The Hydration Room was created by anesthesiologist Dr. Brett Florie in California in 2014 after he started developing vitamin IV therapy to help his wife, who was suffering from migraines. He then realized how the treatment could help patients in general.

The Hydration Room is a clinic that provides hydration therapy by combining osteopathic and allopathic medicine into IV therapies and customized vitamin injections. Some advantages of a The Hydration Room franchise may be the efficiency of IV hydration and injection therapies in a friendly and relaxing environment, with affordable prices and no waiting.

Why You May Want To Start a The Hydration Room Franchise

To own a The Hydration Room franchise, there may be no requirements for experience. Franchisees can come from all walks of life, especially if they've experienced healthcare issues.

The injection therapy and IV hydration can be used against several symptoms, such as migraines, sore muscles, low energy, a cold or flu, jetlag, chronic pain, or a long night of over-indulgence. The IV hydration is a fast treatment, usually taking less than 30 minutes considering the needs and hydration status of the patient. The injection therapy is administered by a nurse or physician in an individual room.

If awarded a franchise, franchisees receive a great deal of support from The Hydration Room brand throughout the franchising process. In addition to pre-opening training, franchisees receive support through brand awareness, marketing, research, and construction. They also receive hands-on training and continued support after their franchise location has opened.

What Might Make a The Hydration Room Franchise a Good Choice?

Since The Hydration Room was founded in 2014, tens of thousands of patients have received some treatment in the clinic.
