The benefits of hydrotherapy
One of the healthiest sports that your pet can practice is swimming, as water manages to stimulate and relax the whole body, benefiting in a very positive way the different systems, metabolism and heart.
The muscular system is one of the most benefited. Inside the water, the resistance up to 15 to 20 times bigger than it is on land, so the muscles are used without stress due to body weight. This is why water helps to build healthy muscles and fight spasms and edema.
Hydrotherapy also calms the nervous system and reduces stress, stimulates the joints and restores the sensory channels. As for the endocrine system, it increases metabolic functions and causes hormones to be processed throughout the body. And talking about the circulatory system, hot water (at about 28 ° C) increases the body temperature causing the blood vessels to dilate and eliminate toxins, also distributing nutrients and oxygen. Another system that benefits is the lymphatic system. Hydrotherapy increases lymphatic drainage, reduces inflammation and boosts the immune system. On top of that, it helps burn fat. Water also helps the respiratory and digestive systems, as it increases the lung capacity and activates the digestive soft muscles providing nutrients to the cells. Finally, water benefits the urinary and skeletal systems. Indeed, it increases the blood supply to the kidneys and helps the release of toxins. It also makes all the bones more mobile and increases the joint arch.
