Learn Hydrotherapy on the affordable
Woods Gravity System rather than any other!
The Original Woods Gravity Method of Colon Hydrotherapy by Dr. Robert Wood. The Woods Gravity Method has been used since the 1950s. It was the first method to be used in clinics and still used decades later. Dr. Wood from Indiana, USA was the original teacher who taught therapists across USA and Canada. Joanne's teacher was trained by Dr. Wood, who then started a school in Toronto and Halifax. It is a gentle therapy that is equal to any other method used today, such as the expensive hydrotherapy machines.
The Woods Gravity System is a cost effective set-up to get you started in your practice without going into serious debt. Other expensive hydrotherapy machine set-ups cost $12,000. The Woods Gravity System costs a couple hundred dollars. Once you are solidly and economically settled into your business, you might want to purchase a machine, or not. We still use the Woods Gravity Device as it continues to be just as effective today, while rivaling any other system.
