"U" - Underwater treadmill (水底跑步機)

Underwater treadmill is a form of hydrotherapy which also includes swimming.

Tuesday 17th July 2018

Hydrotherapy is another type of exercise that we use alongside land-based exercises as part of our complete physiotherapy plan.
Hydrotherapy, when used at the right time in recovery, it can help strengthen individual muscles and build endurance by utilising the water’s buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure and viscosity. Swimming and Underwater treadmill are very different in the way they encourage use of the muscles and joint range of motion and so this needs to be considered too.

Making muscles to manage hip dysplasia! Goldie puppy Fan Shu builds strength and stability.

When we met Fan Shu as a puppy at 10months of age, he had both severe hip dysplasia and a shoulder injury causing deformity and pain. Luckily, he was adopted and his pet pawrents bought him to us to first help with pain and then create an exercise plan to keep him both comfortable and build him up to be fit for life.
