Aqua Massage
Aqua massage is a quick, convenient way to get a full-body massage. All you need to do to prepare for the aqua massage is remove your shoes
After your shoes are removed you will lay down on the bed of the aqua massage machine. The cover of the machine will come down over you. Then a bar with 36 water jets travels from your toes to your neck and back again and again for the duration of your massage.

Will I get wet?
No. You will not get wet in an aqua massage machine; there is a waterproof barrier between you and the water jets. It is a thin layer, so you will get all the benefits of the water pressure, but it does keep you from getting wet.
How much time do I need to set aside?
Not very much! A very good length of time for your aqua massage is 15-25 minutes.
Is an aqua massage very relaxing?
Yes! Imagine how nice the jets of a whirlpool bath feel or the feeling of using a massaging showerhead when you are taking a shower. An aqua massage gives you a similar experience, except it is even better! There are 36 water jets spraying at your body from many angles, not just the few jets focusing on one small area like with a massaging showerhead. The jets travel up and down your body multiple times during your massage, giving you a full body massage. The sound and motion of the water are also very soothing.
How often should I get an aqua massage?
Ideally, once every week or two would be great! This will keep your muscles, and your mind, relaxed. Your muscles will not have a chance to become too tight and sore between massages. You can even come in more often if you are working on a specific injury or problem area. But, if you get too busy and forget to come in for a while, remember you can stop in again any time, we’ll be here for you!
Can I adjust my aqua massage to my specific needs?
Yes! There are many different intensity levels that can be programmed into the machine. You can receive a light, gentle massage up to a very intense pressure for those of you who really have knots in your back or neck. The pressure can even be adjusted for different sections of your body. For example, if you really need to work on your lower back, but are a little more sensitive to so much pressure everywhere else, the machine can be programmed to suit your requirements.
In addition, if you want to focus the massage on a certain spot, the machine can be paused any time you choose. You will have a control in your hand which allows you to pause the machine yourself whenever you want to.
Who Can Have an Aqua Massage?
