What is Hydrotherapy
In around 2000BC, The Ancient Egyptians first recognised that bathing in warm water possessed therapeutic benefits. By about 500BC, the Ancient Greeks began to understand the properties and benefits of Hydrotherapy. In particular, Hippocrates, the Greek physician, recommended Hydrotherapy to assist the relieving of medical conditions such as jaundice and rheumatism.
Throughout the ages, the development of Hydrotherapy continued - The Romans further enhanced the practice by massaging oils into the skin prior to bathing. The Romans were also renowned for the fine architecture and sophisticated masonry of their public baths, which can still be seen in the English town of Bath today.
The term Hydrotherapy is derived from two Greek words, Hydro meaning water and Therapeia meaning therapy.
Today, Hydrotherapy is most commonly understood to mean the treatment of illness through the use of water. The concept of Hydrotherapy is to rid the body of toxins that may be inflicting joint pain and inflammation.
Water healing is one of the oldest, safest and cheapest methods of treatment. It is used to relieve symptoms of:
- Arthritis
- Back pain
- Muscle weakness
- Stress
- Premenstrual syndrome
- Cellulite
- Anxiety
- Troubled sleep
Hydrotherapy works by the water motion stimulating the touch receptors on the skin, relieving tight muscles and releasing chemicals that we produce in our body called endorphins.
This also boosts blood circulation, and promotes general well being. The pressure of the water literally massages the body. The hot water relieves fatigue and prevents stiffness. Relaxing in a spa, the user experiences a sensation of weightlessness due to the buoyancy effects of the water supporting your weight and lifting your spirits.
