PHYSIO-TECH Catalog - The Underwater Treadmill for Canine Hydrotherapy

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document explores the advantages and features of the underwater treadmill for canine hydrotherapy, emphasizing its effectiveness in addressing issues such as obesity, immobility, age-related conditions, diseases, injuries, and overbreeding in dogs. The treadmill facilitates pain-free movement and muscle development in water, which is more challenging and effective than on land due to water resistance.
Benefits of Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy provides several benefits, including reduced impact on body weight, increased resistance for effective training, and temperature benefits that relax muscles and enhance circulation.
PHYSIO-TECH Underwater Treadmill Features
The PHYSIO-TECH underwater treadmill is designed for safe, gentle, and effective training. Key features include dual functionality as a dry and underwater treadmill, a wide access door for easy entry and exit, multiple water use with an eco-friendly filtration system, hygienic water options without chemical additives, a compact design for space-saving installation, and safe operation without high-voltage current.
Model Overview
The document describes various treadmill models catering to different needs:
  • PHYSIOmini: Suitable for medium-sized dogs, easy handling, and minimal space requirements.
  • CLASSICO: Robust and versatile, suitable for professional use with manual treadmill inclination.
  • COMFORT: Offers semi-automatic features and continuous treadmill inclination adjustment.
  • PREMIUM: Provides unlimited therapy options with remote-controlled adjustments.
Optional Accessories
Additional accessories enhance the treadmill's functionality, including a counterflow system for increased training challenge, AquaSOFT software for recording and analyzing therapy data, and a support frame with a harness for dogs with limited mobility.
Installation Requirements
The treadmill is designed for easy installation and transportation, requiring minimal space and a standard electrical supply. It can be installed in challenging spatial conditions and does not require a high-voltage current. A separate electric circuit is recommended.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The treadmill is designed for easy cleaning, with all parts accessible for thorough cleaning using household cleaning agents. Regular maintenance includes rinsing the filter after each treatment, vacuuming residual particles daily, and performing a basic cleaning weekly. A more profound cleaning is recommended every one to two months.
Hygiene and Safety Features
The treadmill includes features such as water-tight flap doors, protective shields, and an emergency off button for safety. It also has an internal water filter and an optional aqua-filter with a UV lamp to maintain water clarity and hygiene without chemical additives.
Special Solutions and Customization
Mobile versions of the treadmill are available for installation in vehicles or trailers. Custom designs can be created to meet specific customer requirements, such as supplying multiple therapy basins from one tank system.
Technical Service and Support
PHYSIO-TECH offers comprehensive technical support in multiple languages and provides on-site service, maintenance, repairs, and relocations. They also offer leasing options through various providers.

Fitness, Wellness & Therapy Dogs, like humans, suffer from problems caused by civilization. Overweight, lack of movement, age, diseases, injuries, but also overbreeding are factors that cause pain when moving. In the water the body is released from its own weight.

This is why a training in water is more challenging than on “dry land” and much more effective. An additional advantage of hydrotherapy is provided by temperature: Warm...
