Underwater Treadmill Sessions
Our Hydro Physio Underwater Treadmill allows us to tailor each session to the unique needs of your pet. By precisely controlling the water level, speed, and incline, we can create a personalized exercise program that supports rehabilitation, improves mobility, and promotes overall fitness.
Underwater treadmill therapy provides a low-impact form of exercise, making it ideal for dogs recovering from surgery or injury, managing arthritis or chronic pain, or working on weight management. The buoyancy of the water reduces stress on the joints while allowing for controlled, weight-bearing movement that helps build strength and coordination.
Our qualified hydrotherapist will design a treatment plan specifically for your dog’s condition and goals.
At Bowesfield Hydrotherapy, we offer a range of underwater treadmill sessions, including:
-
Rehabilitation sessions for dogs recovering from surgery or injury
-
Pain management sessions for those with arthritis or chronic pain conditions
-
Weight management sessions for overweight or obese dogs
-
Condition-specific programs, such as for dogs with IVDD, hip dysplasia, or elbow dysplasia
Each session focuses on controlled, weight-bearing exercises designed to support post-surgical recovery, neurological conditions, and fitness improvement. Our ability to adjust the water height, speed, incline, and interval duration ensures that every dog receives the most effective therapy for their individual needs.
