The mere mention of the name Hyppocrates conjures the image of an old man in flowing robes tending the sick and wounded immediately comes to mind. Hyppocrates (460 BC) who is considered the father of modern medicine, used hydrotherapy as his main healing agent. His patients were positioned so that clay dams could be built around the injured or painful part of the patient's body and hot water was poured into the dammed-in area. Not only in ancient Greece, but also in all parts of the world the use of heat has long been considered to be the cornerstone of therapeutic endeavors. The appreciation for the healing qualities of heat existed long before the mechanics of heat therapy was fully understood.
