While hydrotherapy is generally safe, there are potential risks if not practiced correctly:
- Overheating from very hot baths or saunas, which can be particularly dangerous during pregnancy. - Skin irritation or infections from poorly maintained water sources. - Exacerbation of certain conditions, such as varicose veins, by prolonged use of hot water.
Always consult with a healthcare provider to ensure hydrotherapy is appropriate for your specific health condition.
