Having both a hydrotherapy pool and an underwater treadmill give us the opportunity to provide a flexible programme ensuring the utmost care for each individuals needs. Hydrotherapy can be used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, orthopaedic conditions, neurological conditions, muscle, ligament and other soft tissue injuries. It can also help with general convalescence and fitness
Swimming helps to improve general fitness, cardiovascular stamina, muscle tone and is also helpful in aiding recovery from injury or surgery and improves fitness, especially in the management of obesity. 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 swim 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 is also considered to be a natural anti-inflammatory through its ability to reduce tissue swelling. Using the natural elements of water, canine hydrotherapy provides a non weight bearing form of exercise which can radically help rehabilitate pets with joint or muscular conditions. It also contributes to their general well-being and quality of life. Activity in warm water relieves pain and inflammation, builds muscle strength and tone without impact, increases joint support and strength and allows the body to return to a more natural movement pattern. Canine physiotherapy is focused upon restoring, promoting and maintaining function and physical well-being. It can be used post-surgery or after injury, to manage on-going musculoskeletal or orthopaedic conditions, or as a maintenance programme to prevent tightness and tenderness affecting locomotion and performance.
