Hydrotherapy is a therapy that uses water for soothing pains and treating different nerve & muscle associated disorders. Also, it includes treating musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and spondylitis.

It’s a water therapy that rejuvenates all your body, mind, and soul. The perfect water pressure is maintained with an optimum temperature to correct the senses of the body.

Hydrotherapy Process

The aquatic therapy holds thermal and mechanical effects, to offer a unique healing process. The temperature of the water remains 33-36 degree C, which allows all the nerves to be free and flowing. This water is warmer than the temperature you will feel in the normal water of swimming pool.

The pressure exerted by water charges every pore of our body to get reactivated and rejuvenated. A physiotherapist helps its clients or patient to do relevant exercises as per their problem.

The sensations are released to stimulate the immune system and release the stress hormones that improve blood circulation and digestion of our body. The anxiety and tense muscles immediately get relief from the 1st session of hydrotherapy.
