Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is a fantastic, non-weight baring exercise, which can have a multitude of benefits for your animal. The use of water for the treatment of animals is a well-recognised practice and our Animal Hydrotherapist can cater for a range of needs.

Our large indoor pool provides the perfect environment for your dog to swim; whether as part of a post-trauma/rehabilitation programme, for fitness, weight control, or just for fun.

Blossoms offer a heated pool to provide a relaxing and therapeutic environment. Warm water acts to relax muscles by increasing skin temperature which reduces pain and muscle spasm. Hydrostatic pressure property of water also works to alleviate swelling by encouraging bodily fluid movement away from the affected area.

Our ground-level walk-in ramp has been specifically designed to allow for easy exit and entry. The ramp plays an important part for dogs with a nervous disposition or those with limited mobility.

Animal hydrotherapy is delivered predominantly to dogs, although other animals can benefit from the therapeutic use of water to maintain and/or return the wellbeing of your animal.
