Hi, there. There are several common forms of hydrotherapy. First, there are packings. In fact, it is a wet sheet that wraps around entire body. The pack acts sedatively and stimulates skin excretion. Another form is sauna. It uses hot air or steam as a method. There are general baths, but local ones as well. Bandages or compresses can act in two ways. They can be cooling or warming, depending on a purpose. You should talk to a professional which form to choose. It will all depend on effect you want to achieve.
