hydrotherapy
Healing through water
Hydrotherapy is the use of water to treat disease or injury.
The term covers a range of practices—from soaking in hot springs to physical therapy in pools to high-pressure water massage.
Water's buoyancy reduces stress on joints, making hydrotherapy common in rehabilitation: The doctor recommended hydrotherapy for her knee recovery.
