We do many different forms of rehabilitation but specialize in Hydrotherapy.

Hydrotherapy is an impact free exercise, done in specifically designed pools. The therapy comprises of a swim and then a gentle massage. Each pet is individually accessed and the sessions are tailor made for there condition.

Swimming allows the body to achieve increased mobility in stiff or painful joints as well as building muscle mass around the affected area. Muscles not only support the joints, but also alleviate the grinding of degenerative joints. When dogs swim regularly in a controlled environment they achieve increased level of fitness, without the pounding and jarring of other forms of exercise. Most veterinarians agree that swimming is one of the best forms of treatment for arthritis, hip and elbow dysplasia, back problems and post surgical rehabilitation. Hydrotherapy is also used to keep working pets in top physical condition and is an effective way to help reduce weight in obese animals.

Most pets are able to do this form of exercise including cats. The results seen over the past 13years have almost been unbelievable and life changing for most pets
