We are full members of the Canine Hydrotherapy Association (CHA) that ensure high standards of treatment, operation, training, supervision, first aid, record keeping and water quality. This allows veterinary surgeons, pet insurance companies and - most importantly the dog owner - to use a CHA approved centre with confidence. Hydrotherapy is an excellent form of exercise as most of the muscles norm
ally used in movement can be achieved without the stresses when performed on land. It benefits many conditions such as:
Strengthening muscles
Reducing inflammation of injured joints and damaged tissues
Improving and maintaining quality of life
Relieving the compensatory limb tension
Assisting mobility and flexibility
Decreasing pain and relieving discomfort
Speeding recovery time after surgery
and slowing degenerative processes, to name a few.

Amazing work from Millie 👏🏼
She’s a 3 year old Vizsla with an iliopsoas strain and mild hip dysplasia of her left hip. She began treatment with 0.5cm deficit to her left hind and after Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, she is now balanced and has increased strength in all limbs!
A huge good luck to all at Crufts this year! A particular shout out to the handsome Baxter and Levi, who are both showing this weekend. They’ve been attending Hydro for fitness sessions to help increase and tone their muscle development to help them look their best. They’re such lovely dogs, we wish them and their owners the best of luck 🥇

Benefits of a Physiotherapy Assessment -
Lameness is a common health and welfare concern within the canine population and accurate assessment is critical for successful treatment and rehabilitation. A fundamental part of any lameness assessment or gait analysis allows the Physiotherapist to identify the presence of any gait abnormalities and determine the nature and severity of it and determine the efficacy of attempts to localise or treat the lameness.
This involves a clinical assessment to identify any musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory and/or bio mechanical dysfunction that could potentially limit optimal function and performance.
Following assessment, a treatment plan is determined consisting of evidence-based interventions including manual therapy, electrotherapy, exercise therapy, education and advice to facilitate optimal rehabilitation.
Within human and veterinary medicine, Physiotherapists are an integral part of the multidisciplinary team, this ensures a holistic approach to patient care that aims to optimise patient well-being and outcome.
By a Vet giving consent for the treatment of an animal by a suitably qualified and regulated physiotherapist, Vets allow their patients to receive potentially life-changing intervention by a highly skilled clinician.
How sweet is Lenny?

Who's behind door number 24... Basil!
Basil is a 7-year-old Yorkshire Terrier cross who started hydrotherapy in August after a diagnosis of hip dysplasia. He was rescued at 3 years old and so his medical history and breeding is unknown, but his owner found his exercise tolerance dramatically reduced from 1 hour off lead to just 10 minutes and noticed he would frequently sit down. He had a 1.5cm muscle imbalance with his right hind being in deficit. We therefore advised weekly hydrotherapy to regain his muscle development and recommended weight loss from 11.5kg down to 9kg ideal to help reduce the unnecessary weight bearing on his joints. After just the first session, his owners saw a dramatic improvement to his weight bearing. We will continue to assist his hindlimb movement to ensure he is walking with an equal gait in the treadmill, so he builds the correct muscles to support him on land.
Who's behind door number 23... Kobe!
Kobe is a 1 year old Pug x Frenchie who was rescued from The Dogs Trust last year. Kobe tolerates his sessions, it's not his favourite activity (he'd probably rather be napping!) but he certainly loves his zoomies post work out! His owner used to be a hydrotherapist with us, so understands the benefits of hydrotherapy and started bringing him for fitness swims to keep his muscles well developed and reduce the likelihood of joints problems later down the line.
Who's behind door number 22... Bruce!
Bruce is a 3 year old Cocker Spaniel with weakness to his hind. From a puppy, he has had on/off periods of lameness and some behavioural concerns, leading the owner to believe he may be in discomfort. He has just started his sessions with us and needs hindlimb assistance to improve his stifle flexion and hip extension. We aim to see an improvement in his muscle development but also some improvements to his behaviour if his discomfort reduces.
Who's behind door number 21... Tricki!
Tricki is an 11-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who attended hydrotherapy due to hindlimb ataxia initially. He had severe muscle hypotrophy to his hind and as a result became significantly uncoordinated at home. After some treatment, his owners decided to take him to Southern Counties for an MRI to get more of a diagnosis to best aid his treatment plan. They discovered the presence of multifocal intervertebral disc degeneration and disc protrusions at T12-T13 and T13-L1 and also multifocal syringomyelia and hydromyelia affecting the cervical spinal cord. The whole multi-disciplinary team were then able to update his treatment to achieve the best results and help improve his quality of life.

