Hydrotherapy for Dogs
Although humans have embraced water therapy in their fitness routines for centuries, the concept of hydrotherapy for dogs originated more recently, influenced by the horse racing industry. The discovery of the therapeutic and conditioning advantages of having racehorses walk in water prompted the adaptation of this practice for dogs. Subsequently, underwater treadmills were developed, leading to the expansion of this approach, now accessible to you at our Canine Wellness Spa.
Treating Dogs with Hydrotherapy
Our hydrotherapist employs various therapeutic approaches to cater to your pet's well-being. Utilizing our underwater treadmill, hydrotherapy offers relief for a range of muscular and skeletal conditions. This low-impact exercise is beneficial for aging and weight loss, enhancing your pet’s range of motion, balance, mobility, and flexibility. Additionally, it aids in reducing anxiety, building confidence, and strengthening muscles, ultimately improving your dog’s gait. Customizing the therapy to your dog's needs involves adjusting the duration, water level, treadmill speed, and overall activity. Float therapy, featuring non-weight bearing swims, contributes to fitness, weight loss, anxiety relief, and serves as a learning platform for swimming. The hydrotherapist utilizes water resistance for a low-impact, joint-friendly exercise. Regular swim therapy regulates serotonin levels, boosting your pet's well-being. For a holistic approach, float therapy, designed to relax both mind and body, is advantageous for dogs dealing with anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. This therapeutic session, performed by our hydrotherapist, involves gentle swaying movements and canine massage therapy in warm water, providing relief for senior dogs facing pain and aging issues.
