Hydrotherapy – how much do you know about this complimentary therapy?

Hydrotherapy is becoming a much more popular complimentary therapy for our patients, when used in conjunction with traditional medicine and veterinary care. Understanding the benefits of the therapy can help us to better inform and educate our clients, but also work closely with the multi-disciplinary team to provide the patient with a more holistic approach to recovery and rehabilitation. Hydrotherapy has a number of benefits to many of our patients with all manner of conditions.
