Hydrotherapy

You’ll lie comfortably on a treatment table as hot and cold towels are applied in a carefully timed sequence to your abdomen/chest and back. Gentle sine wave electrical stimulation applied to the abdomen and back is used to enhance organ and nerve function and stimulate lymphatic tissue. Most clients find the experience deeply relaxing, often leaving the session feeling calm, clear, and refreshed.

Constitutional hydrotherapy can be safely adapted for children as young as 5 or 6 years old, depending on their developmental readiness and comfort. It’s gentle, non-invasive, and suitable for teens, adults, and elders alike. Each session is tailored to your comfort level, health status, and individual needs.

Absolutely. Your comfort and dignity are a top priority. You’ll remain covered with towels and blankets throughout the session, and only the areas being treated will be exposed at any time. We provide clear instructions and check in frequently to ensure you feel safe and supported.

The number of treatments depends on your health goals and the condition being treated. We generally recommend following a 10-session protocol for optimized results. However, some clients benefit from a short series of sessions (e.g., 4–6), while others may include hydrotherapy as part of ongoing care. Book a free discovery call, and we’ll discuss a plan that aligns with your healing goals and lifestyle.

While constitutional hydrotherapy is safe for most people, certain conditions may require modifications or make the treatment inappropriate. These include: open wounds, severe respiratory disorders, blood clots, pacemakers or defibrillators, intrauterine devices (IUDs), malignant tumors, active heavy menstrual bleeding, or pregnancy. If you’re unsure whether this therapy is right for you, book a free discovery call, and we’ll help you make an informed decision.

At this time, we do not accept insurance for any of our services, including constitutional hydrotherapy. While some Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) or Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) may reimburse for constitutional hydrotherapy, we encourage you to check with your provider. If needed, we’re happy to provide documentation or a superbill for reimbursement purposes (please note there is a fee for superbill preparation), however, we cannot guarantee that services will be covered by your insurance provider.

Wear or bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothes and avoid eating a heavy meal right before your session. You may also want to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated afterward. We’ll walk you through everything else when you arrive.

A typical constitutional hydrotherapy session lasts 60 minutes. This includes time for towel applications, electrical stimulation, and a brief consultation before and after the treatment to tailor the session to your needs. Please note that add-on services (dry brushing, sheet wraps, etc.) will increase the overall session time.

Most people tolerate hydrotherapy very well. Mild side effects may include temporary fatigue, emotional release, or increased urination as your body detoxifies and rebalances. These are generally short-lived and part of the healing response. We’ll always monitor your comfort and adjust as needed.
