The Benefits of Hydrotherapy For Dogs
Dog hydrotherapy strengthens patients’ muscles with little to no pressure on joints due to the buoyancy of the water. The warm water helps to increase blood circulation, increases the flexibility of muscles and joints, and relieves pain. Water resistance helps build muscle mass, strengthen limbs, and provides a full cardiovascular workout.
- The geriatric patient can rebuild muscle mass and prevent muscle atrophy.
- The post-surgical patient can return earlier to full exercise and body function.
- The overweight patient can experience a decrease in weight and an increase in overall fitness.
Additional advantages of water therapy for dogs is the ability to work more muscle groups simultaneously and the water decreases the risk of dogs overheating while exercising.
