Water Therapy - Underwater Treadmill
With the use of an underwater treadmill we utilize the benefits of buoyancy
and resistance that water provides to reduce the impact force on injured or damaged
joints and muscles. This enables pets with stiff, injured or painful joints to lengthen their stride
and increase the benefits of exercise while minimizing pain.
Walking in an underwater treadmill puts far less stress on
a pet's joints than normal land walking. This makes
it ideal for older dogs that suffer from muscle
atrophy who need to rebuild muscle mass. It’s also a
great cardiovascular exercise for any dog or cat, due to the
varying speeds and water depths that can be used.
This means we can specifically design each
hydrotherapy treatment to your pet's unique needs.
The underwater treadmill will continue to challenge
your pet as he or she regains strength, endurance
and agility.
