Aqua massage beds use water jets to apply pressure to the body. The water jets can be adjusted to provide a variety of sensations, including:
- Pulsing
- Tapping
- Kneading
- Rolling
In hydrotherapy physical therapy using Aqua Massage, water pulse frequency can be independently adjusted separately from the water pressure control to suit each client’s sensitivity and needs for pain relief or relaxation, while a separate, hand-held control allows the patient to be interactive with the therapy and pause the adjustable pressure water jets on problem areas.
For example, patients can choose stronger pressure on the lower back and gentle pressure in the neck region. The hand-held control gives the patient individual control over their own therapeutic experience.
The duration of an Aqua Massage therapy session can vary, but it typically lasts for 15 to 30 minutes.
