Absorbing chemical substances
Psychosomatic relaxation
Buoyancy in water allows for:
Assisted exercises
Absorption of medicinal elements
Only passive movements
Only resisted exercises
Water resistance causes:
Only hyperemia
Increased temperature
Pressure that varies with speed and surface area
Decreased strength

Facilitated movement and muscle exercise
Common settings for hydrotherapy application include:
Anywhere water is present
Only athletic facilities
Only hotel pools
Physiotherapy centers, hospitals, spas
The effect of hydrotherapy on the nervous system typically causes:
Relaxation and reduced muscle tone
Only hyperemia
Cramps
Muscle atrophy
Using water temperatures from 16–48° C should be:
