Hydrotherapy
Excellent for Rehab and also great fun.
Physiotherapy
Good and effective Peri-Operative Physiotherapy requires trained Professionals and excellent post operative analgesia.
We have a hydrotherapy unit in our practice. This houses an underwater treadmill, which is operated by one of our 3 qualified Hydrotherapists. We are currently the only NARCH (National Association of Registered Canine Hydrotherapists) registered Hydrotherapy unit in West Yorkshire. Our hydrotherapists work alongside Hannah Theakston ACPAT Cat A Physiotherapist, to give a complete rehabilitation service.
The surgeons at Torrington Orthopaedics understand that Orthopaedic Surgery in most instances only lays the foundation for a good outcome. In order to maximise longterm recovery and to assist in the process in the immediate post operative period, Rehabilitation is essential.
In the management of non surgical Orthopaedic Problems again we rely strongly on the Hydrotherapists and Physiotherapist to improve Joint Range of Motion, Recovery of muscle mass and function and to improve posture and position awareness.
Hydrotherapy can also assist with managing boredom, weight gain and lack of fitness generally associated with joint disease by providing low impact exercise that raises metabolic rate and improves muscle activation.
