The word hydrotherapy is derived
from the Greek meaning water healing.
Hydrotherapy is widely
used in the treatment of arthritis, orthopaedic conditions, muscle,
ligament and many other types of injury. It can also help with
obesity and fitness training.
It is so effective due to being
able to exercise a dog in a non weight-bearing environment along
with the warmth and hydrostatic pressure of the
water.
Some of the main uses of
hydrotherapy are :-
- Relief of pain, swelling &
stiffness
- Joint mobilisation
- Muscle strengthening, maintenance and
restoration
- Increase in the range of motion of affected
joints
- Improved circulation
- Cardiovascular fitness (heart &
lungs)
