Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is the combined effect of heat, massage and buoyancy. Warm water dilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow to sore or damaged tissues, allowing oxygen and nutrients to help overworked muscles recover faster.  Massage, provided by the spa’s jet system, relaxes tense muscles and relieves pressure on surrounding nerves.  Massage also improves circulation and accelerates the body’s natural healing process.  Buoyancy reduces your body's weight by 90%.  This relieves pressure on strained joints and muscles.  Hydrotherapy is widely recognized as an effective method of alleviating the tension commonly associated with stress.

The benefits of soaking in warm water have been known for over 5,000 years. Increased blood circulation will lower blood pressure, relieve fatigue, aid in tissue repair caused by muscle pulls and strains, and relieve pain.  Water jets gently massage muscles relieving pain and stiffness plus the pressure will naturally flush away lactic stored in sore muscles.  Since water helps to support your body and provides gentle resistance it is an incomparable exercise location for rehabilitation as well as chronic conditions related to arthritis, neck, shoulder and back pain.

Floating in warm water releases feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and tranquility. These stress relieving states can combat stress, sooth the nervous system, and treat insomnia.  Added stress can lead to high blood pressure, accelerate aging, make you vulnerable to illness, and impair your immune system's ability to fight inflammatory diseases like allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis.  Raising your body temperature stimulates your immune system and increases the production of antibodies and virus- fighting interferon.
