HYDROTHERAPY

Supported by the natural buoyancy of warm water, hydrotherapy allows dogs to move without stress or impact, guided by the expert supervision of a trained hydrotherapist. It takes the pain out of exercise.

While cold water can cause muscles to stiffen up and cramp, warm water is proven to relax the body. It promotes blood flow and stimulates muscle groups, while engaging the circulatory, respiratory and skeletal systems.

Following injury, animals can become reluctant to put weight on certain joints. Hydrotherapy gives them the confidence to move again. This can lift their mood, increase their rate of healing and dramatically improve their path to recovery.
