How it's used
While the term technically encompasses medical hydrotherapy used in physical therapy, it is overwhelmingly used in daily life to refer to luxury spa treatments. It functions as a catch-all for services like massages, facials, and sauna sessions found in commercial settings. When referring specifically to the medical practice, people often clarify by mentioning the context of physical therapy.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the act of swimming or general water play. Using it to describe going to a public swimming pool will cause confusion, as it specifically implies a service-oriented, relaxing, or therapeutic environment.
