The healing properties of water were recognized and revered by the ancient Greeks who built healing streams around sources of water.  Hippocrates, long considered the “Father of Medicine,” used water to reduce fever, and stressed the importance of using various types of baths, each with a different temperature, as a therapeutic means to combat illness.

Skin is the largest eliminative organ of the body.  Hydrotherapy treatments can help you achieve your health and wellness goals by using water therapies to strengthen your immune system, enhance detoxification, promote healthy aging and improve overall well being.

Healthy Directions Center has expanded the use of water therapies as part of our wellness program.  We now offer an amazing hydrotherapy experience, also known as the Wet Table Treatment, either on its own or as part of our Wellness Packages.  Having researched the therapeutic affects of water and the proven results of its benefits, Beverley Blass has brought this new therapy to Healthy Directions to support the cleansing and detoxification programs already available through our treatment opportunities, including the Renaissance Program.  Beverley and Dr. Paul Branch have developed this eight-day program where they work with you on an individualized, one-on-one basis.

During the water and steam treatments, you lie cocooned from the neck down by a full-body canopy on the padded treatment table which is designed to hold water.  (Towels are always used for warmth and modesty when the canopy is raised – also wearing a swimsuit is optional.)  Our trained hydrotherapists, all licensed massage therapists with additional natural healing skills, may also provide you with a healing herbal scalp and neck treatment. 

Steam, Aroma Therapy with Steam and the Vichy Shower are three different Wet Table Treatments utilizing the effects of seven adjustable shower jets on strategic areas of the body while you are inside the canopy.  The therapist adjusts the intensity and placement of the jets as you enjoy the water massage treatment with the therapeutic effect of varying temperatures of the water.

With Aroma Therapy, essential oils are added to the water, allowing you to enjoy the penetrating warmth of steam and the healing properties of water to cleanse and nourish your body from the outside in.  The aromatic steam penetrates your skin, giving your body a rejuvenating, cleansing experience at the cellular level.

After the Wet Body therapy, you can also receive a full body exfoliation, using 100% organic seaweed and the living enzymes of fresh fruits, including avocado and papaya. 

Come enjoy these unique experiences and their benefits.
