The Carisbrooke Vets Hydrotherapy

The Carisbrooke Vets Hydrotherapy The Carisbrooke Vets Hydrotherapy is a rehabilitation and fitness based hydrotherapy centre on the Isle of Wight.

We are the only island-based hydrotherapy center with an underwater treadmill, allowing greater control over rehabilitation and exercise. The Carisbrooke Vets Hydrotherapy offers hydrotherapy sessions via a specialised water-treadmill unit. These sessions are used to aid recovery from muscle-skeletal injury and surgery as well as for fitness training. Problems we can help with include:
Arthritis
H

ip/elbow dysplasia
Post-orthopaedic surgeries
Neurological issues
Weight loss
Fun and fitness

Using a treadmill over the standard hydrotherapy-pool can give greater flexibility and customisation options for each patients’ needs in that session. For example, we can control how hard the animals work, and for exactly how long for by changing the speed and timer of the treadmill; we can change how deep the water is to work different muscles, ensure the animal doesn't put too much pressure through their joints, or increase buoyancy in our more unsteady patients.

It's the time of year when we start to see lots of fledgelings out and about for their first day outside of the nest.
We have had lots of feathered friends brought into us, so to help anyone who is concerned about a bird they have found here is a helpful chart to know what to do! Sometimes, although it may not feel it, leaving them where they are and watching from a distance is the best thing to do.

Handsome Herbie showcasing one of the ways we can adapt hydro to suit the patient; he likes to lean into us a little too much if we're stood behind him πŸ₯² so he can take some of the weight off his bad leg - but that's cheating Herb! πŸ˜‚ So we've switched it up to stand in front of him, and we're already seeing an improvement in his gait!
Gotta work hard to rebuild those muscles I'm afraid Herbie πŸ˜‚ great job pup! πŸ’ͺβ™₯

What a way to welcome back the page, than with the tiniest pup with the biggest personality! Everyone, meet Bob 😍
Our newest addition; Bob had to have surgery on both his knees a few months after each other, so now needs some nice, controlled exercise to build those teeny legs back up! What a great start little man πŸ‘β™₯️

A lovely, long-standing client of ours welcomed this beautiful pup into her home recently, so we get the absolute pleasure of seeing her for fun and fitness hydro 😍 everyone, meet Bonnie!
She's already running around the place like she's been here forever, desperate for treats and getting very good at flicking water into her own and our faces with her very waggy tail πŸ˜‚πŸ’¦

Introducing Bruno, the pup with plenty of poses πŸ˜πŸ˜‚ this darling boy had to have an operation to fix his cruciate ligament, and so we are now aiding in his recovery with twice weekly hydro sessions to rebuild the muscle in the surrounding areas πŸ’ͺ he's come on so far already, from being completely off his operated leg to using it brilliantly in and out of the hydro tank after only 3 weeks! Go Bruno! 🌟

The treat face! πŸ˜πŸ˜‚ Lovely Herbie belongs to one of our wonderful veterinary nurses, and it's been recently found that he has a slightly dodgy hip! We've lost a little bit of muscle due to it, but have already started building back up after a few hydro sessions - you're doing so well Herbie! β™₯ πŸ’ͺ

Hudson is back and super happy about it... πŸ‘€ πŸ˜‚ You know you've missed us really, handsome!
It's definitely getting chilly now, so we'd always recommend bringing a coat/robe along for your pups after their swim, as Hudson is expertly modelling here! β„πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
