| Over thousands of years, hydrotherapy, the therapeutic use of water has been
studied, developed, and recorded. Ancient cultures established
rituals, which persist even into the 20th century. Early scientists
such as Hippocrates and Celsius have bestowed upon us knowledge,
which appears to be timeless. |
