Hydrotherapy


Hydrotherapy Pool

Water has many useful properties and swimming in a warm controlled environment promotes these. As the water presses against the body and limbs of a swimmer, the pressure (known as hydrostatic pressure) supports joints and muscles increasing the range of movement, promotes improved circulation and even has an anti-inflammatory effect that relieves pain and reduces swelling. The resistance of the water, as we swim through it, builds muscles, burns calories and improves cardiovascular fitness.

We only swim dogs with veterinary referral and/or permission.
