WHAT IS HYDROTHERAPY?

The term "hydrotherapy" is derived from two Greek words, "hydor" meaning water and "therapeia" meaning healing.

The history of the use of water for healing purposes dates back many thousands of years.

Today "hydrotherapy" has been defined as:

"A pool therapy programme specifically designed for an individual to improve neuromuscular skeletal function, conducted by appropriately qualified personnel, ideally in a purpose built heated hydrotherapy pool."
