Chronic back pain, Fibromyalgia, arthritis and a whole host of other ailments leave Americans living in constant pain. You have suffered long enough. Hydrotherapy could be just what you need, but what exactly is it and how does it work?
Hydrotherapy is basically the use of water to help treat physical or psychological ailments. It is actually a practice that can be traced all the way back to the ancient Greeks, where they would use warm water spas and exercise to help themselves feel better. Today, there is a lot of research that has gone into the science behind hydrotherapy. It all points to the fact that the Greeks knew what they were doing, even if they didn’t know why it worked.
So how does it work?
In simple terms, the immersion in warm water dilates your blood vessels, which increases blood flow. This increased blood flow promotes healing in injured parts of your body. The heat also soothes your muscles and increases movement in your joints. All of these things allow you to move and work in ways that may otherwise be too painful or dangerous.
How can a spa help?
Investing in your own spa can be of great help to your hydrotherapy because you can enjoy the benefits every day. However you do want to be careful which spa you purchase – not all spas are designed for hydrotherapy. Tubs for hydrotherapy have strategically placed jets, like those found in Caldera hot tubs, to specifically target certain muscle groups. They also need to have the right amount of force behind the jets. It is most helpful when the tub has a comprehensive control panel so you can fully customize your experience. This lets you target the areas that you need to target, creating the perfect hydrotherapy for you.
