Help Your Pet Rebound With Underwater Treadmill Therap
Gentle movement is one of the most effective ways to help your pet heal. By hitting the pool, your dog can walk off the pain and stiffness that keep them glued to the couch. Hawthorne Animal Hospital’s underwater treadmill is ideal for patients who need a low-impact, high-resistance form of physical therapy.
The Benefits of Hydrotherapy for Dogs
Hydrotherapy helps pets bounce back faster after surgery since the water decreases joint stress and provides resistance for enhanced strength training while comfortably supporting the pet’s body weight. In addition to post-op recovery, underwater therapy treats a variety of health conditions, including:
- Arthritis
- Hip dysplasia
- Injury recovery
- Joint issues
- Neurological conditions
- Obesity

Ask Your Vet if a Hydrotherapy Plan is Right for Your Dog
A rehabilitation consultation with a Hawthorne veterinarian will give us the information we need to build a hydrotherapy program that’s right for your pet.
After a physical examination, the doctor will provide recommendations for at-home exercises and restrictions as well as a plan for underwater treadmill therapy at our clinic. The plan will include the number of sessions that are recommended, the speed at which your pet will walk, and the height of the water to give your pet the right amount of resistance.
