TRADITIONAL HYDROTHERAPY

Healing Power of Water

​

Water is not only essential for life; it possesses profound healing qualities that can transform the mind, body, and spirit.

This remarkable element, adaptable and resilient, has the power to help you regain control and balance in life, much like the nurturing environment of the womb.

​

The healing effects of water extend beyond the physical, providing mental and emotional renewal as well. Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto, in *The Healing Power of Water*, proposed that human consciousness can alter water's molecular structure.

Since our bodies are over 70% water, this connection suggests that our mental and emotional state can directly affect our physical health.

By embracing the energy of living water, you open a path to holistic healing, allowing energy and emotions—"energy in motion"—to flow freely within. Begin your journey to wellness by tapping into water's transformative power and experience healing at a soul-deep level.

There are various techniques utilized in aquatic therapy that take advantage of the unique properties of water, such as buoyancy, viscosity, and hydrostatic pressure.

Ai Chi

  • Balance and Stability: Combines Tai Chi and Qi Gong in shoulder-deep water to improve balance.

  • Breath and Relaxation: Focuses on deep breathing and slow, broad movements, promoting relaxation.

  • Enhanced Mobility and Calorie Burn: Boosts joint mobility while increasing oxygen use and calorie consumption.

 

Aquatic PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation)

  • Range of Motion: Uses stretching techniques to expand movement capabilities.

  • Targeted Rehabilitation: Ideal for flexibility training and recovery, involving flexion, extension, and rotation.

  • Customizable for Patients: Adaptable to various rehabilitation needs.

​

BRRM (Buoyancy Resistance Rehabilitative Method)

  • Strength Through Resistance: Therapist applies water resistance, promoting strength-building.

  • Effective for Injuries: Especially helpful for spinal, soft tissue, or head injuries, and Parkinson’s disease.

  • Enhanced Mobility and Support: Improves muscle response with less pressure on joints.

​

Fluid Moves

  • Guided Rhythmic Movement: Patients perform slow, rhythmic exercises in chest-deep water.

  • Breathwork Focus: Deep breathing helps manage stress and supports respiratory health.

  • Improved Circulation and Flexibility: Promotes smooth, flowing movements for joint mobility.

 

Halliwick Method

  • Independence in Water: Teaches individuals with disabilities to swim and move freely.

  • Enhanced Postural Control: Focuses on balance through controlled destabilization.

  • Gradual Skill Development: Builds confidence and autonomy in the water.

 

Watsu

  • Muscle Tension Relief: Reduces tension through gentle spinal and limb stretching.

  • Enhanced Flexibility: Buoyancy aids in flexibility, lessening joint pressure.

  • Mental and Physical Relaxation: Promotes deep relaxation, ideal for those with fibromyalgia, arthritis, trauma recovery, or lower back pain.

​

Each of these therapies leverages the healing qualities of water to promote holistic wellness, supporting physical recovery, mental relaxation, and emotional balance.
