Underwater Therapy for Dogs in New York

The underwater treadmill is nice and warm at 89 degrees. The buoyancy of the water allows your pet to exercise his or her muscles without impacting the joints. The underwater treadmill is effective for improving range of motion and strength, gait re-training, generalized conditioning and weight loss. Patients typically walk in the treadmill, however, we can raise the level of the water so they can swim to help strengthen forelimbs. In addition, the underwater treadmill is also good for improving cardiovascular endurance.
