HYDROTHERAPY

What is Hydrotherapy?

Here at Well Dog Hydrotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre we have a warm large heated pool with plenty of room, for the strictest water therapy programs, fun and play. We use the water as a means of supporting dogs in a non-weight bearing environment. This allows for movement that would not normally be possible, or could be difficult, further to injury or general weakness. Simply speaking, hydrotherapy is swimming in a controlled optimum temperature water with stress free support.

THE BENEFITS OF HYDROTHERAPY

Better joint mobility and better movement

HOW DOES HYDROTHERAPY WORK?

Our large heated pool offers your dog plenty of room for water therapy programs, fun and play. This can help improve the cardiovascular fitness of your dog and help with weight loss too. The swimming will also relax the blood vessels and maximise the blood supply. In turn this helps increase the circulation which assists healing by carrying more nutrients. The metabolic rate is also increased. This will accelerate the healing of damaged tissue for your dog.
