Benefits of Hydrotherapy:

Massage:

Hydrotherapy pools consists of the moving water with various pressures and currents that help massage different muscles. As a result, your body will be relaxed. The water pressure aims to release muscle tension, just as a normal massage would. It also improves flexibility, enhances the digestion, and strengthens your immunity system.

Heat:

Typical hydrotherapy pools are set at warmer temperatures. The rise in the temperature helps with the dilation of blood vessels increasing blood circulation and flow. Heat can also help your body release and eliminate toxins; decreasing the inflammation and ultimately restoring injured muscle tissue. Combined with water pressure, the heat and temperature of the water is designed to completely relax and sooth sore muscles.

Buoyancy:

The buoyancy of the water will reduce your body weight by almost 90%. This can help relieve the pressure on the spine, ligaments, and joints. This kind of treatment is best for those suffering with arthritis. Buoyancy reduces the stiffness in the body and allows you to move more easily. The gentle resistance in the water will also help with rebuilding strength.
