Spa Holidays with Water Therapy
There is something very special about being immersed in water and many of us from a young age, feel that sheer joy at being weightless and supported by the volume of water around us. Spa holidays with water therapy are total joy as well and can have a very positive effect on your health and wellbeing. There are many types of water therapies ranging from Watsu (where you are cradled in heated water and gently moved, stretched and massaged) to Ai Chi (a type of hydrotherapy which can really help stress, depression and anxiety) and they can be very beneficial for all, particularly those who have limited movement 'on land'.
