What is Hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy is a water-based therapeutic technique. By soaking in warm, flowing water, your muscles are put into a state of relaxation, and can be massaged and soothed very effectively. It’s a great way to help improve how you feel, both physically and mentally. It can even be used to help aid the healing process following a surgery or injury with your physicians consent.

How Does It Work?

Hydrotherapy utilizes three properties of the hot tub water: buoyancy, temperature, and massage.

Buoyancy

As you immerse your body into the jet-infused water, chances are you’ll notice the immediate feeling of weightlessness. The buoyancy of the water lifts about 90% of your body weight from your muscles and joints. In doing, it removes all of the stress off your muscles and joints, making them easily susceptible to the soothing techniques of hydrotherapy.

Temperature

Once your body is relaxed in the tub, the 2nd step of hydrotherapy begins. The hot water has an almost immediate effect on your entire body once it’s relaxed. By encapsulating your entire body with warm, soothing water, hydrotherapy can help to ease tense muscles and soothe sore joints, aiding your body to reach a feeling of pure relaxation and comfort.

Massage

Once your body become relaxed, the powerful massage jets can really work their magic. The jets in our spas are strategically placed throughout the tub to target the most stress-prone and tense areas of your body. This includes your neck, shoulders, feet, and upper back.

These health benefits are only the beginning. Taking time to yourself or spending some much-needed quality time with your loved ones can greatly boost your emotional and mental health, due to reduced stress and other various benefits of social interaction. Further to that, hydrotherapy will have your muscles feeling like a million bucks for days following. And if you do a 15-25 minute session every day, you’ll experience dramatic results within just a few weeks.
