Almost new underwater treadmill for sale
Pre-owned treadmill by veterinary clinic, selling now as clinic volume is too busy to cater for physiotherapy services.
Selling at 50% off original price.
Hydro-treadmill therapy is the use of an underwater treadmill during rehabilitation to strengthen and re-educate the dog’s limbs/spine. With the help of the buoyancy of the water, it provides the ability to strengthen the patient’s muscles in an environment with little or no pressure on the joints. When placed in a water environment, it also increases flexibility, mobility, contractility of the muscle, as well as circulation. The benefits of the hydro-treadmill include:
1. Strengthening of muscles
2. Weight-loss
3. Pain management
Importantly, it is frequently observed that an animal not using a limb on land will use it in the water.
When the patient walks on the hydro-treadmill, they tend to move their limbs using an exaggerated range of motion, providing additional therapeutic benefits.
An important additional benefit of this treatment method versus traditional hydrotherapy, is that the variables (speed, resistance, and depth) can be controlled which allows for a consistently progressive therapy plan. It also allows the therapists to introduce the patient to the water in a slow, controlled manner, alleviating fear which helps the patient relax, and consequently improves the results of the therapy session. Finally, the hydro-treadmill allows us to combine other rehabilitation therapies (i.e. passive range of motion, massage, exercises) with the therapeutic benefits of the water.
