Hydrotherapy
Ancient civilisations recognised the healing power of natural hot and cold springs.
Back in the 4th century BC., the Greek physician Hippocrates prescribed bathing and drinking
spring water for its therapeutic effects. The Romans built outstanding communal baths because
they believed in the value of hot springs.
The benefits of “water healing,” or "hydrotherapy" have been recognised for thousands of years.
In Europe, where hydrotherapy is especially popular, there are numerous health spas and
health facilities for all types of “water cures.” Water healing is one of the oldest, cheapest and
safest methods for treating many common ailments. We know from personal experience that
water is not just for cleansing, but for making us feel better. When you plop into that tub of
hot water, after a strenuous day, you know you’ll feel much better when you’re done, for hot water
relieves fatigue and prevents stiffness.
Water healing at home couldn't be simpler. Spas are good for whole body treatments and the
water should come to shoulder level. A hot tub is soothing to the nerves and helpful for bladder
and urinary problems, mild colds and low fevers. A hot tub dip should last at least 20 minutes.
Remember that the application of heat is soothing, easing muscle tension and relieving pain.
Heat also improves circulation by causing blood vessels to dilate.
Hot tubs work their magic by circulating warm water & air through a system of high pressure
jet nozzles to provide therapeutic muscle stimulation and relax the user.
• Clustered jets to massage specific groups of muscles simultaneously - such as the neck,
shoulders, back or feet
• Jets which direct their stream in a moving pattern to provide progressive relaxation of a
muscle group
• Air injection to add a tingling, bubbling, whole-body therapy
• Specialised massage inserts to put just the right amount of pressure on specific areas just
as a masseuse varies the manner in which muscles are manipulated.
Physical and psychological benefits are immediate, aches and pains disappear as the heat
expands blood vessels to improve circulation, restore nutrients and cleanse muscles of
carbon dioxide. Buoyancy lets the muscles and joints relax even more. Powerful, pulsating
directional jets provide a soothing massage. Water healing is helpful in maintaining metabolic
function, and in making us feel much better, and is easily accomplished right in our own homes.
