Hydromassage:
domestic hydrotherapy
How it works
Hydromassage is form of “external crenotherapy”. It is carried
out with special jets of water issued at certain pressures. The
jets are oriented in a centripetal direction, i.e. from the sole
of the foot to the chest, to facilitate the circulation of the
blood return. This centrality of the water jets in therapeutic
terms explains why their orientation is one of the key factors
to the Jacuzzi ® hydromassage.
In fact, hydromassage baths are designed with particular
attention to the positioning of the jets, which should not be
random placed but specifi cally considered together with the
internal ergonomics of the bath, to maximise the effects of the
hydrotherapy. The design of the bath, a key element of a good
hydromassage, is also the result of careful research. Jacuzzi ®
baths are deeper than traditional baths, with ergonomic
bottoms and sides that better accommodate all body shapes
and allow proper immersion of the body and better water
circulation. The Jacuzzi ® hydromassage is based on the physical
principle of the Venturi effect, which creates a perfect mixture
of air and water. For hydromassage to be done properly, the
jets must have an important characteristic: to be inclined at
30° to allow for a proper massage active from the surface
to the core (the perpendicular jets may be too energetic)
and to be adjustable in any direction, to ensure maximum
personalisation.
The authentic Jacuzzi ® hydromassage has jets inclined at
30°, which can be positioned in any direction.
