I think for Figgy, swimming is her favourite time of the week! we certainly have a few other dogs who are this excited about their weekly visits as well!
Lots of relaxation and release from this boy during his treatment!
Been a busy few weeks with lots of lovely animals!
Jasper here loves his sessions and is perfectly demonstrating some release symptoms from his session!
🐾 What owners see when bringing their dog to hydrotherapy?
Their dogs enjoying their session, moving freely and comfortable!
🐾 What does a hydrotherapist see when we swim your dog?
We are constantly looking at the range of movement in each joint, how does it compare to the other side, or what is normal for this particular dog and how does that compare with the ‘normal’ range for that breed/ size/ age? How much are they using their legs? We will do certain things to improve movement, tricks of the trade to get them moving better and using limbs better.
How much are they using their core? Are they lazy going round corners which may show weakness in particular areas? Do they power round a corner or are they drifting? Also are they favouring one side, which side is more comfortable for them? This may show areas to improve!
This is just a tiny amount that goes through our heads while your dog is swimming! We manipulate the session to tailor it to your dog so they get the best from their treatment!

Beautiful Bailee loves her tennis balls and her play or treat time after her sessions!
When treating your dog, we always look at how we can improve their balance, coordination, condition and general fitness.
We treat many dogs who have ongoing issues but we also do have dogs who are medically sound. Improving these niggles and strengthening and conditioning in the correct way means less chance of issues arising later in life.
We do little things to help your dog get the best out of swimming, this can be prevention of rolling in the water, encouragement to use their back legs properly and also engage their core. All of these mean that they get the best out of their swim and go on to be better for it.
Your dogs health is important to us!
This wonderful boy loves his swimming, I have never met a dog like him, such a character.
I have had the pleasure of treating him for almost 3 years now, both in and out the water! 🐾
Introducing our pool room! 🏊♀️
Im so pleased with how its turned out and the doggies that have been swimming in it so far have been loving it!
One of the first to use the pool of course had to be our 13 year old lab!
Tess loves her swimming and is such a graceful swimmer. Unfortunately, with her age she does suffer with Arthritis and even though she doesn’t let much stop her, she does struggle with mobility and stiffness. We notice a huge improvement in her day to day life when she is having regular sessions, she is able to move better and with less stiffness, with hydrotherapy and physiotherapy we hope she can continue to enjoy her daily walks.

Some patients just amaze you with their recovery!
This boy has been through a lot, not only is was he contending with arthritis and muscle wastage on his right hind but he also underwent spinal surgery to alleviate a disc extrusion. That was only 9 months ago..
Animals are truly amazing with their attitude to recovery! Besides look at him acing his exercises - he’s such a pro now he knows the routine!
I love my job 😍
✨When asked why I do the job I do, its for moment like these! ✨
Arti is a lovely 11 year old German Shepherd has suffered unfortunately with arthritis through her shoulder, hips and stifles (knees) also while battling with lower back pain and Spondylosis (degeneration of the spine).
Recently, she underwent surgery following Spleen rupture and subsequently had that removed, at the time nodules were found on her Liver that, following a biopsy, came back as cancerous. She had her first Chemotherapy treatment last week and I am so thrilled and amazed at this super dog!
Due to her surgery she also wasnt advised to take her normal painkillers she would have to manage her OA and orthopaedic conditions which meant we were in for a battle to try and manage her pain and get her moving again!
I have been seeing Arti twice a week for physiotherapy as, as you can see in the first video she really struggled supporting herself and was very sore and tight. The second video was filmed on Monday - only 3 weeks after her surgery and she just gets better each time I see her!
She still has a long way to go but both owner and I are so thrilled with her improvement and overall will power!

Nothing like a bit of poll tension release!
Tension carried through the body can often manifest into the head neck and poll. Today, Coalman was carrying a lot of tightness through his right side and really enjoyed that release!
Pretty good day in the office! 😍
