A soothing Effect of Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy treatment has a soothing effect and calms the lungs, heart, stomach, and endocrine system by stimulating nerve reflexes on the spinal cord. Hydrotherapy has been used since the dawn of civilization. Evidence of its use can be found in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman societies. Archeological evidence shows that members of the Egyptian ruling class would bathe in waters infused with oils and flowers for rejuvenating effects. Hippocrates, the Greek physician who lived from 460-370 B.C. and recognized as the father of modern medicine, prescribed bathing in spring water to cure illness. Romans built communal baths to promote the general health, hygiene, and well-being of its citizenry.
For patients who have undergone abdominal surgery, whirlpool therapy can alleviate pain, enhance relaxation, promote pain relief, and assist in wound healing. Whirlpool therapy has been recommended to aid venous circulation and alleviate symptoms for patients with varicose veins. Whirlpool therapy is particularly beneficial for arthritis sufferers. Arthritic patients have shown significant improvement in joint tenderness and in knee range of movement after whirlpool therapy. Water therapy has been recently shown to play a curative role in asthma treatment.
