Hydralive

The business model allows franchisees to own and operate single clinics or develop multiple locations as area developers under standardized systems, marks, and operational procedures. Target market includes the general public, particularly college students, athletes, and individuals recovering from illnesses like the flu, competing in the alternative health industry.
