Hydrotherapy (20 hours)

Hydrotherapy is the therapeutic application of water in its various states (solid, liquid, gas) to the human body. In addition to learning the history, theory, and physiology of hydrotherapy applications, our students experience giving and receiving hydrotherapy treatments in class. THAI is equipped with hydrotherapy tubs, foot baths, hydrocollator units, and paraffin units. Students also practice herbal wraps, dry brushing, friction rubs, ice treatments, ginger compress applications and contrast baths.

At THAI, our students gain an edge on the massage and spa services market by learning to integrate hydrotherapy treatments into their massage practices.
