Hydrotherapy

Water is essential for our everyday life, from drinking to bathing. Water can also help treat a variety of disorders. Hydrotherapy, also known as aqua therapy, is the practice of using water as a medium for therapy and treatment. People of all ages can benefit from hydrotherapy, including children with special needs and senior citizens. Therapeutic Connections Rooted in Nature, used a heated pool for the therapy sessions.

A trained therapist can create a session that takes into account any disability or age related limitation. Water exerts 30 times more deep pressure stimulation on the body than air. Water surrounds the body with equal pressure on all parts that are immersed. This enables the utilization of new activities and movement.

Movement in the pool for people with vestibula needs, calms down the vestibular system, enabling organized movement at a level unachievable on land.
