Hydrotherapy – water treatment
Hydrotherapy is a natural form of physiotherapy that uses the effects of water on the body in several forms - baths, showers, wraps, or alternating hot and cold water. Water affects blood circulation, breathing, muscle tension, and the nervous system.
How it works:
– warm baths and whirlpools to relax muscles and joints,
– contrast showers (alternating hot and cold water),
– partial or full body wraps,
– water massages and bubble baths.
Temperature effects:
Warm water relaxes muscles, improves blood circulation and induces relaxation.
Cold water invigorates, supports immunity and increases the body's resistance.
When is it used:
– back and joint pain, stiffness and muscle strain,
– recovery after injuries and surgeries,
– fatigue, sleep disorders and the need for overall regeneration.
Benefits for humans:
reduced pain and tension, faster recovery, better mobility, psychological relaxation and overall improved comfort. Thanks to its wide range of applications, hydrotherapy is available in spas, rehabilitation facilities and wellness centers.
