Hydrotherapy in Sydney
Hydrotherapy Services Sydney
Hydrotherapy to restore health
Hydrotherapy is the use of water to treat disease. Not all physiotherapy clinics offer this service, but we do at New Age Physiotherapy. As far back as the ancient Greeks and Romans, water use for therapy has existed for hundreds of years and forms an integral part of many traditional medicine systems. Learn why it is so beneficial for your health. We are a convenient option if you are looking for hydrotherapy in Australia. Hydrotherapy uses water to revitalise, maintain, and restore health. Treatments include saunas, steam baths, foot baths, sitz baths, and cold and hot water compresses. Father Sebastian Kneipp, a 19th-century Bavarian monk, is said to be the father of hydrotherapy. Kneipp believed that disease could be cured by eliminating waste from the body. Hydrotherapy is popular in Europe and Asia, where people “take the waters” at hot and mineral springs. In North America, naturopathic doctors often recommend it as self-care.
Physiological basis of hydrotherapy
There is a physiological basis for hydrotherapy. Cold water stimulates the superficial blood vessels and causes them to constrict, shunting the blood to internal organs. Hot water relaxes the blood vessels, dilates them, and removes wastes from body tissues. Alternating hot and cold water also improves elimination, decreases inflammation, and stimulates circulation. Contact us to learn more. When submerged in a body of water, such as a bath or a pool, one feels weightless, as the water relieves the body of much of the effects of gravity. Water also has a hydrostatic effect and a massage-like feeling as it gently kneads the body. When it is moving, water stimulates the touch receptors on the skin, increasing blood circulation and releasing tight muscles. Your physiotherapist will coordinate your hydrotherapy program to assist in your injury rehabilitation. Classes are held at Liverpool Whitlam Centre’s purpose-built indoor hydrotherapy pool.
