Hydrotherapy
The effects of hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy involves the use of water for soothing an
aching body or speeding the recovery of other muscular
ailments. It combines water with air and heat to promote
wellbeing. Water makes us buoyant, reducing our body
weight by 90%. This, together with warmth, greatly eases
stress on the body’s muscles and joints.
How it works
In warm water, the heat dilates our blood vessels
improving blood to flow to sore or damaged tissue.
Our muscles relax, our circulation improves and
the weightlessness helps us lose the tension we’ve
unconsciously been carrying around all day. Warm water
is used in physiotherapy to speed recovery from injuries
and relieve muscle soreness. From a targeted stream for
deep tissue massage to relaxing micro bubbles, Jacuzzi
PowerPro ® jets give you a variety of hydrotherapeutic
massage types that improve circulation and promote the
flow of endorphins.
A great hot tub massage includes hot tub jets that are the
right size for a specific muscle group with the appropriate
intensity. All Jacuzzi PowerPro ® jets are made to direct
water flow. You can customise a massage by controlling
the flow. Divert water flow pressure from one seat to
the next and turn the hot tub jets off and on individually
to personalise your massage. A rotating stream of water
and air replicates a hand circling or rubbing certain areas
of your back for a smooth massage.
Who can benefit
Massage alone is proven to reduce stress, calm anxiety,
enhance sleep quality and improve concentration; as
well as aiding in other physiotherapy and recovery
programmes. Hydrotherapy massage is not an alternative
for medical massage treatments, but it is easily carried
out at home and can be used to support a healthy active
lifestyle. Warm water therapy in a Jacuzzi ® hot tub works
for people of all shapes, sizes and stress levels. Some
people need a pulsating, strong jet stream for working
knots out of large muscles. Others crave a soothing
warm water retreat that clears the mind as it relaxes
the body. The benefits of hydrotherapy could go even
further as it is thought to help ease symptoms of arthritis
whilst also providing temporary relief from chronic pain
and promoting better sleep.
