Introduction

Since 2500 BCE, ancient civilisations including the Greeks, Chinese, Romans and Egyptians knew the healing properties of water for physical recovery. Now this ancient form of rehabilitation is available to the canine family to provide more effective outcomes than land-based exercise alone.

Hydrotherapy for Dogs

Canines experience pain, decreased mobility and muscle atrophy for a variety of reasons including degenerative conditions, pre and post surgery and special needs. Using the physical properties of water, including buoyancy, resistance, hydrostatic pressure and viscosity, hydrotherapy for dogs is a unique, low to no-impact treatment. By allowing dogs to exercise without placing their full body weight on joints, they are also building muscle strength against water resistance. Hence, hydrotherapy for dogs is a reliable means to improve muscle, joint, cardiovascular and brain function and to advance overall wellbeing.
