What is Medical Hydrotherapy™"

Hydrotherapy has been around for thousands of years. In its simplest form, hydrotherapy can be described as any treatment of illness and injury through the use of water. This includes the use of cleanses, hot and cold soaking, water massage and various other methods of use, even swimming. Medical Hydrotherapy™ is a specific therapeutic concept and refers to the use of sanitary, temperature appropriate, non-aggressive water massage. The gentle massage in personally adjusted water temperatures permits you to stay in the treatments for much longer periods without the risk of overheating. The longer the exposure to gentle water massage treatments the greater the help your body receives in getting rid of all those toxins that may be causing joint pain and inflammation. It also helps relax muscles and relieves pressure on joints and bones. It also relaxes you, both mentally and physically, and constitutes a safe and age appropriate substitution for vigorous exercise.

Used to treat common ailments like muscle cramps, muscle weakness, diabetes, circulatory diseases, arthritis, osteoarthritis, back pain, muscle, bone and connective tissue injuries, balance disorders, and stress and stress-related disorders, hydrotherapy is fast becoming a popular and beneficial home health treatment, especially among seniors.

Hydrotherapy makes you healthier in two ways:

Thermal Effects: Used appropriately, both warm and cold baths can help lessen pain and discomfort and can improve the healing process.

Warm baths open up the small blood vessels that are closest to surface tissues. This leads to increased blood flow and circulation which helps your tissues heal, oxygenate and purge toxins. Warm water also slows down your internal organs and is good at lessening aches and pains. Heat increases the production of beneficial body hormones and stimulates the immune system. Warm, moist air from a hot bath can help open up congested or constricted airways in your lungs, throat and sinuses.

On the other hand, cold water therapy is effective for numerous conditions such as sprains, where constriction of vessels reduces swelling and other issues.

Mechanical Effects: The massaging effect of the air bubbles, like the motion of water jets; create beneficial chemical reactions in your skin and tissues. This, too, leads to increased circulation, which helps oxygenate tissues and expel toxins. Also, as we age, gravity and impact injure joints and connective tissues. Being in water decreases your body weight by 90%. This buoyancy relieves physical stress from your joints and bones, helping to relive pain and discomfort. This floating effect also helps relax the body, because muscles don’t have to work as hard to keep the body in position and are given a chance to relax.

Treating common Ailments with Hydrotherapy

The four most popular types of ailments people use hydrotherapy to treat are: arthritis, pain, insomnia and diabetes.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy for Arthritis

One in six Americans has some type of arthritis. Doctors recommend warm hydrotherapy for treating arthritis. It has been shown that warm water treatment is far more effective than dry heat treatments, like heating pads. In some instances, doctors will recommend alternating hot and cold treatments, especially for treating the hands and feet. The repeated dilation of the arteries generally has a more profound effect on the reduction of pain in these areas.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy for Lower Back Pain

Back pain is the #2 reason in the United States for doctor visits. Back pain can be caused by a number of things, including stiff or sore muscles, diseases, disorders or injuries of the vertebrae and connective tissue, and pinched nerves. Studies conducted over the last ten years have shown that people who suffer from back pain and who use hydrotherapy as a treatment experience marked reductions in pain versus those people who do not use hydrotherapy. In addition, people who treat their back pain with hydrotherapy use fewer drugs to control their pain, so they don’t experience any of the negative side effects associated with some of these drugs.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy for Insomnia

Almost all people suffer from insomnia - or the inability to fall asleep - at some point in their lives. Warm baths have been shown to improve both your ability to fall asleep and the quality of your sleep, and as such, hydrotherapy is one of the most popular home remedies for insomnia and sleeplessness.
