Why Hydrotherapy?
Conditions We Treat
Hydrotherapy is a powerful tool for rehabilitation, pain management, and fitness. By utilizing the unique properties of warm water—buoyancy, resistance, and hydrostatic pressure—we design customized treatment plans for a wide variety of canine conditions.
Depending on your dog's specific needs, injury, or stage of recovery, we will utilize either our large heated pool or our state-of-the-art Tudor underwater treadmill.
🐾 Post-Operative Recovery & Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
Controlled aquatic therapy is ideal for safely rebuilding muscle mass and restoring a normal gait after surgery, preventing the joint strain associated with land-based exercise.
Cruciate Ligament Injuries (e.g., TPLO / TTA recovery)
Hip and Elbow Dysplasia (pre and post-surgery)
Patella Luxation
Fracture Repair Rehabilitation
🐾 Chronic & Degenerative Conditions
For senior pets or dogs living with long-term conditions, hydrotherapy provides vital pain relief, reduces joint stiffness, and maintains long-term mobility.
Osteoarthritis and Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)
Spondylosis
Age-Related Muscle Wastage (Muscle Atrophy)
🐾 Neurological Conditions
The supportive nature of water allows dogs with spinal or neurological conditions to practice standing and walking in a safe, buoyancy-assisted environment, which stimulates nerve pathways and restores coordination.
Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) (Conservative or post-op management)
Fibrocartilaginous Embolism (FCE / Spinal Stroke)
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)
🐾 Fitness, Weight Management & Conditioning
Hydrotherapy provides an excellent, calorie-burning workout that is completely joint-safe, making it ideal for weight loss or elite canine athletes.
Controlled Weight Loss (Relieving pressure on painful joints while burning calories)
Cardiovascular Fitness & Core Conditioning
Agility, Working, and Show Dog Conditioning
Pool vs. Treadmill: How We Choose
Our Advanced Level 4 qualification allows us to perform detailed gait analysis to determine which facility best suits your pet's rehabilitation stage:
Our Tudor Underwater Treadmill is excellent for precise gait re-education, early-stage post-op recovery, and targeted muscle loading. Because we can control water height and speed, we can encourage exact joint flexion and extension.
Our Heated Hydrotherapy Pool is perfect for non-weight-bearing cardiovascular fitness, expanding the overall range of motion, and encouraging a full, uninhibited swimming stride.
