Most dogs, amazingly, enjoy physical therapy!
Even dogs who don't usually like water often enjoy the underwater
treadmill!

Dogs love to work and play. |
Many conditions can improve with the proper exercises and treatment.
A Power Dog session usually lasts for 1/2 hour. The first session
is an evaluation and lasts for 1 hour.
