Hot Spa Benefits

The  Polythermal Spa can be used to assist manual massage and passive ROM exercises. It also can produce beneficial results with the patient simply standing (if ambulatory) or lying (if recumbent) in the water.

Patients benefit from the hot spa because the hot water increases blood flow to the affected areas to improve tissue and collagen extensibility. Additionally, pain is decreased and mobility is enhanced in elderly and/or arthritic animals. It also eases muscular strains and sprains in injured dogs.

It can be used as:

  • A stand-alone piece of equipment to perform physiotherapy, stretching and rang-of-motion exercises in warm water
  • A warm-up prior to exercise such as treadmill work on the Westcoast Hydrotherapy Under Water Treadmill
  • A cool-down after a therapeutic session

Delivery and installation

Delivery and installation is calculated on a job by job basis. Most installations require a one – two day installation. However new buildings can benefit from having pipes and wires placed in trenches during the build process, these jobs will require additional visits and possibly additional costs.
