Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy uses water at different temperatures for relaxation and symptom relief, in forms such as baths, compresses and steam. Warm water can ease muscle tension and joint stiffness.

Take care with heat if you have heart disease, low or high blood pressure, diabetes with neuropathy, pregnancy or skin problems, and seek advice first.
