Therapeutic Effects - What Can It Do For You?

The therapeutic factors of cold salt hydrotherapy can be used to treat any cause of inflammation within the tissues of the lower legs. 

Temperature

ECB Cold Spa solution is maintained between 2C and 4C (35F) to minimise heat and inflammation. This provides analgesic management. 

Salt Concentration 

The salt solution acts as a hypertonic poultice as well as having a natural healing effect on wounds. Water density increases with salt concentration which in turn increases pressure to aid fluid and waste dispersal.

 

Aeration 

Water aeration has a massaging effect on the leg and increases the dissolved oxygen content of the spa solution. 

Depth

The depth of the water is proportional to the pressure exerted on the left which aids fluid and waste dispersal.

 		 
 

Biological Control

With water hygiene levels continually being maintained which a combination of the filtration, chlorination, cold water and salt, the ECB Cold Spa allows numerous successive treatments.

Dissolved Oxygen

Water at temperatures below 6°C (48F) has a higher ability to carry oxygen and with the ECB Solution also being aerated, the oxygen content is increase dramatically. IT is believe that the Spa has similar effect on the internal leg injuries to the use of hyperbaric Chambers.
