⚠️ The Hidden Impact of Repetitive Ball Throwing on Your Dog’s Joints

While fetch is a favourite game for many dogs, consistent high-intensity ball throwing can place significant strain on their musculoskeletal system. The sudden acceleration, sharp turns, and repetitive impact can contribute to:
• Joint stress and inflammation
• Early onset arthritis
• Muscle imbalances and overuse injuries

This is particularly important for young, growing dogs, senior pets, and breeds predisposed to joint conditions such as hip or elbow dysplasia.

💡 Recommendation:
Fetch can still be enjoyed in moderation, but should be balanced with controlled, low-impact activities such as:
• Structured walks
• Scent work and enrichment games
• Swimming or hydrotherapy
• Gentle strength and conditioning exercises

By varying activities, you’ll protect your dog’s joints, support long-term mobility, and still keep playtime engaging.

💧 Hydrotherapy isn’t just about the pool! 💧

Behind every relaxing, therapeutic session is a whole lot of admin work that keeps everything flowing smoothly. 📋✨

From booking sessions and updating client notes to tracking water quality checks and liaising with healthcare providers — admin is the backbone of our work. Without it, we couldn’t provide safe, consistent, and effective hydrotherapy.

It’s not just paperwork.
It’s making sure:
✅ Clients feel valued and supported
✅ Records are accurate for progress tracking
✅ Safety and compliance are always a priority

So next time you enjoy a hydrotherapy session, remember — there’s a wave of behind-the-scenes organisation making it possible! 🌊

Recover Stronger: Hydrotherapy After Surgery 🏥🐾

Surgery is just the first step—rehab is where the magic happens.
Hydrotherapy plays a huge role in helping dogs heal after procedures like:
🦴 Cruciate ligament (ACL/CCL) repair
🦵 TPLO surgeries
With warm water support, dogs can start moving sooner—without stressing their healing joints or incisions.
🌊 Promotes circulation for faster healing
🐕 Builds muscle without weight-bearing
🫶 Eases stiffness and boosts morale
We’ll work closely with your vet to create a recovery plan that’s safe and effective.
Is your dog recovering from surgery? We’re here to help them bounce back. 💙

This beautiful girl has just started at CHC. Her owners rescued her earlier this year, she was very timid of humans and absolutely terrified of the car.

They worked super hard to build her confidence especially with the car so much so that she now LOVES it. One day she jumped up to get in but her owners hadn’t quite opened the door so she ended up bashing straight into it.

Unfortunately this led her to injure her cruciate ligament. Her owners decided not to do surgery and are coming to me to do the complimentary route.

She has taken hydrotherapy in her stride and has been nothing but an angel. We’re super proud of her and are excited for her rehabilitation journey.

Hydrotherapists: Guiding recovery, one step—and one session—at a time. 💧

Behind every patient making strides in the pool is a hydrotherapist blending science, compassion, and unwavering dedication.
We’re more than just movement specialists. We’re educators, motivators, and lifelong learners committed to helping others heal.

Our work lives at the intersection of clinical insight and canine connection.
We combine a deep understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and rehabilitation tools with empathy and individualized care.

Every day, we show up with:
✅ Clinical knowledge that adapts to each patient’s needs
✅ Clear, thoughtful communication that builds trust
✅ Compassion that meets people where they are
✅ A hunger to keep learning, growing, and improving
✅ A purpose-driven focus on long-term wellbeing

Whether helping a dog walk again after surgery, manage a chronic condition, or simply move with less pain, hydrotherapists play a vital role in each patient’s recovery story.

It’s a career of quiet impact—but if your dog has ever been helped by a hydrotherapist, you know just how transformative that impact can be.

💙 Tag a hydrotherapist who deserves recognition.
💧 Double tap if you believe in the power of movement, water, and care.

Hydrotherapy vs. Walks: What’s Best for Your Dog? 🐕💦

We often get asked: “Why not just take my dog for a walk?”
Here’s the key difference 👇
💧 Hydrotherapy is a low-impact, resistance-based workout that protects joints while still building strength.
🚶 Regular exercise (like walks or play) can be hard on aging or injured joints, and may not target specific muscle groups.
In the water, dogs can:
✅ Move freely without pain
✅ Burn calories safely
✅ Recover from injuries with less strain
So while daily walks are great, hydrotherapy can offer therapeutic results that traditional exercise can’t.
