Canine Hydrotherapy

Our Older Shepherd Skye, was diagnosed with Hip dysplasia so she attends hydrotherapy to build and maintain muscle in her back legs.

There are many benefits of hydrotherapy, the warm water helps to relieve pain, inflammation and increase joint range or motion. Hydrostatic pressure helps to increase muscle strength, improve circulation, reduce swelling, aiding the healing process. Buoyancy reduces the impact on degenerative joints and supports sore or weakened dogs. Resistance helps to restore muscle strength, endurance and cardiovascular health.
