The Benefits of Hydrotherapy

Muscle wastage begins within 3 days of any immobilisation so to prevent further weakness or injury it is important to rebuild, through safe exercise, any muscles that have deteriorated.

It is better to treat dogs in heated water since cold water causes constriction of the blood vessels near the skin and to the superficial muscles (those just under the skin) which restricts the flow of blood making the muscles less efficient.

Hydrotherapy can be performed in either a pool or aquatic treadmill.

The water in our pool and aqua treadmill is regulated at a temperature of between 28 – 32 degrees celcius.

We require a written veterinary referral and permission stating that hydrotherapy is suitable and safe for each individual dogs and cats before they can attend our hydrotherapy center for treatment.
