Chronic and acute musculoskeletal ailments benefit from hot tub hydrotherapy.
Q: What orthopedic ailments are helped by hydrotherapy?
A: Chronic and acute musculoskeletal ailments benefit from hot tub hydrotherapy. Whether it's a new injury or a nagging case of sciatica hydrotherapy can help. Injured and fatigued muscles benefit from improved circulation. As blood flows in and out of an area, toxins are transported out and eliminated by the body. The water temperature and pressure of the jets assist with this process. Hot tub circuit therapy is beneficial as well. This involves moving from seat to seat in a hot tub in measured time intervals. Each chair has jets focused on certain muscle groups. Performing stretches and exercises while in the water may be an excellent alternative to land exercises for individuals who lack confidence, have high risk of falling or have joint pain. Water buoyancy reduces the weight that joints, bones and muscles have to bear.
