Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy, or water therapy, relies on the use of water of varying temperatures to facilitate the healing process. Hydrotherapy may include hot and cold showers, foot baths, contrast bath therapy, as well as the time spent in saunas and steam rooms.
STC is a hydrotherapy clinic designed to provide several types of water therapy services. Our experienced team has worked with a number of clients who have greatly facilitated from adding hydrotherapy to their recovery plan and we are happy to do the same for you. For more information on how exactly this approach can help in your case, feel free to get in touch with one of our physiotherapy professionals. We’ll listen about your issues, invite you to consult in-person and advise on the best hydrotherapy treatment for your specific case.

About Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy involves the use of hot and cold water, both being beneficial for improving blood flow:
- Cold water proved to affect the constriction of superficial blood vessels, re-directing the blood away from the surface of the body to the organs.
- Hot water expands the superficial blood vessels, activates the sweat glands and ultimately helps remove the waste from body tissues.
Depending on your physical state and issues you are recovering from, we apply either hot or cold water therapy. In some cases, hydrotherapy treatment may involve the combination of the two because it helps decrease inflammation and stimulate lymphatic drainage and circulation.
