HYDROTHERAPY

The Veterinary Rehabilitation Center

The Veterinary Rehabilitation Center provides the highest quality veterinary rehabilitation, and pain management services available. Our goal is to improve the quality of life of each of our patients and to strengthen and prolong the bond shared between our patients and their guardians. 

We offer non-invasive therapies in a warm, compassionate, and home-like environment where your pet feels comfortable and at ease. Our staff is committed to enhancing the physical, as well as the psychological well-being of the patients.

At The Veterinary Rehabilitation Center, we strive to be the best that we can be, and are continually researching and educating ourselves on the latest advances in veterinary medicine that may benefit our patients.At The Veterinary Rehabilitation Center, each patient is evaluated by a veterinarian, and an individualized water therapy treatment plan is formulated based upon the condition and needs of your pet. Your pet’s progress will be closely monitored by the veterinarians and staff.

The Veterinary Rehabilitation Center will provide water therapy in a controlled environment using the following services for our physical therapy patients:

Physical Therapy Pool: the pool has been lowered into the foundation of the building for easy accessibility. Deep water swimming may be recommended for those patients in a more advanced stage of the rehabilitation process.

Overhead Harness System: the harness system allows a comfortable transport for the injured pet in and out of the pool.

Underwater Treadmill: The underwater treadmill is incorporated into many of our rehabilitation programs. It provides us with a controlled environment that can be adjusted to the patient’s needs, including water height, treadmill speed, and use of an incline.
