Human Attraction to Water

Find out why hydrotherapy has people naturally transfixed. Human attraction to water goes beyond the need for survival; it is a part of us even before we are born. So, it's no wonder that we seek water for comfort, from the feeling of buoyancy that mimics the womb to the tranquility of a hot water bath. Whether splashing in pools, fishing on rivers, surfing ocean waves or relaxing in a steamy shower; we're happier when we're IN water. So why does it hold us so transfixed? Our ties to water are as ancient as the element itself. The human body is about 60% water by makeup, while the brain is comprised of up to 80% h2O by volume1. Water has healing powers. And hydrotherapy, which encompasses any process that uses water to benefit health stems from our earliest civilizations. Scientists and clinicians commonly use hydrotherapy today to relieve arthritis and promote the repair of muscle tissue. The first and simplest benefit comes from buoyancy - the weightlessness you feel in water takes pressure off of joints and bones, relieving pain and tension. The second value is in the delivery of heat to parts of the body. But there's a missing ingredient, often overlooked, that makes a critical difference when trying to understand our lasting obsession with water: movement. Movement unlocks an extra level of powerful benefits that many water-¬‐lovers and spa¬‐goers miss.
