Hydrotherapy Pool
We have a heated 5.2 meters long, by 2 meters wide and 1.2 meters deep hydrotherapy pool which also has 2 underwater jets for resistance swimming with an entry and exit ramp. The water is heated to around 30° to aid in dilating the blood vessels to problem areas encouraging oxygen flow to the muscles.
Techniks Hydro-physio Underwater Treadmill
This piece of machinery is the latest innovation in canine hydrotherapy, the treadmill provides a semi weight bearing environment which aids in producing correct foot placement that a pool is unable to provide. The underwater treadmill provides a more stable environment than the pool by supporting the joints without the over exaggerated extension of the limbs which can occur in the pool. This is good for surgeries such as the TTA cruciate repair and spinal surgery where more support and stability is required. Our treadmill arrived in March 2018 and the machine includes an inclining floor, which can be used as a progression from rehabilitation and for our fitness dogs.
K Laser
The Class IV Laser is non-invasive and pain free treatment. The K-Laser is mobile, and treatments can be carried out at your home or at the Centre. The K-Laser delivers specific wavelengths and frequencies of laser light that promote metabolic activity and circulation of oxygen and nutrients to the affected area to promote healing.
Washing and Drying Facilities
All pets are showered before and after treatment and there are hair dryers in the treatment rooms. Please bring your pets own towel and we recommend drying coats on those cold winter days. We do our best to cater for all needs and can apply medicated shampoos but some medicated shampoos will need to be left on for a long time period so this will need to be done at home as your pet’s hydrotherapy treatment is our top priority.
Mobile/Collection Services
Our K-Laser is compact and portable. If your pet becomes very stressed with car journeys, we can bring the K-Laser to you. We can also collect your pet and bring them to hydrotherapy for their treatments. Please contact Holly on 07857561776 for more information and prices on the collection services.
