Aiding Sports Recovery
Hydrotherapy
Water is used in physiotherapy to:
- speed recovery from injuries
- relieve muscle soreness by facilitating the removal of lactic acid
- open the blood vessels to improve circulation
- relax the muscles around arthritic joints
- promote the flow of endorphins
All of these benefits combined with the opportunity of a moment of rest from the distractions of daily life make hydrotherapy both physically and mentally therapeutic.
