Our state of the art underwater treadmill(UWTM) provides a wonderful option for low impact aquatic therapy and exercise. Hydrotherapy is useful in many different conditions including hip dysplasia, osteoarthritis, obesity, neurological diseases, post-operative orthopedic surgeries, and injury recovery. The 86 degree water temperature increases blood circulation to the muscles and joints, which helps relax sore, spasming muscles, and decreases joint pain. Other benefits of UWTM use are increasing range of motion of joints, and regaining strength and mobility.
By varying the height of the water and the speed of the treadmill, we can taylor the use of the UWTM for each dog and their condition. Whether the dog be a recovering post-operative orthopedic patient, an obese dog trying to lose weight, a neurological patient learning to walk again, an arthritic, geriatric dog, or a canine athlete conditioning for their next event, the UWTM is a great tool!
