Counter Current Hydrotherapy & Rehabilitation Pools.

 Hydrotherapy is therapeutic whole body treatment that involves moving and exercising in water –physiotherapy in a pool. Hydrotherapy pools are usually different from ordinary pools-the temperature, pressure and movement of water is controlled and changed according to who’s using the pool, and why.

Doctors often prescribe a course of hydrotherapy as part of a treatment programme. It is also used by athletes to improve and maintain their general health and fitness and by others as part of a healthy whole body routine.

Regular exercise becomes important to keep the joints flexible and the muscles strong. No doubt many find the mere indulgence in exercise a boost to their feelings of wellbeing largely due to endorphins. The endogenous morphine produced by the body is an anti-stress hormone that relieves pain naturally. It is believed that they are released by exercise of any kind, including sex and laughter-which can’t be bad.

A gentle endorphin-releasing walk is often used to boost the heart-rate as a mild aerobic exercise-however this may become painful when pressure is applied to the weight bearing joints- the hips , knees and ankles, and also the spine. This is clearly a major problem, and this is what hydrotherapy sets out to resolve.

Not only does this help remove the problem of impact discomfort, but also has the added benefits of allowing any required extra exertion to be carried out without overheating the body. There are studies that show that hydrotherapy assists the recuperation from injury, in some cases halving the time of recovery. A handy additional benefit of hydrotherapy sessions in swimming pool convivial.

The Simplest exercise is swimming, which in itself can be most enjoyable both as muscle/joint developer and as a mental relaxation. More complicated exercises can be tailored to the requirements of the person receiving treatment.
