Tour of the Hydrosphere   

There is only one, dynamic water system on Earth, with a fix amount of water that does not increase or decrease. This natural system gets its energy from the sun (solar heated) and is in a constant dynamic state of circulation and recirculation, purification and self-renewal. All living things connect with and are part of Nature's water system and water is an essential element of all living systems.

This one water system has many different natural expressions that make up much of the beauty and wonder of the natural world. As therapists, we have a special relationship and connection with water. Using the natural behavior of water, we bring it into contact with the human body (client) to produce profound wellness transformations. In leaning about water for hydrotherapy, Nature is the best teacher, and we learn by connecting with water in all its different dynamic expressions. And the basic principles of the behavior of water in the hydrosphere are same principles of the behavior of water in human body, which is in a constant state of circulation, recirculation and purification (the body of an average size person contains about 10 gallons of water). And the hydrosphere is the source of our water. Over every 20 days, we lose more than 12 gallons of water and replace that with 12 gallons of water from the hydrosphere in a natural rhythm of water loss and water gain.
