HYDROTHERAPY

Water is our simplest and most powerful resource for health.

​

Stillwater visitors receive hydrotherapy treatments on a regular basis. 

​

These treatments stimulate healing in many ways; 

  • enhancing the oxygenation and circulation of blood and lymph

  • promoting better digestion of food and nutrition to the cells

  • increasing the oxidation and elimination of toxins

  • strengthening the general defense of the body

  • assisting in the restoration of nervous equilibrium. 

 

Patients of all ages can benefit from these treatments.

ASHIYU JAPANESE FOOT SPA

The Ashiyu foot spa provides a deeply relaxing experience using the principles of hydrotherapy in a very simple and inexpensive form.

​

Soaking the feet in warm water draws the blood downward.  Almost immediately, the busy mind experiences a break.  Shifting the blood calms the nervous system, allowing the body a greater ability to restore itself.

​

A visit to the foot spa is a great way to end a stressful day, relax before appointments with any of our skilled practitioners or just as an addition to positive self-care.  Schedule a time alone or with friends to support health today!  

INFRARED SAUNA

Traditions around the world have utilized hydrotherapy practices for longevity, stress relief, immune support and more.  The sauna at Stillwater is available for the general public to enjoy this therapeutic experience in a peaceful and private environment.

​

Far-infrared rays penetrate the skin to encourage sweating from deep within the body’s primary waste deposition site, the subcutaneous fat!  Known to increase detoxification and remove toxins from the body up to 7 times more efficiently than the more common dry heat sauna with less stress to the body’s vital organs.

​

Here are 7 reasons to begin using an infrared sauna on a routine basis:

​

1.  Support Immune Function

2. Detoxification

3. Relaxation

4.  Pain Relief

5.  Lower Blood Pressure

6.  Improved Circulation

7.  Skin Purification

8.  Weight Loss

​

In accordance with traditional hydrotherapy practices, we encourage all sauna users to alternate the heat of the sauna with the cool of the shower.  Our sauna room includes a shower so you can gradually or dramatically cool your body to encourage the warmed blood to move deep into your core organs.  

 

This facilitates far greater benefits and a more comfortable experience.

INDIVIDUAL HYDROTHERAPY

Hydrotherapy (also known as Balneotherapy) is used to treat many acute and chronic health conditions. 

 

Examples of chronic conditions which may benefit from hydrotherapy include fatigue, asthma, constipation, autoimmune conditions such as arthritis, chronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome (CFIDS), HIV disease and AIDS, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, cancer and migraines.  Acute conditions that are treated include bronchitis, acute asthma attacks, colds, flus, coughs, headaches, and sinus infections.

​

Hydrotherapy comes in many forms.  Stillwater offers self-service experiences with the Ashiyu Foot Spa and Infrared Sauna.  These are available 7 days per week by appointment.  Intermittent classes on in-home hydrotherapy are offered with our educational programs and monthly Community Supported Herbalism wellness instructions.  Prescribed hydrotherapy sessions are administered in the office by a trained professional.

​

Constitutional Hydrotherapy is a traditional Naturopathic medicine tool for optimal health.  This 50-minute procedure boosts your white blood cell count, strengthening your immune system. It is also wonderful for improving circulation, oxygenating your cells, gently stimulating digestion, moving the lymphatic fluid, and stimulating the vagus nerve.
