Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is any use of water for healing purposes. It includes water-based exercise, icing sprains, steam baths, soaking in a tub, colonic irrigation, douches, enemas, swimming, and saunas.

Hydrotherapy uses the buoyancy, warmth, and effects of the water's turbulence to speed recovery after surgeries, reduce pain and stress, spasm and discomfort. It is especially beneficial for people with work-related or sports injuries, arthritis, neck, back, or knee pain, hyperthermia, and more. This therapy serves to promote relaxation, strengthen muscles, improve coordination, and relieve pain.
