A member asked:
Is hydrotherapy safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: Hydrotherapy is physical therapy conducted in water, which is gravity eliminating and helps a person to move their limbs and body more easily, while supplying gentle resistence to encourage gradual strengthening. It can be unsafe if you have multiple sclerosis where warm water can lead to further weakness, but only temporary. Another form of hydrotherapy is a water jet to debride ulcers. Also safe.
