therapeutic properties

Shiatsu

water, natural self-healing mechanisms of the body.
The first reaction which can be felt on the skin is followed by a second reaction which af-
fects the internal body tissues, connected to the surface via nerves: by acting on the blood
concentration, a state of balance is applied to the body part to be healed. A natural practice
which stimulates innate healing, activating the aforementioned to re-stabilise the state of
health.
Hydromassage is a form of therapy which takes place using water jets at specific pres-
sures and directed in a clearly defined direction.
The Jacuzzi® hydromassage tubs represent the results of detailed design research and
are designed so that specific attention is paid to the position of the jets, which are con-
sidered in terms of the ergonomics of internal forms, to optimise the effects of the hydro-
therapy actions.
Stimulation of the skin using warm baths and hydromassage increases the circulation,
blood flow, even the lymphatic system, activating enzyme activity stimulants.
Hydromassage provides significant effects in terms of treating issues associated with
blood circulation in the legs, but also in the case of osteoarthritis, rheumatic disorder,
phlebitis.
The therapeutic properties of hot water are effective for all body types, sizes and to
meet all stress levels and serve an extremely important role for many patients suffering
with musculoskeletal pain, all thanks to the heat and hydrostatics of the water.
M
use allows you to use different types of hydromassage: ranging from the Shiatsu
dorsal sequence to the personalisable Aquasystem® programmes, least forgetting
the possibility of fusing the two systems.
An exclusive Jacuzzi® patented hydromassage system, which includes two parallel rows
with 32 jets, located along the "vu" meridian which, according to
Chinese medicine, bestows energy to the entire body from the back.
The water microjets are positioned so that they make contact and activate all the cer-
vical, dorsal and lumbar points, applying the same gradual pressure of the fingers of a
masseur.
The pressure is governed by a complex electro-hydraulic system which produces a
genuine water flow, and progressive "rolling" of pressure: this is exactly what happens
with Shiatsu. The treatment can be carried out according to two modes: from bottom
upwards (toning) and from top downwards (relaxing)..

"W
ater provides healing", affirmed the Abbot,
Sebastian Kneipp in the latter part of the
nineteenth century, setting the foundations
for modern hydrotherapy: a healing method based upon nu-
merous water applications.
Partial and complete showers, cold, hot or steam baths, bare-
foot walks (even in seat water or streams) help us reawaken,
all thanks to the thermal contrast produced by cold and hot
