Benefits of hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy, or hydro pool therapy, is defined as a form of alternative medicine and is proven to relax injured muscles that need rehabilitation. It has been used as part of occupational therapy and physiotherapy treatment plans as it uses water for pain relief and treatment.
Movement through the water helps boost immunity as it encourages the circulation of white blood cells around the body, which rids the body of unwanted matter. Water is naturally calming, so it can reduce stress and help alleviates pain, which is why we are such big fans of this type of treatment.
Makes the immobile mobile
Hydrotherapy has also shown extraordinary results for our clients in improving the mobility of those who struggle to balance on land, as it removes gravity barriers and allows for more independence. Our hydrotherapy treatment has also shown phenomenal results for clients with disability. With the freedom of movement in water and using water resistance, blood circulation improves and balance becomes easier for those who may not be as stable on land.
Using the water’s physical properties
Hydrotherapy takes advantage of the physical properties of water like temperature (which is always kept constant) and water pressure.
It is naturally calming and can empower the client undergoing rehabilitation treatment by removing barriers associated with mobility on land. As experts in hydrotherapy, we tailor this form of rehabilitation to suit each client’s needs.
