Why is Hydrotherapy Good for You?

When you feel better you do better! Hydrotherapy helps you feel better all over. It does this in a number of ways.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy

1. Hydrotherapy helps reduce muscle tension and relieves pain.

The weightlessness you feel when under water can help relieve tension in the body by supporting aching muscles making it easier to move. Hydrotherapy stimulates the release of endorphins, acting as a natural pain reliever which helps to reduce muscle soreness. 

2. Hydrotherapy helps rehabilitate injured muscles.

By being immersed in warm or hot water you raise the body temperature. This increases blood flow around the circulatory system and so can alleviate pain. The improved circulation will in turn help to heal injured tissues and rehabilitate damaged muscles or joints.

3. Helps Boosts the immune system

The increased blood flow and circulation of white blood cells around the body allows lymph (lymph is an immune system fluid that helps collect and get rid of unwanted materials from your body) to be moved through the body more efficiently strengthening the immune system, helping to fight colds and illnesses.

4. Encourages detoxification

A hot bath can  induce considerable sweating, which is the body’s primary way of eliminating toxins. Flush out impurities and toxins through the skin on a detox holiday and help to cleanse your body.

5. Relieves stress

Hydrotherapy treatment can be effectively used whilst on a de-stress holiday by helping to reduce blood pressure caused by stress. It may also slow down the body’s reaction to anxiety and release endorphins – a natural stress fighter.
