A warm bath can sooth nerves and help people with urinary and bladder problems, low fevers and mild colds.
What Does Hydrotherapy Do?
Hydrotherapy has thermal and mechanical effects that may provide healing qualities. The heat and pressure of the water stimulate a natural reaction in the body, and nerves that feel impulses on the skin transfer them deep inside the body where the impulses can help produce stress hormones, stimulate the immune system, aid with digestion, blood flow, circulation and decrease sensitivity to pain.
Heat usually produces a quieting, soothing effect and slows internal organ activity while cold has the opposite effect and speeds internal activity, producing a stimulating and energizing effect. Cold also causes constriction of superficial blood vessels, and that narrowing forces the blood into the internal organs. Hot water causes dilation of blood vessels and helps remove wastes normally found in body tissues. People with muscle tension or stressful anxiety usually feel better after a hydrotherapy treatment or even a hot shower. Following the warm treatment with a brief, cold shower may help invigorate the senses.
Hydrotherapy Walk In Tubs
Immersing oneself in a hydrotherapy walk in bath tub can produce a type of weightlessness and relieve the body from gravity’s pull. The hydrostatic effect of water gently massages the body, and when water is in motion, it can stimulate the skin’s touch receptors to enhance blood circulation and relieve muscle tightness. Water healing may help maintain metabolic function as well. Hydrotherapy walk in tubs can be installed into residential homes and commercial facilities.
