Hydrotherapy
Water cure is a course of medical treatment by hydrotherapy.
Hydrotherapy involves the use of water for pain-relief and treating illness. The term hydrotherapy itself is synonymous with the term Water cure as it was originally marketed by practitioners and promoters.
One such overlap pertains to Spas.
According to the International Spa Association, hydrotherapy has long been a staple in Resort spas. It's the generic term for water therapies using jets, underwater Massage and mineral baths (e.g. balneotherapy, water cure therapy, medical spas, water treatments, thalassotherapy, day spas, ) and others. It also can mean a whirlpool bath, hot Roman pool, hot tub, Jacuzzi, cold plunge and mineral bath. These treatments use physical water properties, such as temperature and pressure, for therapeutic purposes, to stimulate blood circulation and treat the symptoms of certain diseases.
