💦 Hydrotherapy Initial Consultation, Assessment & Treatment

1 hr£65

Our Hydrotherapy Initial Consultation, Assessment & Treatment session is the first step in creating a safe and effective rehabilitation or fitness plan for your dog 💦

During this appointment, we carry out a consultation and physical assessment to understand your dog’s medical history, mobility, and individual needs. This allows us to tailor hydrotherapy sessions to support recovery, improve strength, and help manage long-term conditions.

The session includes:
🐾 Initial Consultation – We discuss your dog’s veterinary history, lifestyle, and any concerns to ensure hydrotherapy is appropriate and safe.
🔍 Physical Assessment – A hands-on evaluation of your dog’s movement, posture, muscle condition, and joint mobility to identify areas that may benefit from targeted therapy.
💧 First Hydrotherapy Session – Your dog will be gently introduced to the hydrotherapy equipment, such as a hydrotherapy pool or underwater treadmill, and complete their first session in a calm and supportive environment.
Hydrotherapy uses the natural resistance and buoyancy of water to allow dogs to exercise while reducing stress on their joints.

Hydrotherapy can benefit dogs who:
🐶 Are recovering from surgery or injury
🦴 Have arthritis or joint conditions
💪 Need to rebuild muscle strength
⚖️ Require weight management support
🏃 Want to improve overall fitness and mobility

Following the session, we will discuss your dog’s progress and recommend a tailored treatment plan moving forward 🐕💙

Just had Benji's second visit to RJ. He's really enjoying his sessions. As a dog who can't be let off lead, I am always looking for different things for him to do. He's a flyball dog so this is a great way to help increase his fitness levels in a safe environment and as a bonus, he loves swimming! We will be back on a regular basis. Thank you Rumer, so glad my team mates recommended you to us!

Rumer is an angel, shes friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly my dogs love her. As agility sport dogs, these sessions are invaluable, not only for keeping my girls fit, strong and confident but also for building skills incase of an emergency. 100% recommend!
