What is Hydrotherapy?
hy·dro·ther·a·py
/ˌhīdrōˈTHerəpē/
noun
Hydrotherapy embraces the Nordic tradition of holistic wellness, drawing inspiration from the therapeutic properties of water to promote relaxation, rejuvenation, and overall well-being.
Hydrotherapy at its core is a cycle of alternating between hot, and cold baths, followed by bouts of restful periods. Traditional Nordic sequencing stimulates blood flow, removes toxins and boosts the immune system. Hydrotherapy relates to taking care of every aspect of your health and wellness, from mental and emotional health to physical fitness and overall lifestyle choices.
Hot. Cold. Rinse. Repeat.
Hydrotherapy alleviates stress while simultaneously providing a gentle boost to the heart rate, resulting in that positive sensation of wellbeing. The obvious benefit to this treatment includes reducing inflammation and muscle spasms but beyond that Hydrotherapy helps to build mental resilience by intentionally exposing yourself to controlled discomfort.
Hot.
When you step into a sauna your skin temperature rises, your pulse quickens and your heart begins to circulate more blood. Time spent in our saunas relaxes the muscles, joints and mind. Leaving a highly intensified heat zone leaves you feeling energized, rejuvenated and ready.
Cold.
When you immerse yourself in cold water you unlock a rush of endorphins and a spike in dopamine. Cold plunges improve sleep, boost injury recovery and reduce stress. Teaching the body to handle extremes is good practice in control.
Repeat.
Think of Hydrotherapy as an all encompassing alignment of the mind and body. Repeating the process only increases the benefits. Experience this thermal journey at Wilderness Retreat and Nordic Spa right here in Windsor Essex County.
