What You Need To Know About Hydromassage Therapy

By Anthony Cole


Basically, a hydro massage is a water based therapy that utilizes high pressure water jets to perform the massage on the skin and trigger circulation. This form of massage is usually powerful compared to whirlpool bath or a Jacuzzi and the water is usually much hotter. However, hydromassage therapy is usually more of a treatment than just an experience.

Ordinarily, this type of massage offers thorough treatment which is felt by the person undergoing it. The massive amounts of water used in this massage is released out in strong jets that help in facilitating circulation of blood and free movement of the lymph and blood all over the body. The hot water is essential in cleaning up the skin by opening up the skin pores hence the skin appears and feels clean and rejuvenated.

Hydromassage not only helps one to relax but also it alienates muscle and joint pains that one may have. In as much as the massage makes one feel worn out after, research findings show that it makes one fall into a deep relaxed sleep since the temperature of the body declines. Therefore a hydromassage would be essential and better for one to undergo before they go to sleep as it helps facilitate sleep at night.

On the other hand, this form of massage is not ideal for the pregnant women, as well as the old and very young people. The reason for this is that the water might be quite hot while the massage is also strong for such fragile individuals. Also, it might also not be ideal for individuals with previous injury or who have previously had a surgery.

Before considering this type of massage, it is crucial to get guidance from a therapist most especially if you have any form of muscle pains be it acute or severe and joint pains. In addition, if you are undergoing any form of medical treatment or suffering from any ailments. Other people who should first consult a therapist before the massage are those that experience high blood pressure or heart problems.

Within five minutes of starting the massage session, one is able to feel the changes that come with it. Nevertheless, it is advisable for the massage to go for about fifteen minutes or more for one to feel fully relaxed and for the circulation to be enhanced. After the first session is over, one can decide if they want to proceed with the massage. Ideally, a massage session should go on for about 15 to 30 minutes to fully benefit from it.

This type of massage comes with various advantages. For one it helps to relieve stress as the massage not only eases mental tension but also physical tension. This is due to secretion of stress relieving hormones like cortisol that get secreted when you immerse your body in warm water.

Another benefit is that this massage therapy improves sleep. Because of this, you can promote restful sleep or reduce insomnia. This is because the internal body temperature increases during the hydrotherapy and then drops later. As the internal temperature drops, the body become ready for sleep. Sleep may also be improved since pressure on the muscles and the joint is relieved. At the same time, this massage helps to minimize chronic pain due to fibromyalgia, arthritis and other conditions.
