Benefits of Dry Hydrotherapy

You may be familiar with the benefits of whirlpool and massage therapy. It is especially true if you suffer from muscular strain, fatigue, or back pain. However, you might not be familiar with the benefits of hydrotherapy.

 

Also known as hydromassage, the therapy combines a few treatments that are beneficial to your health. Some of them include relaxing floating and deep heat therapy. You also get a therapeutic massage during this treatment—all these without getting wet or disrobing.

 

What Is Dry Hydrotherapy?

Dry hydrotherapy is a treatment that uses heated water in a self-contained device like a char or table. During the treatment, the heated water circulates on the treatment area in a pulsing and massaging manner. All you must do is lie on a table or sit on a chair in your clothes.

 

The specialized chair or table is waterproof. It contains interior jets that pulsate and rotate while releasing streams of the pressurized heated water all over your body. It is this pressure of your body against the water that provides the massaging effect.

 

Why Dry Hydrotherapy Is Unique

Dry hydrotherapy utilizes a combination of factors to achieve the ultimate therapeutic experience. It uses heat, massage, and water to target specific areas of your body that require pain relief.

 

The treatment is an innovative way of complementing physiotherapy and chiropractic care. The uniqueness of this treatment is that you receive a water-heated massage without getting wet or removing your clothes.

 

What Are Its Benefits?

There are many benefits of dry hydrotherapy, including:

• Reduction of anxiety and stress
   

• Temporary alleviation of minor pains and aches
   

• Enhanced healing and blood circulation in the treatment area
   

• A perfect treatment option for severely sore or sensitive patients
   

• Relieving muscle stiffness, tension, and soreness
   

• Improving your physical and mental wellness
   

• An ideal treatment option for patients with arthritis or fibromyalgia
   

• A perfect solution for anyone who can lie or sit down
  
   

Other Benefits

According to recent research, dry hydrotherapy has many other benefits. It improves your lymphatic and circulatory systems. It enhances the functioning of your nervous and muscular system. The features of the treatment work together to help increase the range of motion in joints, release trigger points, and enhance overall relaxation.

 

No Downtime After Treatment

Unlike other treatments, you do not need downtime after a dry hydrotherapy session. There is no need to skip your routine after getting the treatment. You can continue with your regular exercise or routine after treatment. Moreover, you will leave your dry hydrotherapy session feeling rejuvenated and refreshed, ready to indulge in other activities.

 

Dry Hydrotherapy Is Customizable

An essential advantage of this treatment is that it is customizable. Your doctor can adjust the pressure of the massage table or chair to suit your need. For instance, if your legs are overly sore, your specialist can direct the treatment for more pressure on the lower part of your body. Targeted pressure to a more problematic area of your body is also possible.
