Cold Friction Hip-hath

The hip bath is one of the most useful forms of hydrotherapy. As the name suggests, this mode of treatment involves only the hips and the abdominal region below the navel. A special type of tub is used for the purpose. The tub is filled with water in a way that it covers the hips and reaches upto the navel when the patient sits in it. Generally, four to six gallons of water is required. If the special tub is not available, a common tub may be used. A support may be placed under one edge to elevate it by two to three inches.

The water temperature should be 10°C to 18°C. The duration of the bath is usually 10 minutes. The weak patients should, however, take this bath for a duration of five minutes or so. If the patient feels cold, a hot foot immersion should be given with the cold hip bath. The legs should be so adjusted that there is no pressure upon the muscles, ligaments and blood vessels of the knee region.
