What is the typical treatment time for fluidotherapy?

Fluidotherapy is a modality often used in physical therapy, particularly for the treatment of conditions affecting the hands and feet. This technique involves circulating heated air through a medium (often cellulose particles), providing dry thermal heat and agitation that can help increase blood flow, enhance tissue healing, and reduce pain.

The typical treatment duration for fluidotherapy is around 15-20 minutes, which allows sufficient time for the therapeutic effects to take place without overexposure. This duration can effectively promote healing while minimizing the risk of discomfort or adverse effects associated with prolonged heat exposure.

In therapeutic settings, adhering to this time range ensures that patients receive the optimal benefits of the treatment while also allowing for adequate opportunity to monitor their response to the modality. Sessions shorter than this may not provide the desired therapeutic effects, while longer sessions may lead to excessive warming or discomfort.
