What are the benefits of a hydrotherapy pool?
Hydrotherapy has been recognised across ages, with even the Romans bathing in warm mineral springs. Hydrotherapy itself refers to a form of physical medicine utilising the application of water, whether internally or externally.
Hydrotherapy pools are an external application and may be recommended by a physiotherapist or doctor to a patient. Typically, it would be having a patient perform exercises within the waters of a hydrotherapy pool, which allow for physical and mental benefits while also putting little stress on joints and giving the specialist greater control over the situation based on the features of the pool due to the system.
It has vast benefits for those suffering from arthritis and osteoarthritis. However, those who have had joint replacement surgery or back pain may also get something significant from it.
It allows for gaining muscle strength while remaining in a relaxing environment and may offer a range of benefits such as reducing pain, improving mental health, reducing arthritis symptoms, low impact exercise and relaxation.
How does a hydrotherapy pool work?
Hydrotherapy pools create a relaxing environment, not only in a mental sense but also physical. The heat causes muscles to relax, as well as potentially increasing circulation naturally.
One way pools are utilised is by making patients perform slow and methodical exercises within the water. Having an environment with pseudo-weightlessness also can give great confidence, as while they may struggle in their regular lives, they have an environment in which they can perform and have a greater range of motion.
It also gives excellent freedom to how a physiotherapist treats a patient, as a 'course' can be developed for an individual around their needs, increasing the efficiency of the exercise itself and having control over the conditions they are in from devices such as jets.
Who can use hydrotherapy?
As hydrotherapy has a range of benefits, types and relatively no risk or dangers, all can utilise some form of hydrotherapy. It should be noted that it is always best to ask a doctor whether it is right for you, especially as hydrotherapy sessions are available on the NHS.
Hydrotherapy is primarily used to treat these conditions, ailments and states: Chronic Pain, Neurological, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Musculoskeletal, Post Surgery and Paediatric. Whether indoor or outdoor, some form can be utilised to bring benefits to people.
Having the relative leisure of being submerged or surrounded by water brings parallels with baths or swimming. Furthermore, the higher temperature brings relaxation to muscles and can link the experience with a sauna. Some forms of hydrotherapy can be conducted by yourself instead of on a site, such as sitz baths or foot baths.
