Health Benefits of Infant Hydrotherapy

Infant hydrotherapy is a natural therapy that boosts a baby’s physical and psychological development. It strengthens the bones and muscles of a child and promotes a strong bond between parent and child. In addition to its emotional benefits, hydrotherapy helps a child’s digestive and circulatory systems. The water therapy helps new-borns develop their sensory systems, and studies have shown it decreases their time in the neonatal intensive care unit. Infant hydrotherapy is also especially beneficial for premature infants. The warm water helps to strengthen the muscles and improve coordination. It also stimulates the immune system. It is especially effective in helping a child overcome colds and flu therefore it can be extremely beneficial in winter or during the sneezy spring season. Infant hydrotherapy works wonders for babies who experience colic, reflux, or low muscle tone. The water allows babies to play unrestricted and is also beneficial for cognitive brain development by connecting the left and right brain. In addition, hydrotherapy improves digestion and respiratory functions.

A STUDY OF HYDROTHERAPY AND ITS HEALTH BENEFITS

by Mozhdeh Bahadorfar

Warm (Hot) Water Hydrotherapy:

In response to the temperature, the body initiates changes including dilating blood vessels to increase the blood flow through them, diverting blood flow to the extremities and to the skin’s surface, opening the pores of the skin, activating sweat glands and relaxing muscles. Organs of the endocrine system become less active, particularly the adrenal gland, and can decrease blood pressure. This results in a relaxed, less stressful state and helps calm the nervous system.

Benefits

-Stimulates nerve reflexes that result in the calming of the lungs, heart, stomach and endocrine system.

-It is often used to relax, promote blood flow, aid in the healing process, tone the body, stimulate the immune system, and alleviate the pain or discomfort associated with deep muscle, joint or connective tissue ailments, injuries or abnormalities.

-Increased blood flow has important effects, including: 1) more efficient oxygenation of tissues, thereby helping injuries heal faster, and 2) more efficient removal of toxins from tissue, which helps prevent or ease injuries and increases tissue resiliency.

Mechanics

The physical nature and pressure of the water plays an important role in the effect on the body.

Weightlessness

In water, you weigh 10% of your actual body weight, so your body is relieved of the normal pressures exerted by gravity. This “weightlessness” alleviates pressure on joints and muscles (muscles don’t have to work as hard to keep body in position) helping to ease pain.

Water pressure & Movement
Because water is denser than air, water pushes on your body more than air, helping to support body joints and muscles and making it more difficult for fluids to accumulate under the skin or in extremities. The pressure water exerts on your skin and muscles as you move your body through water can also help move blood through the veins and back towards the heart. Water produces a soothing, massage-like sensation on the skin that results in specific responses from the brain that help calm and soothe the body.

Water Jets
A light massage from water jets activates nerves in the skin and muscles that increase blood circulation to the massage area resulting in better tissue oxygenation, toxin evacuation, and muscle relaxation.

Air Bubbles
The gentle, tingling sensation people experience on the skin from the presence of many tiny air bubbles in water causes certain neural reflexes to activate, resulting in beneficial chemical reactions that promote muscle relaxation and a mental state of contentment.

Hydrotherapy is an extremely powerful tool that is a really beneficial.

Filtration System

& Chlorine

Using innovative technology our system helps clarify our spa water by generating a powerful hydroxyl free radical that oxidises dissolved solids in the water making them insoluble so the filter can catch them, it then quickly converts back to oxygen leaving no chemical residual or off gassing odours. The system uses Ozone generation and UV-C sterilisation to kill 99.95% of all bacteria and virus material that pass through the unit. The system also breaks down and removes chloramines which are the by-product of chlorine which causes the skin, eye and respiratory irritation typically associated with chlorine.

The system is 100% safe in providing crystal clear water free from ozone off-gas, chemical smells and irritations.

The UV system disinfection is much more effective than chlorine in killing Giardia, Noro Virus, Crypto. With such a powerful system in place we are able to significantly reduce the amount of chlorine required for public pools.

Cleaning

Taking in to consideration our delicate clients who benefit from our spas, we take cleaning very seriously.

 

Our spa’s are emptied, cleaned, and re-filled if an accident occurs and it leaks into our spa, chemicals are inappropriate, and once a month in accordance with our procedures.  cleaned and refilled.

The filter is cleaned weekly and when the spa is emptied.
