Fitness and Conditioning
Hydrotherapy offers a unique approach to rehabilitation and fitness maintenance. By harnessing the therapeutic properties of water, these sessions provide a low-impact yet highly effective way to improve strength, flexibility, and overall well-being.
Here's what you can expect from our hydrotherapy sessions:
Personalized care: Our experienced practitioners will evaluate (or re-evaluate) your pet’s current level of fitness and will work closely with you to develop a customized hydrotherapy program based on your specific goals and your pet’s current condition.
Gentle yet effective workouts: Hydrotherapy exercises are gentle on the joints while still providing a challenging workout, making them an ideal, low impact way to maintain fitness without risking injury.
Improved mobility and range of motion: The buoyancy of water reduces the impact on muscles and joints, allowing for increased flexibility and improved mobility over time.
Whether your pet is a seasoned athlete or you simply want them to stay fit and healthy, hydrotherapy can be a valuable addition to their wellness routine.
