Underwater Pressure Massage

Underwater Massage

The therapeutic benefit of the underwater pressure massage comes from the relaxing effect of warm water, applied at variable force on the muscles, particularly on deep-lying muscle layers, subcutaneous tissues, skin and the abdominal organs (intestines).

In the underwater pressure massage the client lies relaxed in a large tub of warm water. A stream of water under pressure (ranging from 0.5 to a maximum of 7.0 bar absolute pressure units) is applied by means of a hose that has interchangeable nozzles.

The water needed for the massage is drawn from the tub and returned under pressure through the hose. The high-pressure stream of water is created by an internal pump.

The underwater massage is indicated for the following:

Fractures
Sprains
Sciatica
Lumbalgia
Myogeloses
Chronic Joint Rheumatism
Muscular Rheumatism
Scoliosis
