WHAT IS HYDROTHERAPY?


Hydrotheraphy is the use of water to maintain health, sooth pains or treat injuries and diseases that is probably the oldest form of medical treatment used by many cultures, including those from ancient Egypt, Rome, China and Japan. Egyptian royalty bathed with herbs and flowers while Romans had communal baths for their citizens.
Water would ‘dissolve, remove and strenghten’. Dissolve matter-containing disease in the body, remove diseased matter form the body and strenghten the body by restoring cleansed blood in the tissues and maximizing blood circulation.

HOW IT WORKS
Hydrotheraphy uses the principles of buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure or effects of the movement of water and water temperature to speed recovery after surgeries, reduce pain and stress, spasm and discomfort and is especially beneficial for people with work related or sport injuries, arthritis, neck, back, and knee pain and more.
The principle of buoyancy of water comes into play when treating muscular or joint injuries. Being in water reduces body weight by up to 90%. Physically this relieves the pressure of weight on our joints and muscles, and the feeling of weightlessness porves to be very relaxing mentally as well as physically. The weightless effect of water is also recommended for arthritis sufferers, as it eases joint stiffness and improves the mobility of the joints.

Hydrostatic pressure offers a form of massage that is soothing as well as healing. Studies at trauma and burn centres have shown that the massaging currents of water gently soothe touchy nerve endings while cleansing the wounds. This massaging action, combined with weightlessness, relaxes tight muscles. It also releases natural painkillers, called endorphins, into our system.

Water temperature has a great deal to do with hydrotherapy. Hot water raises your body temperature and causes your blood vessels to dilate. This increases circulation and greater circulation can speed up the body’s healing processes. Some people believe that a hot soak (40C) can help you fight a cold or flu. This high temperature increases the number of white blood cells, which help to fight infection.

The Soothing Power of Soaking
People use hydrotherapy to treat many illnesses and conditions, including acne, arthritis, colds, depression, stomach problem, joint, muscle, and nerve problems, sleep disorders and stress. They also use it for relaxation and to maintain health. You can also use hydrotherapy to reduce or relieve sudden or long-lasting pain.

Hot Water
Hot water acts as a sedative on the sensory and motor nerves and relieves pains, cramps and spasms. Heat dilates blood vessels, which will turn lowers blood pressure. It also increases the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients and speeds the elemination of toxins.

Hot Immersion Bath
Given at a temperature of 38C – 42C for a maximum of 20 minutes, and water has to come to the shoulder level. Hot bath is recommended for instant relief from colic pains, muscle and joint pains. It is soothing to the nerves and helpful for bladder and urinary problems, mild-cold and low fevers. Adding herbs or essential oils helps to soften and moisturize, and can stimulate or relax.

Clinical Benefits
A recent study at the Mayo Clinic found that soaking in a hot water bath gives many of the health benefits of exercise with less strain on the heart! Soaking in a hot bath increases the heart rate while it lowers blood pressure rather than raising it as does other forms of exercise. Immersion in hot water first speeds up the heart to send blood to the surface and disperse extra body heat into the air. But after a few minutes, the warm blood causes the blood vessels to dilate, which lessen resistance to blood flow and lowers the blood pressure.

The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) believes that many cases of insomnia can be traced to hectic, stressful lifestyles. It recommends regular soaking in warm water a few hours before bed to enhance sleep quality. Studies suggest this can ease the transition into a deeper, more restful sleep. The temperature change may be a signal to the body that it is time to sleep, or the sensation of weightlessness may just be relaxing to the muscles.

A study pblished in the New England Journal of Medicine even suggests that soaking for 30 minutes each day can lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

HYDROTHERAPY & IT EFFECTIVENESS:

Tension and stress are unavoidable with today’s hectic lifestyles. They can take a heavy toll on the body and mind, and the most effective source of relief is total relaxation.
Today, you do not have to go to a natural hot or cold spring, or to a spa clinic or health spa resort to enjoy the goodness of hydrotheraphy. With the advancement in technology, it can now be experienced in the confort and privacy of one’s own home. Having a Home Spa SG-2000 in one’s master bath is like having the personal services of a physiotherapist, beautician and masseuse available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without the cost and inconvenience.

