Experience the Benefits of Hydrotherapy with Spools

How much do you know about hydrotherapy? For centuries, water has been used to treat a variety of ailments and promote general health and well being. Because water is incredibly versatile and can come in many different forms (ice, steam, hot water, etc.), there are many types of hydrotherapy. That means that pools, hot tubs, and spools all have certain therapeutic benefits! The best type of hydrotherapy varies from individual to individual, so it is important to do research to discover the best type of water therapy for your particular health profile. If you’d like to have a spool installed in your backyard, Dorian Construction can help!

Cold Water Therapy

Cold water contains more oxygen than hot water, so it is known for its alkalizing properties. It stimulates blood flow away from the exposed area, providing an invigorating jolt for skin and muscles. Cold water is also well recognized for its beautifying effect. Cold showers are known to tighten cuticles and pores and increase moisture and shine in hair.

Hot Water Therapy

Hot water, conversely, relaxes muscles and eliminates lactic acid build up through the promotion of blood flow to the exposed area. Accordingly, hot water therapy is helpful in relieve sore muscles and reducing stress.

Contrast Hydrotherapy

Contrast hydrotherapy is a method of alternating between very hot and very cold water. Basically imagine going back and forth from a hot spring to a cold river. Blood vessels expand and fill with blood during the hot water treatment, and blood vessels constrict and send blood to the internal organs during the cold water treatment. This can be done is a shower by turning the water back and forth from hot to cold every few minutes. While this may seem like an extremely uncomfortable form of treatment, it is quite refreshing and rejuvenating.

Spools and Mild Contrast Hydrotherapy

If you aren’t too thrilled about the idea of going back and forth from a hot bath to an ice bath, there is a more moderate option. Spools are a unique pool and spa hybrid that offer the benefits of hot and cold water at once. Users can swim in normal pool temperatures for awhile and then sit by one of the heated jets located throughout the pool. This is not nearly as extreme of a transition as normal contrast hydrotherapy. It still provides many health benefits associated with water therapy.
