Reviewing up-to-date scientific knowledge and extracts from the reference books, we would like to point out the following benefits of hydro massage bath-tubs:

Hyperthermia of the bathtub, that is high temperature of water in the bathtub, induces strengthening of the immune system that fights against various illnesses - starting from viral infections to the severest diseases.

Alternative medicine: Many doctors recommend hydromassage and a hot bath as an alternative way of treating backbone pain, muscular strains or inflammation of muscular tissues, pains in the neck, shoulders, arthritis, headache, fibromyalgie, muscular-skeletal or neuromuscular disorders, “sports injuries”, various chronic pains and stress.

Hydromassage helps in the healing of various inflammations, cold and flu.

Inhalation of hot water vapors during the hydromassage is highly recommendable in case of sinusitis, bronchitis, allergy and asthma.

Hot water hydromassage treatment is the best way to eliminate toxins from the body, such as dioxin residues in fat tissue, and clean the organism from undesirable substances by means of sweating. Calcium deposits in blood vessels and damaged capillary cells are removed by hydromassage treatment.

Hydromassage stimulates blood circulation, thus having positive impacts on cardiovascular system. The pulse increases from about 75 to 100 – 140 throbs per minute in the period of 15 minutes. This will speed up blood circulation, but not the blood pressure since capillaries expand under the influence of heat from the water and enable higher blood flow. At the same time, greater supply of oxygen is distributed through the cells and other useful substances

Substance exchange is increased and metabolism significantly improved during the hydromassage.

Sports trainings and physical activities: Even in the ancient Greece , there was a habit to include an aromatic hot bath treatment in the training, which helped players and fighters achieve the best results. The initial warming of the muscles reduces the possibility of injuries, whereas the removal of milk acid alleviates the pain .

Beauty and good shape care:

Hydromassage enables multiple cleaning possibilities of the skin, removal of inactive cells and invisible dirt.
  • Hydromassage significantly increases blood circulation through the skin. Doctors say that the blood circulation through the skin increases during the hydromassage program from 5 –10 %, when the body is exposed to the room temperature, even to 50 – 70 % with respect to the total blood circulation in the organism .
  • The increased blood pressure during the hydromassage program enables better supply of the skin and epidermal cells with moist material substances and oxygen that speed up the regeneration and development of the cells, improve functions and overall appearance of the skin, as well as the function and appearance of the entire body. The parts of the skin that suffer from the effects of poor blood circulation will be gradually revitalized in this way .
  • Intensive usage of hydromassage bathtubs helps elimination of cellulite, i.e. fat layers, and especially those that are less hard .
  • The improvements in metabolism also have significant influence upon good and healthy looks of a person. The analyses of prominent professionals in the field of physiology have showed that the 40 ° C hot water in hydromassage bathtubs means speeding up of the metabolism for about 30% .
  • The process caused by hot water and hydromassage eliminates more effectively excessive number of sebaceous glands than do the lukewarm water and soap. Except for this, this process eliminates harmful bacteria which are usually found in these glands and which can be the cause of local skin infections .
  • Furthermore, the process stimulates the creation of collagen in the cells that increases skin elasticity and “irons” the wrinkles .
  • Finally, a bath in hydromassage bathtubs improves overall skins hydratation, and specifically its drier parts .

Medical professionals estimate that between 70 and 80 % of all visits to the doctors refer to disorders having stress as their root cause. Chronic stress directly affects the immune system and if such condition is not controlled and suppressed, overall health may be jeopardized with possible illnesses ranging from – frequent colds, infections and allergies, heart and blood vessels disorders, to the severest diseases. Even amusement itself can be the cause of stress that may have its consequences. The experience has shown that stress is best eliminated by physical exercises and relaxing means, and the hot water hydrotherapy proved to be the most effective therapy. Stress eliminating mechanism is based on the combined effects of hot water and mechanical effects of hydromassage, which can be strengthened by the so-called “aroma-therapy”. Medical experts for hydromassage also point out the positive effect of sociofamiliar therapy that is especially soothing when family members talk seated in the special hydromassage systems (for two or more persons).
