Hydrotherapy

The value of water treatments has been recognised since ancient times. Water is regarded as the fount of all life and can activate the body's healing energies. Specific applications of water are recommended for different complaints including exercises in water, compresses, wrapping, Sitz baths, sprays and inhalation. Many of these treatments are now carried out by PHYSIOTHERAPISTS and NATUROPATHS.
