Hydrotherapy: What’s It to Canines?

Dogs experience some illnesses humans do and undergo the same conditions after an operation. This also means they can be rehabilitated by methods that humans use – one of these methods is hydrotherapy. The Heal Animal Wellness and Rehabilitation at Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong Island, was built specifically for dogs in need of hydrotherapy.

Hydrotherapy is a type of alternative medicine that uses water for pain relief and treatment. The process involves the exercise of motor skills in a pool of water and is known for treating conditions such as arthritis and partial paralysis, both of which are known to be suffered by dogs. In addition to arthritis, dogs also suffer from hip dysplasia and have limited mobility after an operation.

Dogs who suffer or have limited mobility will deteriorate faster. To save them and give them a long healthy life, they must exercise full mobility at all times. Since there are illnesses that can hinder mobility in dogs, hydrotherapy is a good way to cure them.
