How Hydrotherapy Works

Hydrotherapy is a form of physical rehabilitation using the low-impact and high resistance properties of swimming. Proven to strengthen muscles and increase range of motion, hydrotherapy allows injured or sick dogs to safely ease into physical therapy exercise. Hydrotherapy sessions are always one-on-one supervised by a professional pet CPR certified therapist monitoring their comfort level and progress. Common ailments hydrotherapy that benefits for dogs afflicted with or recuperating from include:

  • Elbow and Hip Dysplasia

  • Hip Replacement Recovery

  • Arthritis and Inflammation

  • Muscle Spasms/Atrophy

  • Spinal Injury

  • Ligament Injury

  • Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD)

  • Intervertebral Disc Disease
