UNVEILING HEALTH TOURISM: FROM THE PEN OF OUR CLINIC PARTNERS
What is an Underwater Jet Massage?
An underwater jet massage is a therapeutic treatment performed in a bathtub filled with water at a temperature of 35-37°C. During the session, a powerful, pressurised jet of water (ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 atm) is released through a hose and directed manually by the therapist. The jet is aimed at the main muscle groups from a distance of 10 to 15 cm and at an angle, using strokes. By adjusting the distance and angle, the therapist can vary the intensity of the water jet pressure on the body, providing a customised massage experience.
How an Underwater Jet Massage Helps
The primary goal of an underwater jet massage is to alleviate stiffness in the muscles and connective tissues and to release the joints partially. This treatment is also renowned for its relaxation benefits, making it one of the most effective spa treatments available for stress relief. The therapeutic effects include:
Muscle Relaxation: Eases muscle tension and stiffness.
Joint Relief: Helps partially release joint stiffness.
Stress Reduction: Promotes relaxation and reduces stress.
Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow to the treated areas.
