Concept of hydrotherapy

By definition, we should understand that hydrotherapy is “the science of procedures capable of modifying the state of the organism and that uses water as a direct intermediary. Its application is subject to precise indications, because just as it can have results with very healthy effects, it can be harmful or dangerous at some point if it is not treated carefully and there is no knowledge to apply it.
