Hydrotherapy - 'Hot and cold treatment'

On occasions the Osteopath may ask you to follow a hot and cold/ hot or just cold treatment plan to assist with your inflammation.

Osteopaths frequently use this treatment, which involves the use of both hot and cold water (such as hot and cold compresses), to help the body heal.

Cold water makes the surface blood vessels constrict, which reduces blood flow to the skin and calms the inflammation. By directing blood flow to the internal organs, it helps them function more efficiently.

Hot water relaxes and dilates the blood vessels, lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow to the skin and muscles. This benefits the immune system and aids detoxification.
