Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is the therapeutic use of water alongside controlled exercise and rehabilitation techniques, to help treat a wide range of physical conditions, or to enhance the general health, fitness and mental wellbeing of your dog. We harness the properties of water to effectively and safely treat our patients.

Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a profession rather than a single technique and aims to restore and maintain mobility and function. It is an essential part of rehabilitation post injury but it also has an important role in pain management, optimising performance and injury prevention. This is the same whether it is a person, dog, cat or horse.
-
Fitness
Hydrotherapy is a great form of exercise to improve cardiovascular fitness and muscle condition for energetic, working and sporting dogs. Hydrotherapy is a great way for your puppy to exercise while their bones are growing, the low impact environment of the pool allows them to work off physical and mental energy safely.
