HYDROTHERAPY

Hydro-tank
Skip rehabing in 'the tank'

The WestVet Physical Therapy Center houses Idaho's only Ferno Aqua Paws Underwater Treadmill (nicknamed "the tank" by our technicians). Designed specifically for canine and feline rehabilitation, the tank offsets gravitational forces allowing early return to active exercise with minimal impact on the joints after surgery or injury. The tank is capable of varying resistance, speed, buoyancy and temperature. A customized rehabilitation program can be designed for your pet's specific needs by varying these elements.

Hydro-therapy is proven to be one of the most effective treatment modalities for optimizing post-operative healing, strengthening weak muscles, and reducing obesity.

Hydrotherapy Programs

Hydrotherapy is available per session or can be purchased in programs. Each session in a program includes hydrotherapy and rehabilitative therapy (i.e. acupuncture, manual therapy, advanced strengthening and balancing exercises).
