Why Water?

The natural properties of water: buoyancy, high resistance, hydrostatic pressure and its thermal effect have unparalleled therapeutic and conditioning benefits that have been utlized for centuries.

The horse and dog water treadmills provide a low-impact workout that helps the animal to increase muscle strength and endurance and allows for a quicker transition to land-based conditioning and therapy.

Hydrokinetic exercise is facilitated by using the animal's own natural movement on a non-slip, solid surface treadmill.

Treatments are customized through variable water heights and speeds to accommodate different sized animals and can be adjusted for various weight bearing exercises.

The Water Treadmill Provides:

	Reduced weight bearing
	Soft tissue mobilization
	Modulation and reduction of pain
	Joint decompression
	Increased range of motion
	Reduced impact on limbs
	Reduction of friction between articulating joints
	Hydrostatic pressure to assist blood flow and reduce swelling

The Water Treadmill Benefits:

	Reduced recovery time
	Improved performance
	Accelerated conditioning
	Encourages muscle development
	Increases cardiovascular fitness
	Improves flexibility
	Promotes correct posture and a balanced gait
	Minimizes performance injuries
