Water Treadmill
Water Treadmill Therapy
Water treadmill therapy is an innovative treatment that combines the healing benefits of water with controlled treadmill exercise. It’s ideal for pets recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or improving strength and mobility. The buoyant water reduces stress on joints, allowing pets to move comfortably and without pain while gaining the benefits of movement and resistance.
Our therapy takes place in a specially designed tank with an adjustable treadmill, where water level and speed can be tailored to each pet’s needs. The water supports the pet’s weight, reducing impact on joints and muscles, while providing resistance to help strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular health, and enhance mobility.
To ensure comfort, the water is heated to a soothing temperature, promoting muscle relaxation. It is also filtered and refreshed after each session to maintain cleanliness and hygiene, prioritizing safety and the environment.
