Pre-Operative Conditioning
Preparing for surgery? Don’t forget the "Pre-hab!" 🏥🐕

Body: If your dog has a planned orthopedic operation (like a cruciate repair or hip surgery), did you know that building muscle before the procedure can significantly speed up recovery?

Building core strength and limb muscle through low-impact hydrotherapy ensures your dog is in peak physical condition before they head into theatre. This means:
✅ Less muscle wastage during the resting period
✅ A faster return to mobility post-surgery
✅ Better support for the affected joint

We work closely with your vet to ensure a seamless care plan.

Support for Senior Dogs
Giving your senior dog a new lease on life! 🐕✨

Is your older dog starting to slow down, struggling with stairs, or stiffening up after a walk? Arthritis and age-related conditions like Spondylosis don't have to mean the end of an active life.

Hydrotherapy is "water healing." The warmth of our treadmill (set to 28-32°C) helps:
🌡️ Relieve joint pain and inflammation
💪 Maintain muscle mass to support aging joints
🧠 Provide mental stimulation for dogs with restricted land exercise

Tracey is a full member of IRVAP and specializes in making every session a calm, relaxing experience for your golden oldie.

The Benefits of the Underwater Treadmill
Why use an underwater treadmill for your dog’s recovery? 🐾💦

At Kent and Medway Hydrotherapy, we use a state-of-the-art underwater treadmill to provide controlled, effective rehabilitation. But why choose the treadmill over a standard swim?

✅ Adjustable Water Levels: We can tailor the height to perfectly support your dog's specific injury.
✅ Re-educating Gait: The treadmill allows us to watch every step, helping your dog regain a natural walking pattern.
✅ Building Muscle: The natural resistance of water builds strength without the high-impact stress of land-based exercise.
✅ Confidence: Many dogs feel safer because they can feel the floor beneath their paws!

Whether it's post-op recovery or managing arthritis, we’re here to help.

Recovery doesn't have to be a uphill struggle. 🌊

If your dog is recovering from orthopaedic surgery (like a cruciate repair or hip dysplasia treatment), the right rehabilitation is key to a full recovery.
