Hydrotherapy with Underwater Treadmill
Hydrotherapy benefits:
Maintaining health year round, regardless of the weather
Water buoyancy reduces gravity thus diminishing compressive forces
Allows for early intervention post surgery or trauma
Encourages weight loss
Water provides resistance throughout the range of motion
Warm water assists in pain reduction and the healing process
Older animals can exercise effectively
Water height is regulated to accommodate different sized dogs and different health issues
Treadmill eliminates the ‘panic’ sometimes experienced when forced to swim in a pool or lake. Why? Their feet touch the ground.
Combine with other modalities for complete exercise program for peak performance or complete rehabilitation
Gait Analysis:
Reinforce natural gait and develop muscles
Exercise is a key ingredient to good health, good mental agility and longevity.
