What a session looks like
Water depth sets how much weight the dog carries; speed and duration progress week by week. Sessions are short, often ten to twenty minutes, and always supervised in the tank.
What to ask before booking
- Which certification they hold, and which body issued it.
- Whether they require a referral or exam notes from your primary vet.
- How many sessions they expect before you can judge whether it is working.
