About Us
Welcome to CS Hydro Physio, where we have had the pleasure of supporting hundreds of dogs over the past 20 years. Our mission is to provide exceptional care for every dog we treat, focusing on increasing mobility, restoring function, promoting healing, building muscle, and reducing pain. By integrating hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, and advanced pain management techniques such as laser therapy, we provide the best possible treatment specifically tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether recovering from injury, managing age-related changes, or suffering from muscular weakness, we can provide skilled treatment to enhance your dog’s well-being.
Why Choose Us?
At CS Hydro Physio, we pride ourselves on our comprehensive approach to canine therapy. Unlike a standard hydrotherapy clinic offering singular services, we combine hydrotherapy with therapeutic techniques and a high level of expertise to achieve the highest quality of care for your dog. We treat holistically, looking at your dogs as a whole, rather than focusing solely on a specific injury or ailment. As part of our CS Hydro family, we aim to support you and your dog throughout the rest of their life, helping you monitor their ongoing health, preventing further injury, reducing the rate at which they age, and giving you the most time with your dog.

Our Services
Canine hydrotherapy is a beneficial treatment method that utilizes water to promote healing, rehabilitation, and overall wellness in dogs. At CS Hydro Physio, we offer two main types of hydrotherapy: underwater treadmill and hydrotherapy pool.
Underwater Treadmill: The underwater treadmill is a specialized device that allows dogs to walk or run on a moving belt submerged in water. This therapy provides controlled resistance based exercise, allowing for gait rehabilitation with partial weight-bearing, while still reducing the impact on joints. It is particularly beneficial for dogs recovering from surgery, who have suffered form neurological conditions, with muscle weakness, and for those who are nervous of swimming.
Hydrotherapy Pool: Our hydrotherapy pool is designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for dogs to swim and exercise. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints and muscles, making it an ideal therapy for dogs with mobility issues or chronic pain, arthritis, and reduced range of motion. Swimming in the hydrotherapy pool promotes cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and overall well-being in dogs of all ages and fitness levels.
Benefits of Canine Hydrotherapy:
- Pain Relief: Alleviates discomfort associated with arthritis, injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions.
- Improved Mobility: Enhances joint flexibility, muscle strength, and range of motion.
- Accelerated Healing: Facilitates faster recovery from surgery, injury, or trauma.
- Weight Management: Provides a low-impact exercise option for overweight or obese dogs.
- Mental Stimulation: Offers a fun and engaging activity that promotes mental stimulation and reduces stress.
Canine physiotherapy and massage are gentle yet effective treatments aimed at improving your dog’s overall well-being and quality of life. These hands-on techniques are designed to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility, and enhance mobility in dogs of all ages and breeds. Canine physiotherapy offers a variety of techniques, including massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization and more… At CS Hydro Physio, we customize treatments to meet your dog’s individual needs for improved mobility and well-being.
Benefits of Canine Physiotherapy:
- Pain Relief: Helps alleviate discomfort associated with conditions such as arthritis, injuries, and post-operative recovery.
- Improved Mobility: Enhances joint flexibility and muscle function, allowing for better movement and range of motion.
- Stress Reduction: Promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety, providing emotional and mental benefits for your furry friend.
- Faster Recovery: Accelerates healing and rehabilitation processes, leading to quicker recovery times after injury or surgery.
- Prevention of Injuries: Identifies and addresses potential issues early on, helping to prevent future injuries and promote long-term health.
Class IV Laser Therapy is an advanced treatment method that utilises light energy to promote healing and reduce pain in dogs. It works by delivering concentrated light energy to specific areas of your dog’s body, stimulating cellular activity, reducing inflammation, increases blood flow and accelerating the natural healing process.
Benefits of Class IV Laser Therapy for Canine Rehabilitation:
- Pain Relief: Alleviates discomfort associated with various conditions such as arthritis, injuries, and post-surgery recovery.
- Faster Healing: Enhances tissue repair and regeneration, speeding up recovery times for your furry friend.
- Improved Mobility: Reduces inflammation and swelling, promoting better joint function and mobility.
- Non-Invasive: A safe and non-invasive treatment option with minimal to no side effects, making it suitable for dogs of all ages.
Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or simply in need of a little extra TLC, Class 4 Laser Therapy can be a valuable addition to their rehabilitation program. Speak to our team at CS Hydro Physio to learn more about how this innovative therapy can benefit your canine companion.
Canine Gait Analysis is a valuable tool used to track the progress of rehabilitation programs and detect early signs of injury or limb offloading in dogs. By observing and analyzing your dog’s walking pattern, our trained professionals can gain insights into their overall movement and identify any abnormalities or asymmetries.
Benefits of Canine Gait Analysis:
- Monitoring Progress: Allows us to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation treatments and make adjustments as needed to optimize your dog’s recovery.
- Early Detection: Helps us identify subtle changes in your dog’s gait that may indicate injury, discomfort, or the need for further intervention.
- Preventing Complications: By detecting issues early on, we can implement strategies to prevent further injury or complications, ensuring your dog’s long-term well-being.
- Customized Care: Enables us to tailor rehabilitation programs to address specific gait abnormalities or weaknesses, promoting better outcomes for your furry friend.
Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply experiencing mobility issues, gait analysis plays a crucial role in their rehabilitation journey. Trust our team at CS Hydro Physio to utilize this advanced technique to provide personalized care and support for your beloved canine companion.
In addition to hydrotherapy, CS Hydro Physio offers a range of electrotherapies to complement your dog’s rehabilitation program, including heat therapy, pulse magnetic therapy, and therapeutic ultrasound. These therapies provide unique benefits to support your dog’s recovery and well-being:
Heat Therapy: Applying heat to specific areas of your dog’s body promotes relaxation, increases blood flow, and reduces pain and stiffness, particularly beneficial for musculoskeletal conditions and soft tissue injuries.
Pulse Magnetic Field Therapy Therapy: Utilizing electromagnetic fields to stimulate cellular activity and promote healing, pulse magnetic therapy reduces inflammation, accelerates tissue repair, and relieves pain, making it suitable for various conditions like arthritis and fractures.
Therapeutic Ultrasound: Using high-frequency sound waves to penetrate tissues and promote healing at the cellular level, therapeutic ultrasound reduces pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms, commonly used for soft tissue injuries and scar tissue treatment.
These therapies, alongside hydrotherapy, ensure a comprehensive approach to your dog’s rehabilitation, promoting improved mobility and overall well-being.
At CS Hydro Physio, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive care that extends beyond our clinic walls. That’s why we offer home visits and environmental assessments as part of our rehabilitation services. These personalized services allow us to evaluate your dog’s home environment and tailor their treatment plan to best suit their needs.
Home Visits and Environmental Assessments:

- Gain insights into potential challenges and address concerns.
- Evaluate factors impacting mobility and safety, such as flooring and furniture.
