What is Hydrotherm?
Hydrotherm is a truly unique, three-dimensional massage technique, which allows the therapist to slide their hands under, over and around the client's body in an uninterrupted motion.
Through water displacement rather than through physically lifting the client, Hydrotherm permits the therapist to work with the client's body weight as the source of pressure, facilitating a deeper, more holistic massage technique.
The relaxing warmth of the Hydrotherm system promotes an immediate sensation of well being, enhancing the therapeutic effect of the massage. The gentle heat of the water helps to soothe painful areas allowing the therapist to work more deeply with less discomfort for the client.
The advantages of Hydrotherm massage are numerous. Quite apart from achieving new heights of relaxation during a comfortable, undisturbed treatment, consider the benefits to those clients who cannot physically lie face down – heavily pregnant clients, the elderly and clients with impaired mobility, asthma etc, can receive a Hydrotherm massage without the discomfort associated with a conventional massage.
Hydrotherm is also an extremely beneficial medium when used in physiotherapy, remedial massage, osteopathy and in chiropractic clinics, as a more relaxed client is easier to manipulate.
The Hydrotherm system incorporates added benefits for the massage therapists too. Because a Hydrotherm massage uses the client's own body weight as the source of pressure, the therapist therefore exerts less pressure, significantly reducing the strain, which is usually placed on the wrists of the therapists. Thus Hydrotherm techniques alleviate the potential occurrence of 'carpal compression' – a cramp like condition commonly suffered by massage therapists.
Additionally Hydrotherm therapists work with upright backs, rather than bending from the waist as with conventional massage techniques, thereby placing less strain on the therapist's own body.
