Kate works part time alongside an amazing team at PawFit Veterinary Physiotherapy and Hydrotherapy Centre in Whitchurch, Shropshire.

​

As a purpose built rehabilitation centre, it offers fantastic treatment facilities, including physiotherapy treatment rooms, a state of the art under-water treadmill and hydrotherapy pool for treatment of canine and feline patients. We also offer Shock Wave therapy to relieve pain, speed healing, and improve quality of healing.

​

Benefits of hydrotherapy include...

​​

• Water pressure helps decrease pain and inflammation, and reduce oedema (swelling)

• Relaxation of muscle tension and/or muscle spasm

• Increased range of movement in water helping to ease stiff and arthritic joints

• Buoyancy provides support for dogs which struggle with exercise due to joint or spinal conditions

• Gait re-education, proprioceptive input for neurological conditions

• Method of controlled exercise for dogs on restricted walks

• Improved cardiovascular fitness

• Release of endorphins
