Walton Lodge Hydrotherapy Referal Centre:

Walton Lodge Veterinary Clinics Ltd offer this unique service for your pets.

The recuperative and healing properties of hydrotherapy are based on its mechanical and/or thermal effects.

It exploits the pet's body reaction to hot and cold stimuli, to the protracted application of heat, to pressure exerted by the water and to the senstaion it gives. 

The nerves carry impulses felt at the skin deeper into the body, where they are instrumental in stimulating the immune system, influencing the production of stress hormones, invigorating the circulation and digestion, encouraging blood flow, and lessening pain sensitivity.

It is excellent for treating hip dysplasia, arthritis and also fittness and weight loss.

The hydrotherapy centre is one of the best in Hertfordshire and is run by one of our top Stevenage qualified veterinary nurses, Lianne Tucker, who has had extensive training in all aspects of hydrotherapy.
