Underwater treadmill physical therapy or hydrotherapy Walking on an underwater treadmill is a highly effective exercise. It is a treatment that helps improve the nervous system, muscles, and tendons of all four legs. After bone and joint surgery, dogs need to recuperate, causing them to not use their legs very well.
