Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is the use of water to treat certain diseases. Currently, the use of this type of therapy is limited in orthodox medicine to only performing sets of exercises in therapeutic swimming pools during the rehabilitation of patients with arthritis or partially paralyzed patients. Such exercises in warm water help improve the mobility of joints and muscles, reduce pain and restore strength to patients. In addition, hydrotherapy may include wraps in warm, wet towels to relieve sore muscles.

However, in the past, hydrotherapy was used much more widely to treat a variety of ailments. Different water temperatures were used - from ice to hot, as well as baths, showers, douses, and compresses. It was believed that water could both soothe and stimulate the body. Although scientific evidence for the effectiveness of hydrotherapy is lacking, some still use it as a complementary treatment method. But before use, you should consult your doctor.
