A closer look.
An underwater treadmill combines a moving walking surface with water. It gives the team a different environment in which to observe movement and consider rehabilitation work. It is not simply another name for a pool session.
Whether it is suitable depends on the dog and the purpose of the plan. Introduction to the equipment, confidence with the surroundings and the dog’s response all matter alongside the clinical information.
Questions to take into a conversation.
- Why would you choose this environment for my dog?
- How will you introduce the equipment and surroundings?
- What will you observe during and between appointments?
A Huxley explanation, in time.
Video footage is forthcoming. This is an image placeholder, not a playable video. The written guide is available now; a real House of Hound YouTube video can be added when supplied.
Keep a copy for your next appointment.
Download the written guide and its questions as a plain text file to read or print. It is general owner education, rather than an individual home rehabilitation plan.
