What is hydrotherapy?
This is the use of water in its various forms to effect a therapeutic change in the tissues of the body. Water may be used as a vapour, hot or cold liquid, or ice. While hydrotherapy has many applications, it may not be appropriate for those with circulation problems, altered sensitivities of the skin and certain rheumatic conditions.Examples of using water vapour include facial steams for conditions ranging from acne to sinusitis. The client leans over a bucket of boiled water, with a towel over their head to trap the steam for inhalation or skin hydration. Essential oils may be added to the water for specific conditions. Steams help clear sinuses and breathing pathways and remove bacteria from the pores of the skin.Cold Hydrotherapy or cryotherapy is used to reduce inflammation from injury or overuse. It is most effective in the early (acute) stages after injury (24-72 hours). It may be applied as an ice application, a frozen towel, cold or cool compresses, gel packs, as a bath (i.e.
Hydrotherapy is the combined effect of heat, massage, and buoyancy. Warm water dilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow to sore or damaged tissues, allowing oxygen and nutrients to help overworked muscles recover faster. Massage, provided by the spas jet system, relaxes tense muscles and relieves pressure on surrounding nerves. Massage also improves circulation and accelerates the bodys natural healing process. Buoyancy reduces your bodys weight by 90%. This relieves pressure on strained joints and muscles. Hydrotherapy is widely recognized as an effective method of alleviating the tension commonly associated with stress.
