Therapy For Dogs
Underwater Treadmill is designed specifically for the rehabilitation of
dogs.
WATER TREADMILL – increases strength, endurance, range of motion and coordination,
soothes sore muscles and joints, and improves balance.
When a pet is injured or in pain
they may not be able to use their limb on land, but will often use it in the
water. Water gives the animal buoyancy, this reduces the forces on the injured
joints and muscles. Warm water assists in pain reduction and provides
resistance for good exercise. This combination allows the dog to start
the rehabilitation process much sooner.
When the dog does not experience as much pain in movement it is more likely
to use the limb through its normal range of motion which will reduce recovery
time.
Animals that will benefit include orthopedic post-operative patients, back
injuries, ligament injuries, and neurological problems.
The system is also great for arthritic and obese dogs. The warm water
and buoyancy along with resistance makes using the underwater treadmill
a good choice in rehabilitation therapy.
The Therapy for Dogs Underwater Treadmill can provide cost-effective rehabilitation
for injured or post surgical patients.
