The Role of Bathtub and Shower Jets in Hydrotherapy

A relaxing soak in a jetted tub, a swim in a warm salt water pool, and even gentle exercise in a specialized tank with a physical therapist. All of these are forms of hydrotherapy, a commonly used and encouraged health practice known for its gentle action on the body.

Hydrotherapy has its roots in Ancient Egypt, Greece, and, Japan and China where people would often visit public baths or natural hot springs to relax in, clean in, and to soak in rumored healing waters. Today, hydrotherapy is often used as an alternative treatment to help patients avoid overuse of pain medications, strengthen weak muscles, or improve overall comfort.
