Canine Hydrotherapy Queensland
What is Canine Hydrotherapy?
Canine hydrotherapy is a specialised, non-weight-bearing form of exercise that uses the benefits of an underwater treadmill to aid in your dog’s recovery and overall well-being. This form of therapy is perfect for dogs with joint issues, recovering from surgery, or needing to rebuild muscle strength.
Benefits of Canine Hydrotherapy
Managing Arthritis & Joint Pain
Reduces inflammation and increases mobility.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Supports healing while minimising the stress on joints.
Hip Dysplasia & Mobility Issues
Promotes muscle strengthening and joint stability.
Weight Management
Provides exercise that is easy on the joints for overweight dogs.
How Canine Hydrotherapy works
Hydrotherapy uses the unique properties of water to create an ideal environment for healing:
- Reduced Joint Pressure: The buoyancy of water supports your dog’s weight, significantly reducing the pressure on their joints and limbs. This makes movement less painful and more manageable, especially for dogs suffering from arthritis or hip dysplasia.
- Increased Range of Motion: With less stress on the joints, your dog can move more freely, allowing for greater flexibility and rehabilitation.
- Enhanced Muscle Strength: The resistance of water is much greater than on land, which means your dog has to work harder to move. This helps to rebuild and strengthen muscle mass, essential for recovery after injury or illness.
- Warm Water Therapy: Our underwater treadmill is set at a soothing 28°C. The warmth of the water increases blood circulation, reduces swelling and inflammation, and relaxes tight muscles, promoting faster healing.
Ready to see your dog move with more ease and comfort? Canine Hydrotherapy could be the key to their recovery and wellness.
