hydrotherapy
This term describes a clinical approach to healing that leverages the physical properties of water, such as buoyancy, temperature, and hydrostatic pressure. It is primarily associated with medical rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and sports medicine, carrying a professional and therapeutic connotation rather than a recreational one.
As an uncountable noun, it refers to the practice or method as a whole. To refer to individual sessions or specific applications of the treatment, speakers must use partitive constructions such as a course of hydrotherapy or a session of hydrotherapy.
