Hydrotherapy is also called aquatic bodywork. It uses the same techniques that massage therapy but adds a therapeutic benefit to the water. In a Watsu massage, you lie in the water with your mouth and nose staying above the surface, while your massage therapist rocks, twirls, and performs rhythmically motion, and stretches the muscles. Aquatic Bodywork’s warm and soothing effects can help with stress relief and tension. It is also a great way to relax your body and mind.

Your therapist will provide instruction during your session on how to perform the therapy. Aquatic bodywork therapists are trained in various massage techniques and have extensive experience. This is different from traditional massage, which focuses mainly on the physical aspect. With aquatic therapy, therapists use their hands, elbows, feet, and other methods to target the deep layers of the body and promote healing.

When performing aquatic bodywork therapy, the therapist gently cradles the receiver while working deep into the muscle. The fluid movements allow the receiver to feel at ease and comfortable. Deep tissue stretches are great for relieving tension and knots. Many therapists can also help with breathing exercises and other techniques which will help you to stay focused, calm, and relaxed.

To get started, a massage therapist will cover the body with a warm, loose blanket. They will position you in a comfortable position and begin to rub your body. You’ll likely gasp for breath, so make sure you are comfortable. To help stretch the area of treatment, you might be asked to move around. The therapist may also ask you to perform some simple stretches on your own.

One of the most common treatment procedures is shiatsu. Shiatsu is another type of acupuncture that’s similar to hydrotherapy. Shiatsu practitioners will usually work with a pressure pad that is used to apply pressure to pressure points along the body to bring about relaxation. Usually, a therapist will apply this pressure from the legs or feet to the head or ears, depending on where the problem is.

Moxabustion can also be used to treat aquatic bodywork. Moxabustion is a centuries-old practice that’s still being used today. Moxabustion uses a cone shaped device with a burner on the end. The cones are placed over the muscle or joints of the receiver and are lit and burned with hot air. The heat softens and breaks down the scar tissue. This procedure can ease chronic pain and increase circulation.

When they are experiencing chronic pain, tension in their muscles, or any other type of discomfort, many people turn to an aqua therapist or massage therapist. A lot of people have had amazing experiences with the relaxing effects of an aqua or moxabustion therapy session. These results led to the manufacture and distribution of home-based treatments. An aqua practitioner or massage therapist can help achieve a deep relaxation state and bring about a sense of well-being for the patient.

A massage therapist is not only qualified to treat the body. They will also provide self-massage for the patient. This is called shiatsu, or moxabustion. The massage practitioner will gently place the patient on a table. They will then use their hands, arms, legs to support the patient. Moxabustion, on the other hand, relaxes and activates the endocrine systems. Shiatsu targets the Meridian points. This causes deep relaxation and increases metabolism. This type of therapy is great for those who seek a soothing effect and deep relaxation therapy.
