Market Overview

Veterinary treadmills are used in the physical therapy and rehabilitation of animals to encourage the patients to redevelop gait and body position while walking. Treadmills have been historically used in human training as well as rehabilitation and are currently gaining popularity in the equine veterinary world.

Conventional treadmills, in veterinary rehabilitation and sports medicine, are basically used to improve gait characteristics and promote weight bearing after a surgery or an injury. Treadmills challenge balance, sense of position and coordination, thereby helping to normalize the hip and knee range of motion.

If a patient sustains an injury to either the hip or knees or undergoes a surgery to either joint, exercising the patient in a supervised and safe environment on a conventional treadmill is effective and tolerated.

Underwater treadmills allow for resistance training and buoyancy while walking on treadmills submerged in 80 degree water. An underwater treadmill comprises a treadmill, water tank and filtration units. Veterinary treadmills are used for post-operative strengthening, reconditioning and endurance.

Veterinary treadmills are also used in weight loss, osteoarthritis management and neurological disabilities. Combining the properties of water and exercise-controlled environment offers various benefits. For example, warm water helps in circulation and keeps the muscles warm during exercise, while buoyancy helps support the weight of the animal.

Rise in the number of diseases, increased spending on animals and increasing disposable incomes drive the Veterinary treadmills market. Significant increase in pet ownership and increase in pet insurance in developed and developing countries also boost the growth of veterinary treadmills market.

Public awareness of canine and equine rehabilitation propel the growth of veterinary treadmills market. On the other hand, the lack of awareness and veterinary professionals in middle and low income economies hinder the growth of the veterinary treadmills market.
