Aquavet - Hydrotherapy - 01603 747344

A brand new state-of-the-art hydrotherapy service available at Taverham Vets Longwater, staffed by qualified Veterinary Nurse Hydrotherapists

Why choose Hydrotherapy at Taverham Vets?

Here at Taverham Vets Longwater we believe hydrotherapy can be an amazing tool in helping animals recover from many different conditions. That is why we have equipped the practice with a brand new state-of-the-art hydrotherapy treadmill. To ensure continuity of care and a friendly face, two of our qualified veterinary nurses have undertaken additional hydrotherapy qualifications.

Many conditions such as osteoarthritis, developmental conditions, pre and post surgical patients, neurological conditions, hip and elbow dysplasia, fractures, soft tissue injuries, obesity and weight management and athletic performance training can benefit significantly from hydrotherapy as part of a treatment plan.

Our hydrotherapy treadmill allows our trained hydrotherapists to precisely control and fine tune how their patients are progressing and ensure the animal remains calm and confident in the water.

Hydrotherapy has therapeutic effects on tissues and can significantly improve the quality and rate of healing. It helps with;

• Muscle strengthening and maintenance.

• Alleviating muscle spasm.

• Increased range of motion in joints

• Improved circulation

• Cardiovascular fitness (heart & lungs)

• Increased tissue healing

• Increased speed of recovery

• Gait modification

• Increased proprioception

It is also an excellent form of exercise in patients which may be unable to maintain their normal activity levels. The water helps ensure all the muscles are used without the stress of the impact from the hard ground. Due to the increased resistance in the water the muscles are made to work harder, improving muscle tone and promoting tissue repair.