Who's behind door number 15... Marlow. Marlow is an 8 year old Border Collie who started physiotherapy and hydrotherapy with us after suffering with intervertebral disc disease in October. He was completely unable to walk or stand without assistance when we first saw him. The progress he has made is fantastic and is the reason we love doing our job! Marlow's owners sent us a video of his first very gentle walk back on the ridgeway, sniffing the grass and enjoying life again! #bordercollie #ivde #rehabilitation #physiotherapy #hydrotherapy
It’s been a while since we shared a progress video! Lovely Nala came to us in July very stiff and suffering with her Spondylosis. This is a condition where bony spurs form along the spine, bridging one vertebrae to another causing reduced movement and can cause back pain. She’s made such great progress and now comes fortnightly for maintenance. She’s back to being a lively, bouncy Doberman again 💖 #hydrotherapy #rehabilitation #spondylosis #underwatertreadmill #doberman
What a week! All ready for a long bank holiday weekend. Hope you all have a nice weekend in the sunshine and we look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday.
George demonstrating what his pool sessions look like! #rehabilitation #hydrotherapy #dachshund #osteoarthritis #pool
We met Bear this morning and he made himself at home! He has suspected intervertebral disc disease; which is affecting his hindlimb awareness and stability at home. We're assisting him in the treadmill throughout to improve his ROM and gait patterning. #newfoundland #ivde #rehabilitation #treadmill
Well done, Boris!
Did you know Pugs can be good at agility?! Toby is a handsome 7 year old Pug who has enjoyed fun agility classes over the years. Sadly, he injured his back falling off the sofa and so began hydrotherapy treatment back in January. He has recently completed his 12th session and we are pleased to say he has had his first taster agility session since his injury. His muscle strength has greatly improved throughout the course of his treatment, he is now balanced on his forelimbs and hindlimbs and he has lost 6cms off his waist as his core strength has improved! Well done Toby ☺️ #hydrotherapy #physiotherapy #treadmill #pug
Pool vs UWTM? There are some rehabilitation cases where we feel the patient would be more suitable to a mix of both treadmill therapy and pool treatment. Cooper here is a good example. He is a 1 year old Labrador with bilateral hip dysplasia. Initially, we started with the water treadmill sessions to build and balance his hindlimb muscle mass, but also improve his gait patterning. We have since introduced him to the pool, because he was suffering with stiffness at times at home and lameness. As the pool allows him to be non weight bearing whilst exercising, rather than partial weight bearing like the UWTM, we felt he would benefit from alternating between the two. Cooper then gets the benefits from each! Ensuring we strengthen his hindlimb muscle mass but also improve his overall joint flexion and improve his core stability in the pool. #labrador #hipdysplasia #pool #treadmill #rehabilitation
We are so pleased with Suzi's progress. She started in September last year after suffering a cruciate injury to her left hind. Her owners have been treating conservatively and she has made a fantastic recovery. From needing hindlimb assistance and passive stretches in the treadmill twice a week, to walking completely unaided throughout the course of her treatment. She now has 3 weekly maintenance sessions and has been able to increase her walks at home. Well done Suzi! #hydrotherapy #cruciateinjury #rehabilitation

Jolie 🥰 At 6 years old, Jolie suffered Intervertebral Disc Extrusion resulting in a Hemilaminectomy procedure being performed at Lumbry Park. She was non ambulatory when first treated by our ACPAT Physiotherapist, Sara who then treated her at home with laser therapy and a tailored home exercise plan. When she was strong enough, Jolie then attended hydrotherapy twice weekly. Her progress has been incredible. Whilst she still has some recovery to make, she is now able to confidently move around and is overall much happier in herself. Well done, Jolie! 👏🏼 #IVDE #pointercross #rehabilitation #hydrotherapy #physiotherapy #treadmill
