Aquatic Rehabilitation Hydrotherapy
An underwater treadmill is used for canine hydrotherapy, a low-impact exercise that offers several therapeutic and conditioning benefits. It involves walking the dog on a treadmill submerged in water, where the buoyancy reduces stress on joints while still providing resistance for muscle strengthening.
Key uses include:
Rehabilitation after surgery or injury
Helps dogs recover from orthopedic surgeries (e.g., ACL repair, hip replacement) by rebuilding strength safely.
Arthritis and joint pain management
Reduces weight-bearing stress, easing pain and improving mobility.
Weight loss and fitness
Aids in weight control for overweight dogs without overloading their joints.
Improved range of motion and flexibility
Water resistance encourages controlled movement and better joint use.
Neurologic recovery
Supports dogs recovering from spinal injuries or neurologic conditions by retraining gait and balance.
