Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy uses showers and bathrooms completely
or partially to heat or refresh the body. Water, at certain
temperatures, in the form of steam or under the pressure
of a jet, can relieve muscle tension produced by stress and
anxiety. Hot
water is used in physical therapy to accelerate muscle
recovery after injuries and relieve pain. The targeted
jets of water (such as those caused by Jacuzzi ® nozzles
inclined at 30°) generate a deep massage through relaxing
micro-bubbles and offer different types of hydrotherapy
massage to improve circulation and promote the release of
endorphins.
Hydromassage
Created from the combination of water, heat and air.
The water reduces the weight of the body mass by 90%,
loosening the tension of muscles and joints. The heat
dilates blood vessels improving the fl ow of blood. The
air released from the jets as well as relaxing the muscles
relieves nervous pressure. Hydromassage can be done with
thermal waters, but not necessarily: the principle of action,
in fact, does not rely so much on the quality of the water,
as its temperature and its movement. Its aim is to awaken
the natural self-healing mechanisms of the body. In fact, the
thermal stimulus is the main factor of hydrotherapy: a fi rst
reaction, which occurs at the skin level, is followed by a
second that reaches the internal bodily tissues, connected
to the surface through the nerve pathways. Acting on the
local concentration of blood, it is possible to put the body
area to be treated into a state of equilibrium.
Shower and steam bath
A shower is conducive to a good mood thanks to its
invigorating antidepressant effect. It is useful in the
treatment of skin imperfections such as orange peel
skin and cellulite because the water jet ensures nerve
stimulation which affects the tissue. There are various types
of shower: fi liform, the most commonly used with the jet
perpendicular to the body from above; Scottish, alternating
jets of water from 26° to 40° C; vertical jets that target
the various parts of the body. The steam bath consists
of a bath of dry steam in an environment saturated with
hot air at 40-50° with humidity of 100%. The steam can
also be combined with chromotherapy and aromatherapy.
There are numerous benefi ts, including improved blood
and lymphatic circulation, it favours oxygenation and
purifi cation through the elimination of toxins and helps
respiratory, liver, kidney and intestine functions work at
their best.
