Ashbourne Canine Hydrotherapy Centre
We are highly qualified in Canine Hydrotherapy, and registered with the Canine Hydrotherapy Association (CHA). We are dedicated in helping your four legged companion enjoy a full and active life, whether they are recovering from surgery, injury, illness or maybe needing to keep fit or lose weight. We work closely with your vet to ensure your pet receives the best possible treatment at all times.

We provide professional, friendly and a unique service as your pet is always treated by a minimum of two practitioners at all times. We fully understand that bringing your pet for hydrotherapy for their first appointment can be quite stressful, so our ultimate aim is to make the whole experience as stress free as possible for you and your pet. With our knowledgable and calm approach to care this allows you to sit back, relax with a drink whilst we give your pet 5* treatment.
Services
A complimentary form of therapy, hydrotherapy is controlled exercise in water to encourage a faster rate of recovery which can not only aid post op patients but all aspects of muscular skeletal conditions.
The warmth of the water provides a medium that assists with pain relief and the reduction of muscle spasm.
By immersing a patient, support is provided and this allows more ability to mobilise and create normal movement patterns.
Cardiovascular fitness can be increased more easily in the water, this is perfect if a patient is on restricted land exercise.
Our state of the art underwater treadmill allows us to tailor make every patients rehabilitation programme dependant on their needs.
We can alter water levels and speed dependent on what joint we are targeting and our aims of the treatment plan.
The sanitised water, kept between 30-32degrees offers a level of buoyancy which encourages weight bearing and increased range of movement through joints which patients may find difficult on land.
Our experience and knowledge with our machine and the differing conditions that patients arrive with allow us to use different techniques depending on what we are trying to achieve.
The purpose of physiotherapy is to reduce pain and restore movement, thus improving quality of life and performance.
Physiotherapy is a fundamental part of human medicine and its value within animal health and rehabilitation is becoming increasingly more recognised.
Animals cannot directly tell us where they hurt, however Veterinary Physiotherapists undergo extensive training to be able to complete detailed assessments and help identify areas of pain or dysfunction.
This is achieved using manual techniques, electrotherapy, acupuncture, exercise regimes, and advice to owners.
We offer a range of treatments at our centre with experienced and qualified practitioners, enabling us to give your pet the best possible rehabilitation and care.
Physiotherapy and Hydrotherapy treatments both complement each other and at times it is necessary for patients to receive both physiotherapy and hydrotherapy treatment which can be for a number of reasons.
Our Physiotherapists work on a range of musculoskeletal problems with manual techniques which allows our hydrotherapists to gain a more correct gait pattern and an increased muscle mass in the correct areas in a safe and controlled manor.
