Underwater Treadmill

How can my pet benefit from the Underwater Treadmill?

The underwater treadmill uses exercising in water to decrease stress on joints through buoyancy while building strength, endurance, and range of motion through resistance. The warm water promotes blood circulation while relaxing muscles.

The underwater treadmill can be used:

  • For physical rehabilitation after joint surgery.
  • Therapeutically for Hip Dysplasia or Osteoarthritis
  • To help decrease pain and muscle spasms.
  • To increase cardiac fitness and flexibility in athletic dogs used in law enforcement or those used for agility and sporting events.
  • As a tool to recondition overweight dogs
