Hydrotherapy
Recovery, Fitness & Fun
Hydrotherapy Sessions
Back to Full Health
Hydrotherapy is a controlled method of using the properties of water to help treat all types of dogs, with all kinds of ailments. Our pool is kept at 29 degrees as the warmth, along with the buoyancy and resistance of the water, are key to hydrotherapy’s power to help heal and regain movement.
Success Stories
Oscar the Labrador
Oscar has severe hip dysplasia. He comes swimming to build up the muscles in his hips, legs and back to help stabilise the hip joint. He is now able to run and play again in daily life without limping. We are very proud of him and his incredible success!
THE POOL
13ft Long • 7ft Wide • 4ft Deep
Our pool is 13ft long, 7ft wide and 4ft deep. The dogs access the water via a gently sloping ramp. Rachel, & Jenna are all fully qualified rehabilitation hydrotherapists and one of them will be in the water with your dog throughout their session.
Incredible Benefits
Hydrotherapy Aids Recovery
It has long been established that hydrotherapy is beneficial in the recovery programme for certain injuries in the veterinary field. Because swimming is a non-weight bearing exercise, recovery can start much earlier following surgery or illness. The warm water and increased range of limb movements help to promote circulation, which aids recovery.
