About Hydromedix Group, Inc.

Our product provides the user with the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy without actually exposing the patient to water. In addition, our product may be used to provide icing, heat and whirlpool treatments in a manner which management believes provides the user with a greater degree of control and ease of use as compared to any of the traditional forms of hydrotherapy.
