› services: hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is an ideal form of active and active assisted exercise. The buoyancy effect of the water provides a gravity eliminated environment which improves movement of affected limbs. Hydrotherapy sessions should begin slowly to accustom the animal to the water and the procedure. Current sources advocate beginning with wading the patient with the water at mid chest level, in an effort to allow the patient to move their limbs without having to support the entire body weight.

The physical therapy regime is enhanced when the water is heated to stimulate vasodilation and improve the rate of healing.
