How Hydrotherapy Helps Your Dog

Because hydrotherapy is low-impact, it is suitable for dogs that may struggle with normal land-based exercise. It is used to help dogs recover from injury or surgery, manage long-term conditions, and improve overall mobility and wellbeing.

Canine Hydrotherapy can be used for:

• Post-surgical rehabilitation

• Neurological or orthopaedic conditions

• Arthritis and age-related mobility challenges

• Ongoing pain management

• Sporting, agility, and working dog performance optimisation

• Fitness, conditioning, or weight management

What Is Canine Hydrotherapy?

Canine hydrotherapy is a form of therapeutic exercise carried out in warm water. Water supports the dog’s body weight, reducing pressure on joints while still allowing effective exercise. At the same time, the natural resistance of the water helps strengthen muscles and improve movement in a safe, controlled way.

The benefits of hydrotherapy consist of:

• Reduced strain on joints and soft tissues

• Improving muscle strength and tone

• Increasing joint mobility and flexibility

• Supporting balance and coordination

• Aid in weight management

• Improve cardiovascular fitness

• Promote confidence and wellbeing

Every dog is unique—and their therapy should be too. We take an individualised approach to every case, whether it involves:

To ensure the highest standard of care, we work closely with veterinary surgeons, behaviourists, trainers, and other complementary therapists. This collaborative approach ensures your dog receives comprehensive, coordinated support at every stage.

Veterinary physiotherapy and hydrotherapy provide essential support not only during recovery from injury or surgery, but also as part of routine care to maintain your dog’s long-term health and mobility. Many owners now view physiotherapy as a proactive, preventative measure—helping to identify issues early, reduce future injury risk, and keep their dogs feeling and performing at their best.

Whether your dog requires rehabilitation, ongoing management of a chronic condition, or tailored conditioning for sports or working activities, our personalised treatment plans are designed to optimise comfort, function, and overall wellbeing.
