Dr. David Knox, one of the few certified canine rehabilitation practitioners in San Diego County, provides rehabilitation, treatment, and therapy for dogs recovering from a variety of ailments and/or managing chronic musculoskeletal diseases. At Companion Animal Health & Rehabilitation Center, we’re proud to offer hydrotherapy with an advanced water treadmill system to our canine rehabilitation patients in Escondido.
Hydrotherapy is a treatment modality used in physical therapy. It makes use of water’s beneficial properties to assist with the rehabilitation process. This includes:
- Buoyancy reduces the weight and stress on joints, helping to support weak or injured patients.
- Resistance, while moving through the water, gently strengthens atrophied or weak muscles.
- Temperature control soothes muscles and joints, while improving circulation with warm water.
- Hydrostatic pressure, the pressure of water pressing against your pet’s body, reduces swelling and benefits circulatory problems.
