What is hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy (hydro: meaning water) is the therapeutic use of water to promote healing, relieve pain, and support overall well-being. It involves various techniques like hot or cold water baths, steam, saunas, compresses, or water jets to stimulate circulation, relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and support detoxification. By leveraging the temperature and pressure of water, hydrotherapy can influence the nervous system, improve blood flow, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. It's often used in physical therapy, holistic health practices, and spa treatments to support both physical and mental recovery.
