Hydrotherapy

We are pleased to be able to offer Hydrotherapy to our patients. The Hydromassage Tables at Nelson & Nelson promote relaxation, enhance healing, improve cellular nutrition and therefore reduce stress.

Hydromassage includes:

  • Flotation: Hydromassage simulates the benefits of meditation; calming your mind and body; shifting your focus to the deep, penetrating action of moving water.
  • Massage: The whirling stainless steel jets direct powerful waves of water, reaching your body with serious tension melting massage therapy.
  • Heat: Each treatment soothes as it dilates blood vessels, speeds healing, and relaxes muscles.

Also known as dry water massage, the user lies down on or sits in the waterproof material barrier while still completely clothed. Underneath this protective barrier is a system of various water jets that utilize different pressure, temperature, and speed settings to massage the body in a noninvasive manner. Dry Water Massage is often utilized with goals of increasing blood circulation, decreasing pain and reducing inflammation by combining the various effects of hydrotherapy, massage therapy, acupressure, thermotherapy, soft tissue massage, and trigger point therapy.
