There is nothing more relaxing after a day on the slopes,
hiking or exercising as a nice soak in a hot tub. While most of us treat this
as a miniature retreat and relaxation amongst our daily activities, spas and
hot tubs are a great form of hydrotherapy. Sitting in a Hot Tub is More than Just Fun
By definition hydrotherapy is the
use of water to relieve discomfort and promote physical well-being. All
temperatures of water and ice may be used for this purpose, and our students at
AMI are trained to utilize these techniques to help loosen muscles and aid in
our clients massage therapy.
The Romans Knew what They were Doing
Bathhouses are known to have existed as far back as 4500
B.C., and the Romans were well versed in the medical advantages inherent to
this great invention. In fact the Romans were well known for utilizing aromatic
massage, hydrotherapy and steam to help comfort and heal those with certain
medical conditions.
Since then, we’ve learned much about the value of using
natural methods to help heal and equally important, keep us healthy. Although
hot water spas are known mainly for relaxation and stress reduction, it is also
thought that hot water can stimulate the immune system. Cold water is often
used to help reduce inflammation and ice baths are popular with many
professional athletes after intense workouts or competitions.
Helping Massage Students Reach Their Goals
We have a lot of fun educating the great students at Aspen
