Description:

Many therapists and other body workers  tend to use hydrotherapy as part of the treatment of their client/patient.  However, we may be using hot and cold treatments without fully understanding the effects that it may have on the body. Understanding why and how a technique is used and the individual needs of each client/patient is most important and can enhance the treatment. 

​

This course is a theoretical introduction to hydrotherapy, ideal for Manual Therapists, Kinesiologists, and Personal Trainers.  Whether you are working in rehabilitation, manual therapy, or health and fitness, you may be using and prescribing hot and cold applications without fully understanding the effects on the body, possibly producing  unwanted results especially  if it is not using in a conscientious and scientific manner.  Knowledge of certain physical and physiological principles is necessary for an effective hydrotherapy treatment.
