Canine and Small Animal Rehabilitation Referral Clinic
Stage 1 Hydrotherapy & Massage Therapy Supporting dogs through healing, strength, and whole-body wellbeing
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is a gentle, water-based therapy that helps dogs move and rebuild strength without the strain of full weight-bearing exercise. Using warm water, we encourage safe, controlled movement that:
Restores mobility in stiff or injured joints
Prevents muscle wastage after surgery or periods of rest
Improves cardiovascular fitness and stamina
Supports recovery without placing stress on fragile tissues
Warm water also improves circulation, helping muscles receive the nutrients they need for repair and making every movement more effective.
What is Canine Massage?
Massage therapy works by using skilled, hands-on techniques to release tension, improve circulation, and ease discomfort. For dogs, massage is much more than relaxation, it is therapeutic and purposeful. It can:
Relieve muscular tightness and soreness
Enhance flexibility and range of motion
Promote healing after injury or surgery
Reduce stress and support emotional balance
Massage helps bring the body back into alignment, allowing your dog to feel comfortable, grounded, and at ease.
Why Combine Them?
Hydrotherapy and massage complement each other beautifully. Water supports gentle rebuilding of strength, while massage addresses deeper layers of tension and comfort. Together, they create a complete approach to rehabilitation and wellbeing, working with the whole dog, not just the surface problem.
Our Philosophy
Every dog deserves to be seen, understood, and supported as an individual. That’s why our sessions are never rushed or one-size-fits-all. We tailor therapy to your dog’s body, personality, and pace, so they feel safe, nurtured, and empowered to heal.
Stage 1 is about more than recovery, it’s about giving your dog the chance to move freely, feel comfortable, and enjoy life again.
