Water-based rehabilitation for strength & recovery

Hydrotherapy is a low-impact, highly effective treatment that uses the therapeutic properties of water to help pets recover from injuries, build strength, and improve mobility. At Theravet, we offer deep water pool therapy and underwater treadmill therapy to provide the best care for your pet.

What is Hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy involves controlled exercise in warm water, which reduces stress on joints while encouraging movement. The natural buoyancy of water helps support the body, allowing pets to exercise with less pain and strain, making it ideal for:
✔ Rehabilitation after surgery or injury
✔ Managing arthritis and joint conditions
✔ Improving muscle strength and endurance
✔ Weight management and fitness conditioning
✔ Supporting neurological conditions
