The benefits of hydrotherapy

Some of the key benefits of hydrotherapy include the following… 

Reduces muscle tension and relieves pain

If you’re suffering from tight muscles or pain, a hydrotherapy bath might be just what you need. The massaging motion of a whirlpool bath can help to effectively reduce muscle tension and ease any pain that you may be experiencing. Plus, hydrotherapy stimulates the release of endorphins which act as a natural pain reliever and helping to further reduce any muscle soreness.

Rehabilitates injured muscles

Being in hot water naturally raises your body temperature and increases blood flow around the circulatory system, this in turn helps to heal injured tissues and rehabilitate damaged muscles.

So, if you are struggling with an injury that doesn’t seem to be getting any better, a whirlpool bath is the solution you need!

Boosts the immune system

We all know the importance of having a good immune system to help reduce your chances of getting ill and to fight off illnesses quickly. Hydrotherapy is a great way to boost your immune system. 

Increased blood flow and circulation from the warm water allows lymph nodes to move around your body more efficiently, a process which naturally strengthens your immune system!

Encourages detoxification

Another key benefit of hydrotherapy is that it helps to promote clean and healthy skin. The combination of warm water and bubbles helps to open up your pores and clear out any impurities. Therefore, hydrotherapy is great for skin problems such as acne and dry skin.

Relieves stress

Hydrotherapy is also very effective for reducing stress levels, in fact, it’s scientifically proven to have an impact on our mood. Hydrotherapy works by actively reducing the levels of the stress hormone Cortisol that your body releases.

Sop, if you do feel stressed and anxious at the end of the day, try relaxing in your very own whirlpool bath! You may be surprised at how much better you feel.
