๐พ๐โ๐ฆบBENEFITS OF UNDERWATER TREADMILL REHABILITATION๐โ๐ฆบ๐พ
Pets can enjoy many advantages from underwater treadmills. The buoyant properties of water minimize the weight that is bearing on the bones and joints of the dog or cat. Water levels can be raised or lowered according to how much or little weight is bearing on the petโs body to return it back to a normal gait pattern. Reducing the weight put on the bones and joints is highly important to increase endurance and strength, while helping the pet lose weight, without putting excess stress on the joints.
At Boone Veterinary Hospital we provide a full assessment prior to underwater treadmill use and tailor a water- assisted exercise plan to specifically meet the needs of your pet. Sessions vary in length and intensity.
