Hydrotherapy is the use of movement in water to relieve discomfort and promote physical wellbeing.
Canine hydrotherapy can bring amazing long-term health benefits to
a dogs health and fitness.
It has long been established that hydrotherapy is beneficial in the recovery
programme for certain injuries in the veterinary field.
Hydrotherapy is now an increasingly popular rehabilitation method for
ALL dogs.
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.
The pressure of the water can have an anti-inflammatory effect, relieving
pain and reducing swelling, which results in more comfortable
and natural limb movements.
Hydrotherapy is suitable for dogs of
ALL shapes and sizes!
Actual swimming time will depend upon the
injury and fitness of the dog, normally the first time that a dog swims it will vary between 2-5 mins, gradually increasing over visits up to a maximum of 20 minutes.
