Hydrotherapy (Underwater Treadmill) in Cary, IL
Hydrotherapy involves the use of water resistance to aid in rehabilitation and fitness. Our underwater treadmill allows pets to walk or run in a controlled water environment. The buoyancy of water supports the body, reducing stress on joints and muscles, making it an ideal therapy for pets with various health conditions.
Benefits of the Underwater Treadmill
The underwater treadmill offers numerous advantages for pets at different stages of their health journey:
- Low-Impact Exercise: The buoyancy reduces the impact on joints, making it suitable for pets recovering from surgery or those with arthritis.
- Enhanced Mobility: Helps improve range of motion and flexibility, especially beneficial for pets with mobility issues.
- Increased Strength and Endurance: The resistance of the water helps build muscle strength and cardiovascular endurance.
- Weight Management: Provides an effective way for overweight pets to exercise without putting excessive strain on their bodies.
- Pain Relief: The warm water and gentle movement can alleviate pain and discomfort in pets with chronic conditions.
