Inside a hydrotherapy session

Clinical hydrotherapy is physiotherapy in water—not simply a swim. With a therapist alongside your dog in the pool, movement is gently guided, not just observed.

Through hands-on support, careful positioning and tailored exercises, the therapist helps shape how your dog uses their limbs and body, encouraging balanced posture and purposeful movement. Each session is adapted in the moment to your dog’s comfort and ability, with the aim of improving function and making everyday movement easier.

Treatment and progress

Support for recovery and changing mobility.

Hydrotherapy may support recovery after surgery or injury, arthritis, reduced strength and neurological or gait changes, as well as conditioning and weight management.

More than water alone.

When appropriate, hydrotherapy can be combined with massage, soft-tissue work, laser or PEMF therapy to support your dog’s wider rehabilitation plan.

Connected with your veterinary care

We review your dog’s health and clinical history and work with your veterinary team. New patients need referral or consent; treatment is adapted or postponed when needed.

Progress at their pace.

We check comfort and movement at every visit, adjusting treatment as your dog progresses. Practical exercise and activity guidance helps you support them between appointments.

Before you book

A few helpful answers.

Talk to us if you are unsure about the right next step.

Does my dog need a veterinary referral?

New physiotherapy and hydrotherapy patients need veterinary referral or consent. Contact us if you are unsure and we can guide you through the next step.

Where do we start?

Start with an initial assessment so we can review your dog’s clinical history, movement and comfort, discuss your goals and plan appropriate care.

What if my dog has additional needs?

Please tell us about medical, mobility or behavioural concerns before booking. We will talk through what may be appropriate and shape care around your dog.

Is hydrotherapy suitable for every dog?

No. We review health, history and mobility before treatment. Hydrotherapy may need to be adapted or postponed when it is not appropriate for the dog.