Water and our body;
Our body is made up mostly of water. Approximately 85% of our brain, 80% of our blood and 70% of our muscle is water. Every cell in our body needs water to live. Water is thus very important to us.
Water helps remove the dangerous toxins that our body takes in from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the chemicals in the various products we use on our skin and hair. Other things water does for our body is to cushion our joints. Water carries oxygen and nutrients into our cells. Water also helps regulate our body temperature.

We need water to keep our metabolism working properly. In order for this to happen, theres is a certain level of water in each of our bodies that we need to maintain. If we don’t keep that amount, our bodies will start to dehydrate. Some of the things that may happen to our body if we do not have enough water are that our blood pressure can fall to dangerously low levels. Blood clots may form. Our normal kidney function is impaired. We may get terrible constipation, terrible dry skin, and increased incidence of urinary tract infections and will occuring headaches.

Beside dringking six to eight glasses of water in everyday to ensure sufficient water in our body, in other way is to ingest water that are beneficial to our body. The use of water to bring about health benefits is called hydrotheraphy.

MAGNETISM & OZONE ANIONS:

The air especially fresh after a thunderstorm because lightning generates ozone & anions.

In 1966 Nobel laureate, Dr. Otto Warburg discovered that exposure to ozone & anions promoted cell activity & improved the body's ability to process oxygen. Bathing in ozone-filled warm water can expedite the elimination of dead skin cells, maintain smooth, soft skin & also improve the quality of bath water as well as the surrounding air quality.

Recent advances in science showed that certain minerals are a natural source of far-infrared radiation. The discharge of this stored energy boosts our body's energy level, thereby improving our general health.

Nature & Technology in Harmony: SG-2000 engineers developed a special flexible mat lined with ceramic cells. The processing unit generates a maximum of 46 liters of ozone & anion-laden air that thrust out of the mat via minutes holes. This rush of air produces millions of high-energy bubbles. Continuous collision & rupturing of the bubbles create ultrasonic wave energy.

Based on the research conducted in Japan, 15 minutes in an ultrasonic massage baths has this combined effect on the body: Warming, Massaging, Cleansing, Beautifying & Exercising.

INTERNAL WARMING, IMPROVED CIRCULATION, MEDIATING EFFECT OF LACK OF EXERCISE:

As ultrasonic waves are transmitted from one medium to another, wave energy is converted into heat energy. A 10-minute ultrasonic massage bath is sufficient to achieve internal warming of the body. This effect is similar to cooking eggs in a hot spring where the yolks are cooked before the egg white.

In an ordinary hot bath, it takes about 90 minutes of immersion to achieve internal warming. Just like boiling eggs in a pot, the egg white gets cooked before the yolk. Prolonged immersion in ordinary hot bath does more harm than good, & may cause dizziness.

The ultrasonic bubbles produce 10,000-15,000 micro-tremors per second, delivering 1.5kg/cm2 of pressure on the body. This has an effect similar to exercise. Experts estimate that 15 minutes in an ultrasonic bath is the exercise equivalent of a 3-km jogging.

As tested by J.P.Industry University: Absorption rate of Ultrasonic Wave Energy by the human body: 13%, flesh & muscle: 3.3%, water: 0.0022%. Since 65% of the human body is made of water, the internal warming effect is quickly achieved through ultrasonic waves penetrating the body.

TOTAL BODY MASSAGE-RELAXES, RELIEVES STRESS & FATIGUE:

SG-2000 tiny yet powerful bubbles & their rhythmic impact, deliver a massaging effect to at least 320 acu-pressure points to stimulate & activate body tissues. This results in complete relaxation & provides relief from fatigue. Experts estimate that a 10-min ultrasonic massage bath is equivalent to an hour's massage by an experienced massaeur.

Frequent use of the ultrasonic bubble bath can stimulate & strenghten our bodies' physiological processes.

DEEP CLEANSING, TOTAL BODY BEAUTY CARE:
Jewelers use ultrasonic devices to remove foreign particles from gems & restore their sparkle.

SG-2000 delivers high-powered jets of ozone-laden air every second producing ultrasonic bubbles. As these bubbles surge through the water, they thoroughly cleanse the pores of the skin, which helps with detoxification & increases our metabolism. Overall, it has a beautifying effect on the whole body.

A 15-minute bath daily helps to firm & contour the body including the bust area.
