Splash Mineral Pools & Spa...because life's better in a robe!
So, what are our Mineral Pools all about and why are they so special anyway? The reason our pools here at Splash are so special is because rather than using the typical harsh chemical chlorinated filtration systems that other pools and facilities use, our pools use a special Mineral Filtration System to keep our pools sparkling fresh and clean, and then we go on to further infuse the pools with added soft Mineral Salts and Magnesium. What does this mean for you? This means the water is delightfully soft and also aids in detoxifying your skin and body. It also means that you step out of the pools feeling fresh and smooth, rather than with tight and dry skin! In addition, due to the added soft Mineral Salts and Magnesium, the pools are incredibly relaxing, soothing, healing and repairing for tired, sore, or damaged muscles! The pools are perfect for relaxation, and perfect for speeding up recovery times between gym workouts, or a hard day at Movie World, Dream World, or any of the other fantastic theme parks the Gold Coast has to offer! Why not use Splash as your "day after" recovery option and chill out with a yummy cheese platter and relaxing drink too?!

Health Benefits of Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy in its modern form has proven to be effective not just in improving circulation, relaxation, digestion and the immune system, but also soothing the symptoms associated with musculoskeletal conditions and diseases.
Hydrotherapy also sooths and calms the lungs, heart, stomach, and endocrine system by stimulating nerve reflexes on the spinal cord.
Recent research has shown that water therapy can be highly curative for a wide range of conditions. For example, patients who have undergone abdominal surgery such as caesarean section can use hydrotherapy to alleviate pain, enhance relaxation, promote pain relief, and assist in wound healing. Hydrotherapy has also been recommended to aid blood circulation and alleviate symptoms for patients with varicose veins as well as being particularly beneficial for arthritis sufferers. Arthritic patients have shown significant improved joint tenderness and range of movement after hydrotherapy.
Hot and Cold Baths
Hot and cold baths have many recuperative and healing properties. They reduces stress, revitalize the circulatory and digestive systems and decrease sensitivity to pain. Hot water calms and soothes the body, relieving stress and loosening tense muscles. Cold water energizes and stimulates the mind and body and rejuvenates the immune system.
Most of us have experienced at one point or another the nagging achiness that comes with a chronic injury. Deep, moist heat is an excellent way to help control this pain.
Using hot and cold baths increases blood circulation, which in turn helps to circulate immune-boosting white cells throughout the body. This will not only enhance the immune system and rejuvenate the skin but will also raise energy levels.
Saunas and Steam Rooms
Saunas (dry heat) and steam rooms (moist heat) have been a popular form of hydrotherapy all through history. They assist in improving circulation throughout the body and in addition to this, saunas also provide assistance with weightloss and aid in healing other medical conditions and injuries.
Often when an injury has been long-standing, previously damaged muscle fibres have been replaced with tough collagen fibres (scar-tissue) which reinforce the damaged area. Collagen fibres do not have the blood vessels that a muscle has and this decreased blood flow to the tissue interrupts cell metabolism, oxygen delivery and metabolic waste removal in surrounding muscle tissue. Using heat, particularly deep, moist heat, helps to warm up an area by increasing blood flow and increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells. It aslo speeds up the metabolic processes which decreases pain and achiness. The heat can then allow the massage therapist to break down any scar tissue and realign the affected muscle fibres with those of the surrounding tissue.
Jet Hydrotherapy
One of the popular off-shoots of hydrotherapy is water jet hydrotherapy and water jet massage. These forms of hydrotherapy utilize jets of warm water to massage the body.
Water jet massage improves the functioning of the neuromuscular system. The continuous massage from warm jets of water activates metabolism and loosens up stiff muscles. The heat from the water soothes the muscles and causes the blood vessels to dilate. This stimulates the blood flow and gives a boost to the circulatory system. This improved circulation results in releasing the build up of lactic acid, which is the root cause of sore muscles. The controlled pressure of water which is applied all over the body also acts as a form of acupressure.
Water jet massage therapy is so effective that it is regularly used by professional athletes in the recovery of sport injuries and fatigue. It can also be used to enhance neuromuscular capacity when used in conjunction with strength training and it has even been used to treat certain cases of paralysis of the limbs. The invigorating effect of the water jets helps strengthen weakened muscles and energize deadened nerves.
Hydrotherapy in Conjunction with a Treatment Regime
Hydrotherapy can be combined with a treatment regime, such as massage and physiotherapy to help the health practitioner achieve better results in less time. Hydrotherapy can be used to increase suppleness and elasticity in the joints and because of this it can help achieve improved and longer lasting results in the treatment with less discomfort to the patient.
Hydrotherapy can also be combined with an exercise regime to help the individual gain mobility and strength in different areas of the body. For example, people suffering from osteoarthritis of the shoulder and neck who practice shoulder rolls and arm circles in the water will improve the strength and range of motion of their shoulder and neck. The sufferer will not experience pain due to the warmth of the water and because water also provides the necessary resistance and support through buoyancy.
Hydrotherapy in all forms is becoming more recognised for its healing potential. Tap into the wisdom of the ancient cultures and come to Splash to immerse your body and heal.
