Hydrotherapy
Has your pet recently undergone surgery or experienced an injury that is affecting mobility? Hydrotherapy might be the ideal solution.
At Animal Medical Center of Bel Air, we pride ourselves on remaining at the forefront of advances in veterinary medicine. As such, we are pleased to offer a number of advanced, innovative and integrative therapy options, including hydrotherapy. If your pet is recovering from injury or surgery or is struggling with illness or age-related mobility issues, hydrotherapy can help.
What is hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy uses an underwater treadmill to administer rehabilitation and therapy. This practice uses the inherent properties of water, including relative density, buoyancy and resistance to deliver treatment in a way that is safe and comfortable. Because of these properties, the patient can move in a way that is functional, muscle challenging and mechanically correct without being painful.
Hydrotherapy reduces the pressure on tender joints, relaxes sore muscles and improves mobility and flexibility, enabling faster recovery from surgery or injury.
What are the benefits of hydrotherapy?
Rehabilitation therapy using an underwater treadmill has been proven to be effective at improving:
- Strength
- Muscle endurance
- Range of motion
- Cardiovascular endurance
- Agility
- Mental psyche
Hydrotherapy can also be a great exercise option for pets who are overweight or elderly because it reduces stress on the bones and joints.
What can hydrotherapy treat?
Many conditions can benefit from hydrotherapy, but it is primarily used to treat anything that causes lack of strength or decreased range of motion. Some of the cases we have successfully handled at Animal Medical Center of Bel Air include:
- Post-surgical recovery
- Muscle strains
- Disk disease
- Joint pain and inflammation
- Spinal cord injuries
- Nerve damage
- Hip replacement recovery/rehabilitation
- Arthritis
If your pet suffers from any of the above conditions or is struggling with mobility issues, hydrotherapy may be the ideal solution. Contact the dedicated team at Animal Medical Center of Bel Air to learn more or to schedule a consultation.

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Animal Medical Center of Bel Air is the best! We have been taking our dog here since we moved up to the bel air area about 5 years ago. We have always had a good experience but this past visit was above and beyond. I had a sick pup and also a sick kiddo at home. I called and explained my situation and when I arrived Lynne met me outside to bring my dog in so I could stay with my kids in the car. The staff came out to my car to discuss the plan and review costs and then brought him right out to me when they were done treating him. They are all so kind and helpful. Can't recommend this team enough!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both my pups were seen here for dental extractions. I could not thank this place enough! We were given quick and great care. Also, in comparison to other vets in the area this place is the most reasonably priced!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you for being opened on a Sunday at a time of need!! My dog is getting much better a week later tabs to a vet examination, blood work and medicine. The staff was friendly and professional.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AMC of Bel Air has always treated myself and Maddie (senior cat) as one of their own. The Dr is very thorough, professional and knowledgable. The staff follows up and checks in periodically after visits to ensure any questions are answered and to check on Maddie’s well being. We love AMC of Bel Air!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is our vet for life. It is truly so hard to find veterinarians anymore that aren't owned by large corporations and then to find one with such expertise, ethics, and practical sincerity...very rare. Plus there is no one in the office who isn't amazing.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are very happy with the experience at the Animal Medical Center. Excellent staff, thoughtful Dr. and a clean and comfortable environment. Even Sam (the dog:) doesn't mind going! Woof!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about this vet and his entire staff. They are truly amazing. Every time I call, they get us in quickly. They are incredibly kind, compassionate, and gentle with my dog, and it’s clear they genuinely care about her well-being. What really stands out is how they always check in on her after appointments — that extra level of care does not go unnoticed. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such loving, attentive hands. I’m beyond grateful to have found a veterinary office that treats my dog like family.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
