Canine Hydrotherapy usually involves a course of sessions tailored to suit the individual dog, and is often beneficial pre-surgery and post-surgery. HYDROPHYSIO® is also used to provide a cardiovascular workout, and in the treatment of conditions such as obesity, stroke and arthritis. Many dogs enjoy the relaxing warm water environment of a HYDROPHYSIO® tank, and the hydrotherapy techniques are increasingly being used to improve fitness levels of healthy animals, and to improve muscle development.
