How Important Is Hydration For Our Health and Body?

When working out or engaging in strenuous sports activities it’s important to sufficiently hydrate ourselves in order to replenish the fluids lost when sweating. The same applies in the case of physical therapy. That is why your physical therapist is always reminding you to drink plenty of fluids. It is important to understand that hydration is vital when undergoing recovering physical therapy, as well as for muscle regeneration when exercising. Bellow we will further detail the importance of hydration in these instances:

• The Soft Tissue Workout of Physical Therapy – People going through physical therapy will always be advised to properly hydrate because water enables the soft tissues’ ability to release tension. A dehydrated soft tissue will bruise easier and suffer regular muscle cramps. So, by sufficiently hydrating during therapy sessions you will be making sure the fluids your tissues have lost are being replenished, as well as helping alleviate the pain you experience when doing routine daily activities.
  
• Removing Metabolic Waste – Your physical therapist or trainer will assist you in alleviating tension and tightness in muscles that are being caused by blockages in the muscle’s ability to move waste. Therefore, by properly hydrating it will be easier for your body to eliminate metabolic waste helping soothe the tightness and tension from your muscles.
  
• Overall Body Health – Drinking plenty of fluids is necessary in order to make sure your body is healthy. Assuring your body’s daily necessary fluids help it cool down, make blood, and many other important functions.
