running costs and wage increases make it now necessary for this increase.
Thank you for your understanding and custom.
Best wishes

⚡September is Animal Pain Awareness Month ⚡
Animals experience pain just like humans do, but sometimes the signs can be subtle and often overlooked.
Prey species such as rabbits are very good at hiding signs of pain and distress and when those signs become obvious, sadly it may be too late.
Spending time with your pets, being familiar with them and noting any changes in behaviour can make it much easier to recognise any symptoms of pain if they develop so that they can then get the necessary help.
Often elderly pets in pain are overlooked as their symptoms are put down to old age, but their pain can be managed, to help them be as comfortable as possible in their final years.
Signs of pain-
1️⃣ Reduced activity - eg a reluctance to play, carry out normal behaviours or interact
2️⃣ Changes in sleeping patterns - eg excess sleeping or restlessness/unable to settle
3️⃣ Reduced mobility- Avoiding stairs, not jumping, reluctance to go for walks
4️⃣ Changes in appetite
5️⃣ Over-grooming specific areas
6️⃣ Temperament changes - eg growling, hissing, and being defensive when they usually wouldn't
If you feel your pet may be in pain, contact your Vet for further advice.
Well done to Zeus who has been progressing well with weekly hydrotherapy sessions, this is to aid his mobility and improve strength .
Look how fantastic his legs move in the water, must feel wonderful to be completely weightless and let those aches and pains float away…
Today we said a sad farewell to Laura as she leaves us to educate the youth of Great Britain.
Laura has been with us since our doors opened in 2016 and has been pivotal in the growth and success of the business. A truly wonderful Hydrotherapist, colleague and friend.
Good luck for the future Laura, you wil be amazing in your new role 🌟🤩
Dear Clients
We get many requests for dogs to have shampoo after their treatment. We will now be offering a shampoo and blow dry (optional) as an additional service.
This will need to booked prior to your session to ensure we have enough time and space to carry out the additional treatment.
We apologise that this cannot be included for free in your hydrotherapy treatment. This is due to the cost of water, electricity, staff time and shampoo.
Thank you and see you soon !

Good morning clients
There will be a slight increase in cost of treatment from Monday 6th June. This will be a rise of £1.50 per session.
We have not raised our prices since we opened in October 2016 but unfortunately rising costs of electricity and other supplies mean we must now do so.

We’ve had a new aquatic treadmill installed at the centre. We are hoping our patients will approve !
The new model is lower to the floor for easier assess, bigger and has more glass panels; so the dogs can see out as they walk and don’t feel as enclosed.
Huge thank you to Westcoast Hydrotherapy who have supplied and maintained all of the equipment since we opened our doors in 2016. Your hard work and help is much appreciated.
