Hydrotherapy and Rehabilitation appointments are carried out at our Faulconbridge site. An initial consultation lasts approximately one hour and will include taking a detailed history, physical examination, gait analysis, muscle mass measurements and first hydrotherapy or rehabilitation session including laser if appropriate.
Your Hydrotherapist will spend time getting to know you and your pet before introducing them to the underwater treadmill. For at least the first few sessions your Hydrotherapist will accompany your pet in the water to provide reassurance, massage and stretching as required. Even patients that do not usually enjoy water or swimming usually tolerate the underwater treadmill very well, especially as they quickly learn that it involves plenty of treats, fuss and attention!
Follow up sessions usually last 30 - 45 minutes and include ongoing assessment, underwater treadmill session, rinse and drying and a plan - this may include homework!
