Hydrotherapy: Water is one of the most ancient and pleasurable elements of health and beauty known to mankind. The PWC unique hydrotherapy program is based on the science of water pressure applied externally to the body for improved physical well being. Our guests are eased into custom designated tubs filled with herbal and mineral mud additives heated to body temperature.
On a physiological level, hydrotherapy stimulates healing by enhancing oxygenation and stimulating the circulation of blood and lymph. It promotes more complete digestion and assimilation of food and improves the biochemical uptake and utilization of nutrients by the cells. It causes and increases the mobilization of toxic metabolic by-products and forces their elimination from overburdened organs and tissues. Throughout the process of hydrotherapy, the body's immune function is strengthened as immune system cells are stimulated to circulate throughout the body.
Herbal, Oil baths and Mineral baths have been used for centuries to heal and soothe the body, mind and spirit.
