What are the healings from hydrotherapy ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Hydrotherapy works by relaxing muscles, increasing blood flow to injured tissues and also allowinig someone to exercise without the effects of gravity. It is very useful for elderly people with multiple joints affected by arthritis. It is not a "cure" for anything but is an adjunctive treatment in a overall rehabilitation plan.
