Land Treadmill
Land treadmill therapy works to enhance the usage of the muscles and upregulate brain activity. With various adjustable settings such as speed, inclination, and duration, treadmill work can be tailored to each individual’s condition and physical ability. Appropriate pace and movement can be built up in a safe and controlled manner, while the stable surface with good traction will also provide a sturdy training platform for your pet. Once his/her condition has been stablized, the treadmill can be used safely in conjunction with different equipment to create obstacle courses for endurance, while training the abductor muscles and enhancing your pet’s reflexes and confidence under the guidance of our trained rehabilitation practitioners.
