Benefits of Underwater and Dry Treadmills

Our advanced treadmills provide numerous benefits for pets undergoing rehabilitation:

  • Pain Relief: The buoyancy of the water reduces stress on joints, making movement less painful for pets with arthritis or recovering from surgery.
  • Enhanced Mobility: Regular sessions on our treadmills can improve joint flexibility and overall mobility.
  • Strength Training: Both underwater and dry treadmills help build muscle strength, which is crucial for pets recovering from injury.
  • Controlled Exercise Environment: Our treadmills allow for precise control of exercise intensity and duration, ensuring a safe rehabilitation process.
  • Weight Management: Treadmill sessions can aid in weight control, which is essential for pets with joint issues.

Understanding Underwater Treadmills

Underwater treadmills are highly effective for low-impact rehabilitation. The water’s buoyancy supports the pet’s body, reducing the strain on injured or arthritic joints while still providing resistance to strengthen muscles. This combination allows pets to exercise without the pain associated with weight-bearing activities on land.

Advantages of Dry Treadmills

Dry treadmills are beneficial for pets who may not need the buoyancy support of water but still require controlled exercise. These treadmills are ideal for strengthening muscles and improving cardiovascular health. They provide a stable platform for pets to rebuild their strength and stamina under the supervision of our skilled veterinary team.
