The hydromassage panel allows you to experience a whole gamut of new sensations. The practicality of this device is quite large, much higher than that of an ordinary shower, due to its versatility. A variety of hydromassage systems allows anyone who wants to choose the right format for their interior.
Hydromassage at home
Hydromassage is a massage using a jet or stream of water. What is achieved with its help? Improving the entire human body, as well as a targeted effect on problem areas of the body.
Due to the flow of water supplied under pressure, the procedure is quite effective in the treatment of various diseases. Scientists have found that the most significant effect on the human body is exerted by air bubbles that are in the stream of water.
Bathtubs and pools are equipped with hydromassage panels; there are also separate shower panels and cabins. Water and air are mixed in the stream, due to which microbubbles are formed, which, hitting the skin, have a beneficial effect on the human body.
Hydromassage shower panels, bathtubs and pools in the SPA are equipped with special openings - nozzles. They produce the formation of bubbles. The power of the air-water stream can be regulated, and thanks to the modification of the nozzles, even the shape of the stream can be modified.
Hydromassage procedures are an integral part of most programs for the treatment of diseases such as:
- metabolic disorder;
- pathology of the peripheral nervous system;
- diseases of the internal organs;
- disorders in the musculoskeletal system.
Also, hydromassage procedures are used for weight loss and complex treatment of problem areas affected by cellulite.
General accessibility
Hydromassage is a useful and pleasant procedure, with the help of which pain in the muscles is relieved and relaxation of the clamped area of the body begins. Previously, hydromassage sessions were rare and could be used only in medical institutions, resorts and private clinics.
The advent of hydromassage panels for showers, bathtubs, and pools made the massage procedure accessible to almost everyone. Of course, not every family has the opportunity to spend money on this device, but those who can afford it understand that the costs will pay off. After all, it is much more profitable to pay once for installation than to regularly spend money on visiting medical institutions.
If it is difficult for you to purchase a shower cabin with a large presence of nozzles, do not despair. You can also get a relaxing massage using separate hydromassage panels. They have a relatively low cost and many useful features.
The low price and compactness of such panels allows you to purchase a “home massage therapist” for those who do not like the design of a finished shower or simply do not have free space for it in the bathroom. In this case, you can independently choose the model of the hydromassage panel in accordance with the size of the room.
Types of hydromassage
The most widespread and easy to use is the jet type of hydromassage. The principle of operation is to supply a stream of water under pressure.
A simplified version of the hydromassage you could receive in childhood. In hot summer weather, children often spray each other out of the hose with water. At the same time, if you squeeze the edge of the hose a little, the water pressure will increase significantly - a great hydromassage, isn't it?
More complex and useful is the vibratory and whirlpool hydromassage. Baths with nozzles that create vibratory currents are especially useful for weakening the muscles of the whole body: legs, arms, abdominals, and also the back.
Pros and cons of the hydromassage panel
The therapeutic effect of hydromassage is obvious. It is well known that with the help of regular procedures it is possible to get rid of insomnia, cellulite, strengthen immunity, cope with diseases of the peripheral nervous system, and also improve blood circulation throughout the body. The influence of water flows under pressure is useful for varicose veins, bruises, stomach diseases, metabolic disorders.
An important advantage can be considered that the hydromassage panel is quite compact. You can attach it in any part of the bathroom, even above the bathroom itself. This is an undeniable plus for those who have very little space in the room. An important advantage of the panels is their low price, in contrast to ready-made showers.
In order for the hydromassage panel to function well, you need to pay attention to the plumbing in the house. If it does not meet the following conditions, then buying this device is pointless:
- The required level of water pressure (the correct operation of the panel is possible only at a pressure of at least two atmospheres). There is no built-in pump in the hydromassage panel, so the pressure in the water supply plays a very important role in its functioning.
- The presence of hot water. If a water heater with a power of more than 24 kW is installed in the house, then the hydromassage panel will work correctly. The storage water heater, especially with low power, will not work, as the panel will malfunction (water temperature drops).
The main tool of the hydromassage panel is nozzles. Their number and location may vary depending on the model. Usually there are 4-6 holes arranged in pairs, each of which is intended for certain parts of the body (neck, back, buttocks).
The German AM.PM hydromassage panels are particularly durable and of high quality. The latest technology makes it easy to equip a bathroom.
