Underwater Treadmills, Laser Therapy: How Pet Rehab Helps Dogs and Cats Heal

Denver – September 12, 2026 -- A new HelloNation article breaks down how structured rehabilitation therapy helps pets recover from surgery, injury, or age-related decline, using tools ranging from underwater treadmills to laser treatments.

Underwater treadmills reduce joint strain while building muscle

The therapy uses water buoyancy to support a pet's body weight, easing pressure on joints while the water's resistance helps rebuild strength. It is particularly effective for dogs with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or those recovering from surgery, though cats can also participate when introduced gradually.

Balance tools like wobble boards target coordination and fall prevention

DENVER – September 10, 2026 -- Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre is celebrating 85 years since its official grand opening gala on June 15, 1941, an event broadcast nationally by CBS and reviewed in Time Magazine.

The venue's sandstone origins stretch back 300 million years

The land was traditional territory of the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapahoe peoples before the City of Denver purchased 675 acres in 1927. Construction began in 1935 under the Morrison Civilian Conservation Corps Camp, with 500 CCC men spending four years building the venue before its 1941 completion.
