Characteristics: What makes a hydrojet massage so special?

How a hydrojet treatment works

The Hydrojet treatment is carried out on a specially designed table with an integrated water filling. The treatment will take place clothed and does not require direct contact with the water. During the session, you lie relaxed on the warm table while computer-controlled nozzles direct pulsating jets of water against your body through the rubber mat. The intensity, speed and treatment area can be individually adjusted. This method combines the principles of

  • classic massage
  • heat therapy
  • Hydrotherapy (treatment with water to alleviate physical complaints)

How it works: How does a Hydrojet treatment work?

The lounger is covered with a flexible, heat-conducting mat, under which there is a chamber filled with water. Motorized nozzle heads move silently under the body and generate targeted water jets that hit the back, shoulders, legs or other parts of the body in waves. This creates a sensation of floating on a warm water surface. The treatment usually lasts between 15 and 20 minutes and is available in many resorts, rehabilitation centers and wellness hotels.

Indications: How does Hydrojet work?

Hydrojet massage is considered a gentle yet effective form of therapy for alleviating various ailments. According to a study by the Institute of Biomedical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow (2011), positive effects were observed in patients with coronary heart disease. The pressure jets stimulate blood circulation, loosen tense muscles and promote lymph flow. Other areas of application:

  • Muscle tension (e.g. neck, back)
  • Arthrosis
  • Rheumatic diseases
  • Circulatory disorders
  • Stress-related complaints

In addition, the warmth of the bed can cause the blood vessels to dilate and thus improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue. Many treatments also report significant mental relaxation and an improved feeling of sleep after treatment.

  • Fresh surgical wounds
  • Thromboses and other venous diseases

Medical advice should be sought before treatment - especially in the case of chronic or acute illnesses.
