| What is Assisted Swimming? | |||
K9
Assisted Swimming is based on buoyancy and resistance.
The warm water and weightlessness of the dog relieves the pressure
on the joints and allows the muscles to relax. Resistance of the water
increases range of motion with minimum pain.
It can also provide a stronger workout as deemed necessary. Results
are safe, quick, and usually sustained. Assisted Swimming is also
a terrific way to keep your dog in peak physical and mental condition. |
