Underwater Jet Massage

What is an underwater jet massage

The treatment is given in a bathtub at the temperature of 35-37°C. A powerful, pressurised (0.5 – 2.0 atm) jet of water is released through a hose underwater and directed manually by the therapist to the main muscle groups from a distance of between 10 and 15 cm and at an angle, in strokes. By varying the distance and angle, it is possible to change the intensity of the water jet pressure on the body.


How an underwater jet massage helps

The aim of this water massage is to alleviate stiffness in the muscles and connective tissues and to partially release the joints. It is also one of the most effective spa treatments for relaxation available.

Advisable for:

Musculoskeletal diseases, orthopaedic and accident rehabilitation, stress, fatigue, chronic constipation, some neurological diseases

Not advisable for:

Infectious diseases, fever, acute inflammation, untreated or uncontrolled hypertension, epilepsy, acute thrombosis, phlebitis acute or in the past, leg ulcers and other skin defects, endometriosis, shortness of breath, incontinence, pregnancy, psychosis, alcohol or drug abuse, menstruation, malignant tumours and blood disorders, incapacitation

Underwater jet massage

  • What it is

    A hydrotherapy massage given while you float in a tub of warm mineral water, as a therapist directs an adjustable high-pressure water jet over selected muscle groups. The buoyancy supports your body and softens the tissues, allowing the jet to work the deeper layers more comfortably than manual massage often can.

  • Who it's for

    Suited to guests carrying chronic muscle tension, post-exertion fatigue or sub-acute musculoskeletal complaints. It is typically prescribed by our resident spa physician following your entry medical examination, with the water temperature and jet pressure tailored to you.

  • Expected results

    Many guests report eased muscle tension, improved local circulation and a deep sense of relaxation after a session. Benefits tend to build gradually over a course of several treatments taken during a healing stay rather than from a single visit.
