BENEFITS OF HYDROTHERAPY
Many of us experience physical pain or discomfort at one time or another—whether it’s chronic or only occasional. Whatever the cause of your pain—be it muscle cramping, sports injury, menstrual pain or a strain from lifting and twisting—hydrotherapy can provide tremendous relief.
While it may not always be convenient to break out the ice pack or heating pad, we can still incorporate hydrotherapy in our daily lives, with showers! Depending on the temperatures you use, you can expect to experience various benefits.
A cold shower, while generally not the most appealing, can speed recovery due to sore muscles after a workout, and possibly help with fertility! It can boost metabolism, help improve immunity and blood circulation.
If you’re someone who loves a hot shower, even on a summer’s day, you can rest easy knowing that these hot temperatures have their perks. A hot shower can relieve headaches, fight migraines, reduce tension and relax your body and muscles.
Get the best of both worlds with a Scottish shower — start hot, and end with cold!
