​Water is used in hydrotherapy to assist your dog recover from injuries and to reduce pain. It's especially advantageous for dogs that suffer from conditions such as a ruptured cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), hip or elbow dysplasia, degenerative joint disease, arthritis, or dogs who have lost a limb or been paralyzed.

When a dog is attempting to heal injured joints, hydrotherapy combines buoyancy, resistance, viscosity, and hydrostatic pressure to assist with movement. This kind of therapy is effective primarily because it eliminates gravity's added pressure and offers weightless physical therapy.

As animals work to heal from their condition, your dog's joints experience less stress due to their buoyancy in water. This kind of treatment also functions as a natural anti-inflammatory as it can minimize swelling in body tissues.

The following are some of the benefits of our underwater treadmill:
​

• Warmth: helps to expand range of motion, relax the muscles, and improve blood circulation
• Buoyancy: lessens the body's weight, which lessens the strain on joints 
• Hydrostatic Pressure: with continual pressure applied to the body it eases pain, swelling, and edema.
• Water resistance: enhances exercise intensity, boosts muscle output that strengthens and improves cardiovascular and muscular endurance, and provides light massaging for improved recovery and rejuvenation
