Pet Hydrotherapy in Suffolk County, NY and Beyond

Hydrotherapy for Your Pet

Are you looking for pet hydrotherapy in Nassau County, NY or the surrounding areas? Great idea! Water has many healing properties. That's why we use hydrotherapy at Healing Hands 4 Paws. We'll use water to make your pet's recovery go swimmingly.

How does it work? Water provides buoyancy, stability, and hydrostatic pressure. This makes it a gentle option for pets who need a slower recovery. For athletic animals, the increased resistance of the water provides a better total body workout. Pets in our weight loss or athletic program can see real gains!

In fact, our underwater treadmill is state-of-the-art! We use it to help young dogs recover from injury or surgery. Water can provide stability to allow your pet to move normally while relieving weight strain on the joints. It's a gentle option for recovery.

Reasons to Consider Pet Hydrotherapy

• Post-operative recovery
• Arthritis care

• Geriatric recovery

Enjoy the Benefits of Your Pet's Water Therapy

We pursue hydrotherapy because it delivers real results for real pets at Healing Hands 4 Paws.

Warmth

We use warm water, and that warmth is therapeutic. Your pet's muscles will relax to decrease pain and control muscle spasms. The warm water also keeps small dogs from getting too cold.

Hydrostatic Pressure

The pressure of the water can actually reduce swelling. Gentle pressure from the water eases pain in the body and legs because it reduces edema during a workout.

Resistance

The water provides resistance to maximize muscle usage. This increases joint range of motion while minimizing pain. This means your dog can get a more intense workout since heart rate and oxygen use can be greater when working out in water.

Buoyancy

Water makes your pet float, and this decreases the jarring forces on bones and joints during exercise. For dogs with weakness, poor balance, or reduced coordination, the buoyancy is extra important. Up to 80% of the dog's body weight can be supported by water.
