There Is Something Called Hydrotherapy... So, What Is It? And What Conditions Can Benefit From This Treatment?
Hydrotherapy is one of the methods of physical therapy, which can involve treatment for one of the upper or lower limbs or a full-body treatment. This treatment targets either the muscles or aims to loosen stiff joints, such as in cases of hemiplegia, quadriplegia, or lower limb paralysis. Hydrotherapy can include small basins for the limbs, large basins for the entire body, or swimming pools. Sometimes, ionized substances are added to the water in these treatments to relax the muscles, thereby increasing joint flexibility. Additionally, the water may be equipped with motors to provide a therapeutic massage through the powerful water jets directed at specific areas of the body. Since the water helps buoy the body, the joints are relieved from bearing the weight of the body and gravity, making it easier and more efficient to perform both active and passive movements underwater.
Is Hydrotherapy Different From The Therapeutic Baths We Hear About, Such As Sulfur Baths?
Of Course, Hydrotherapy Alone Is Different From Hydrotherapy That Contains Ionized Substances Like Sulfur Water. The Purpose Of Hydrotherapy Is To Move Stiff Joints And Contracted Muscles Through Easy Movement In The Water, As The Water Buoys The Body, Eliminating The Need To Bear The Weight Of The Limbs Or Body On The Joints. Sulfur Baths And Other Therapeutic Baths Serve The Same Purpose, In Addition To Treating Certain Rheumatic Diseases Affecting The Joints And Muscles. Electrical Therapeutic Currents Can Also Be Added To Enhance The Benefits Of Electrical Movement Within The Human Body.
These Treatments Help Therapeutic Substances In The Water Enter The Body, Maximizing The Benefits Of Both Passive And Active Movement, As Well As The Electrical Currents.
