Hydrotherapy
The water creates a low impact environment that allows for rehabilitative exercise with reduced stress on your pet’s joints. This is beneficial for pets experiencing pain secondary to arthritis, injury or post-operative recovery. Hydrotherapy promotes quicker weight bearing while improving strength and range of motion. Hydrotherapy is also beneficial for weight loss and improves endurance.
Benefits of Hydrotherapy:
Improve strength and mobility with low impact walking
Improve overall endurance
Assist with gait training
Improve cardiac and respiratory function
