Hydrotherapy basically means water therapy in its many forms. Whether you are receiving a Watsu treatment through being floated and massaged in natural hot springs water, or receiving an exfoliating salt glow treatment where the water is gently hosed over your entire body, the pure enjoyment of natural hot water has no equal when it comes to allowing the body to relax. The more relaxed a guest enters into the massage treatment room, the more benefit the guest will receive in their individual treatment. Water is an element of life. Water exists in almost everything on our planet.
Water soothes our soul.
There are many research projects being conducted at various universities throughout the United States and the world. The results of the effect of body work on human beings and even more recently animals, is too large to be ignored. Also, the International Spa Association, ISPA, is currently doing some research on what it is that the spa goer looks to receive in regards to attending a spa. Cornell University has an entire department of mind and body awareness dedicated to the study of just these topics. That's a good question.
