Merav Hadar-Frumer - Hydrotherapy

"Thank you for four days of strength, endurance, and muscles. 

We still find D1 and D2 confusing, but the general idea is clear: 

  Even one little well-placed finger can     accomplish a lot. 

  A light, but correct touch can do        wonders. 

  A single motion, almost invisible, is a    world of its own for our clients.   

Thanks for reminding us why we are here!"
