Hydrotherapy Heaven The virtues of hydrotherapy, or
"water healing," have been renowned for thousands of years. The ancient
civilizations of Rome, Greece, Japan and others recognized the benefits of
bathing in hot springs. Today, you can enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy in
your own home. Relaxing in a hot tub after a strenuous day can release muscle
tension and renew energy.
High-pressure jets with warm water create the ultimate "water healing"
experience. It massages your body and recirculates water. Some jets shoot
straight out, while others swirl or pulsate.
When choosing your hot tub, take note of the jets you'll want. Here's a quick
list: Volcano jet: A large jet that's positioned at
the bottom of the tub and aimed upward for a water effect that's similar to a
volcano erupting. Whirlpool jet: This large jet is
placed out of the way of the seating area and is designed to create a large
rushing water effect at the perimeter of the tub. It should always be positioned
midway into the tub so you can maneuver your body and massage a specific area.
It provides a tremendous amount of pressure in a concentrated region. It's also
a diverter jet, meaning it diverts pressure from other jets, resulting in the
same type of whirlpool action found in a physical therapist's office. This form
of hydrotherapy can be very beneficial for those who have sprains or muscular
injuries. Whirly jet: This small jet produces 2
surprisingly powerful streams of water in a tight, rotating formation. The
massage action is similar to someone taking his or her thumb, applying pressure,
and then massaging in a circular motion. Ozone jet:
This specialty jet is unique from all others as it is part of the hot tub's
filtration system. When an ozonator is installed, the ozone is introduced into
the water through this jet, helping to sanitize the tub. The ozone will appear
as a stream of small bubbles and will be active during heating and filtration
cycles. Adjustable jet: This jet can be easily
turned on and off by twisting the plastic rim around the jet. This allows you to
adjust which jets are receiving the water flow and, thus, personalize your
hydrotherapy experience. Neck jet: These are
installed in pairs above the water line and are angled to provide targeted
massage action to your neck and shoulder region. Power massage jet:
This large jet rotates a large stream of water through 7 nozzles, producing a
powerful massage experience over a large area. It is generally used for your
lower back. Dual rotator jet: A medium-size jet
that contains 2 powerful nozzles that rotate in a circular pattern, massaging an
area the size of your hand. Directional jet: This is a jet where the nozzle
may be moved, positioning the stream of water as you
desire. Swirl jet: This jet's single nozzle swirls
the water around in a circular pattern, providing an overall massage in a wide
area. Pulsing jet: The pulsing jet's 2 nozzles
rotate to provide a pulsing massage motion that's great at helping to relax your
tight muscles. Power dual roto jet: This powerful jet offers you the best of
all worlds with 2 powerful rotating nozzles that can be adjusted to multiple
massage patterns. |
