Dry hydrotherapy, also referred to as aquamassage, water massage or hydromassage, is a treatment that incorporates water with the intent of providing therapeutic massage.
Is it therapeutic? Maybe...
Is it reimbursable? Not according to several insurance companies.
Just to name a few, these payers now find DH experimental or investigational.
Why one company says your practice should include dry hydrotherapy anyway.
In dry hydrotherapy, the water is contained in a bed or chair, and the patient is separated from the water by a waterproof barrier, such as a vinyl cover. The user remains fully clothed and dry during the treatment. Pumps or water jets circulate, pulsate and spray the water within the contained area. Streams of pulsating water are sent along the patient’s body as the individual sits or lies on the device. The treatment is generally provided in chiropractor or physical therapy offices.
