Did you know we also offer LED therapy?

🐾 What is LED therapy?
LED therapy is to accelerate the body’s natural healing process, LED therapy involves directing infrared radiation into irritated or injured tissues.

🐾 What are the benefits?
There are many potential reported benefits to LED therapy:
- anti-inflammatory effects
- mild pain relief
- accelerated tissue repair
- soothing muscle tension
- faster wound healing
- reduction of scar tissue
- improved nerve function

🐾 what will happen to my pet?
You should expect your pet to require several sessions of LED therapy in most cases.
The LED is non painful and only produces a light-warming sensation.
The head of the LED machine is held directly over the area to be treated for the scheduled treatment duration, usually 3-10 minutes.

If you are interested in adding this into your dogs rehabilitation plan then get in contact today!

My own experience…

As some of you may know I was diagnosed with hip dysplasia when I was around 15/16 years old.

I found myself getting very sore in hips and it started to become very difficult for me to do exercise.

Once I was diagnosed I was sent off to do physiotherapy but unfortunately that just didn’t do anything for me. I then tried steroid injections which again didn’t help.

Our last option was surgery. The surgeon was quite reluctant to do it as I only had 1/3 of a chance it working, 1/3 of a chance it getting worse or 1/3 of a chance it staying the same.

I decided to risk it and luckily it did work for so was able to have both hips.

As this wasn’t a hip replacement which would’ve completely helped my pain but was more of an operation to help me get through life now until I’m old enough for a replacement, I do still get sore.

I usually feel pain around this sort of time as the temperature has dropped and I find myself getting colder easier meaning a tense up. I especially need more layers in this weather which means all your lovely pups also need layers in this weather.

If I suggest a jumper or drying robe for your dog it is because I am speaking from experience. If I go outside after being in the pool without my layers then I start to tense and become sore.

The pool is set to the prime temperature to be able to warm up and allow your dogs muscles to freely move and relax. By letting them go outside in the cold weather after their session you are undoing all the work we have just done.

Layers are important 🐶

Rory's last mobility session! Rory has officially completed his 6 week mobility course and will now move onto hydrotherapy.

To make this session a bit more fun we decided to create an obstacle course.

Heres what we did:

Forelimbs on step, hind limbs on wobble cushion

Obstacle course - over pole on first hole, sit to stands, over pole on first hole, forelimbs up on block

At the end since he was doing so well we decided to do forelimbs on step and hind limbs on wobble cushion with wobble cushion being moved around to add more instability.

Rory done amazing with this and his improvement is just amazing.

How to know whether to go to a hydrotherapy centre or a fun pool?

Unfortunately recently I had a dog come to me who had gone to a dog swimming pool after an injury and ended up coming out worse and had caused further injury than before they went.

The owner is aware that the pool they went to was NOT a hydrotherapy pool but they felt that at the time they were doing right for their dog and while the owners of the pool hadn’t mentioned anything they didn’t understand what they were getting into.

There are many new hydrotherapy and fun pools opening up and whilst they are an excellent way to safely exercise your dog it is important for owners to know the differences between them.

Hydrotherapy pool:

- always heated between 28-32 degrees, prime temperature for engaging their muscles
- qualified hydrotherapist in the pool
- built for helping those pre/post surgery, after an injury and even instead of surgery.

Fun pool:

- these can vary between indoor and outdoor. Some may be heated some may not be
- excellent place for you to teach your dog how to swim in a safe environment
- great place if owners want to swim alongside their dog
- many will allow multiple dogs in the pool at once so can be good for doggy parties.

The most important part is knowing when your dog will need a hydrotherapy pool or a fun swimming pool.

If you’re dog has any sort of condition whether this be hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, cruciate disease, arthritis, spinal injury, pre/post surgery or muscle strain/injury then you’re dog will require a hydrotherapy pool. A hydrotherapist goes through years of training to ensure they can assist and provide treatment to these conditions.

If you’re dog is clinically healthy and just needs a bit of extra fitness or even confidence in water then a fun swimming pool is the place for them!

If you are unsure how to know what will be best for you’re dog or even knowing how to look for a registered hydrotherapy centre or know if it’s a fun swim pool then drop me an email at [email protected] 🐶

Meet Sebbi! Sebbi is a reactive German shepherd who has unfortunately been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Sebbi has been coming to me for some victory visit sessions to help him get used to being around me and building a relationship with me. Well today he went for a swim! This was sebbi's first swimming session with me. Despite being reactive he does take treats off me and is comfortable being in the pool with me. The use of the lead in the pool is not usual practice for me but is being used for both mine and Sebbi's safety. 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 #cambridgehydrotherapycentre #fearfreepets #hydrotherapycentre #rehabilitationfordogs #swimming #fearfree #doginjuries #massagefordogs #rehabilitation #dog #arthritis #dogrehab #dogswimming #fitness #hydrotherapyfordogs #caninehydrotherapy #dogs #Hydrotherapy
