HYDROTHERAPY
We are the only facility in Birmingham offering both pool based swimming & underwater treadmill hydrotherapy for dogs, run by an ACPAT Chartered Physiotherapist & Level 3 Hydrotherapist, all on one site!
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is a type of physiotherapy using water. The water's buoyancy, resistance & pressure help dogs to exercise with low impact & low weight bearing on the joints, to enhance strength, mobility & overall fitness. Hydrotherapy can benefit dogs recovering from surgery or injuries, help manage arthritis & pain, as well as aiding weight loss.
Pool Based Swimming
Our purpose built canine pool is large enough for even giant breeds, has an easy access ramp, jets for increasing resistance & underwater platform for resting & exercising. Dogs are always accompanied in the water, wearing a buoyancy jacket or harness. Water is a warm 27 degrees. pH & Chlorine levels are checked daily with digital testing, keeping the pool clean & safe. Showering & blow drying is offered to all dogs.
Underwater Treadmill
Our state of the art underwater treadmill by Tudor Treadmills is right next to the pool. Water level, speed & incline can all be controlled via a touch screen pad. Walking & trotting can be rehabilitated very specifically to help dogs get back their normal movement patterns (gait). Ideal for nervous dogs that may be reluctant or unable to swim. Great for after surgery or recent injuries, when controlled & gentle rehab is needed.
