The benefits of water therapy are at the center of our new riverside Gló Spa. Gló is the creole word for water, and it is believed that Spa comes from the Latin term “salus per aqua,” which means health through water.
The use of water in wellness practices dates back to ancient times in both Eastern and Western civilizations. This time-honored treatment continues to be an integral part of health and wellness practices in today’s world.
Hydrotherapy is a wonderful method of reviving mind, body and spirit. The use of water, in its many forms, can soothe pain, promote physical well-being and help you relax.
The benefits of hydrotherapy are based on the body’s reaction to hot and cold stimuli, to the protracted application of heat, to the pressure exerted by the water and to the sensation of the water.
