Hydrotherapy is one of the oldest types of treatment for disease. It utilizes water and massage and is believed to promote wellness and pain relief.

When water is used in hydrotherapy, it is based on the thermal and mechanical effects the treatment carries. The body reacts to both hot and cold stimuli and uses various pressures with water that can have a beneficial effect on your nerves and skin. It is believed to enhance and strengthen the immune system, encourage better blood circulation and digestion and reduce pain in the body.

Hydrotherapy involves being submerged in a body of water at a spa. This may be a pool or a bathtub and you will experience the sensation of weightlessness. The water will also have a massaging effect as it works on various parts of your body to soothe or to invigorate or revitalize.

It is believed that hydrotherapy carries many great benefits that can lead to your body feeling better as a whole and in promoting better health. The most obvious is the relief of tension in the body and mind, which can be achieved by the massaging effects of the water as tight muscles are loosened and the body begins to relax.
