HYDROTHERAPY

Hydrotherapy works extremely well in conjunction with land-based physiotherapy to

help rehabilitate dogs following injury, illness and surgery.

Whilst swimming can be beneficial, the aquatic treadmill is the most sophisticated means

of hydrotherapy available. Water height, speed and incline can be precisely controlled and

the degree of your dog's activity may be ‘fine-tuned’ ensuring effective and safe rehabilitation.

We have excellent clinical links with several hydrotherapy centres in Norfolk. These centres are

rehabilitation-focused and are fully insured with either the CHA or IRVAP - ICH.

Where hydrotherapy is recommended for your dog, we can liaise closely with your most

local centre and work alongside them to ensure that your dog receives an effective, combined

land and water-based rehabilitation programme.
