Tansy is a 9 year old Labrador Retriever. She suffered from hip dyplasia and elbow dysplasia, both common conditions in this breed which lead to osteoarthritis and chronic pain and lameness. Tansy swam for several years and came for a session once a fortnight, aiding her overall fitness. She swam for 20 minutes against the full power jets. The swimming helped to maintain her muscle mass, support her joints and improve the range of movement. This increased her physical power and kept her bodyweight within the normal limits. Hydrotherapy provided Tansy with a pain free lifestyle and excellent quality of life,
