What is hydrotherapy
Report
A complimentary form of therapy, hydrotherapy is controlled exercise in water to encourage a faster rate of recovery which can not only aid post op patients but all aspects of muscular skeletal conditions. The warmth of the water provides a medium that assists with pain relief and the reduction of muscle spasm.
Underwater treadmill
Report
Our state of the art underwater treadmill allows us to tailor make every patients rehabilitation programme dependant on their needs. We can alter water levels and speed dependent on what joint we are targeting and our aims of the treatment plan. The sanitised water, kept between 30-32degrees offers a level of buoyancy which encourages weight bearing and increased range of movement through joints which patients may find difficult on land.
What is physiotherapy
Report
The purpose of physiotherapy is to reduce pain and restore movement, thus improving quality of life and performance. Physiotherapy is a fundamental part of human medicine and its value within animal health and rehabilitation is becoming increasingly more recognised.
Animals cannot directly tell us where they hurt, however Veterinary Physiotherapists undergo extensive training to be able to complete detailed assessments and help identify areas of pain or dysfunction.This is achieved using manual techniques, electrotherapy, acupuncture, exercise regimes, and advice to owners.
