Hydrotherapy is the use of water in the treatment of disease/illness.
Hydrothermal therapy additionally uses its temperature effects,
as in hot baths, saunas, wraps, etc. Water also has a
hydrostatic effect. It has a massage-like feeling as the water
gently kneads your body. Water, in motion, stimulates touch
receptors on the skin, boosting blood circulation and releasing
tight muscles. |

Hydrotherapy and hydrothermal therapy are chiefly used to tone
up the body, to stimulate digestion, the circulation, and the
immune system, and to bring relief from pain. |
