At Oakhill Vets in Windermere, we offer specialised canine hydrotherapy services for dogs across the Lake District and Cumbria. Hydrotherapy is a safe, low-impact exercise therapy that uses water to support recovery, improve mobility, and strengthen muscles. Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or needing rehabilitation from an injury, hydrotherapy provides effective and gentle support.
What Is Canine Hydrotherapy?
Canine hydrotherapy involves exercising dogs in water, often with specialised pools or underwater treadmills. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints while providing resistance to help build muscle strength. Hydrotherapy can be used as part of physiotherapy, post-operative rehabilitation, or for ongoing conditioning and pain relief.
