Introduction

Hydrotherapy, formerly called hydropathy 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 in the 1800s. A hydrotherapist
therefore, is someone who practices hydrotherapy.
Water cure has since come to have two opposing
definitions, which can cause confusion.
