Please ask us about making an appointment for an
session today.
While nearly everyone will enjoy and
benefit from an AquaMED hydrotherapy
session, if your physician has recom-
mended that you should avoid mas-
sage, you should refrain from participat-
ing. Individuals with heart or circulatory
problems, inflammatory conditions such
as phlebitis, or those who have varicose
veins, swollen joints, acute inflamma-
tions, high temperature or pain radiating
to the arms or legs when the back is
massaged should get physician
approval prior to use.

Lymphatic System:> Reduce fluid retention.
> Boost the immune system byenhancing the filtering of lymphactivities.
Circulatory System: > Increase circulation of blood and
nutrients to muscles.

muscle cramping.

> Speed recovery of muscles due to fatigue or strain.
Dry hydrotherapy is a combination of traditional "wet"
hydrotherapy and massage. Traditional "wet"
hydrotherapy involves the soothing combination of
heat and water pressure in the form of whirlpool
treatments to naturally and effectively increase the
body's healing process. For decades, whirlpool treat-
ments have proven therapeutic for relaxing tight and
sore muscles, improving circulation, assisting in the
recovery of painful or overtired muscles, reducing
stress, increasing flexibility, relieving joint stiffness,
and more.
Massage is another form of treatment that has
gained credence in the medical world as an effective
drugless therapy. Massage therapy produces similar
results to whirlpool treatments and ministers to
numerous conditions. Overall, therapeutic massage
enhances medical treatment and helps people feel
less anxious and stressed, relaxed yet more alert.
Until recently, these treatments were used individual-
ly. Now, AquaMED has incorporated medical and
computer technology into a system that combines
hydrotherapy, massage, and whirlpool and heat ther-
apy into one, easy-to-use modality. The combined
benefits of AquaMED sessions create a synergy
effect whereby the overall results exceed those pro-
duced by each of these therapies separately.
What is AquaMED®
Dry Hydrotherapy?
Aaahhh...The AquaMED®
experience
AquaMED is a completely self-contained hydrother-
apy table that allows the patient to remain dry and
fully dressed while receiving a controllable, heated,
water-jet massage treatment. Users are often
relieved to learn that there is no need to disrobe and
that they will not be left in the hands of a stranger.
Further, they do not experience “pruning” from
remaining in water for long periods of time or have to
worry about exposure to bacteria that can gather in
whirlpools. While everyone’s experience may be dif-
ferent, everyone shares the same opinion after-
ward... they feel “fantastic.”
How Can AquaMED®
Dry Hydrotherapy Help Me?
Whether you are suffering from pain or feeling
stressed, AquaMED dry hydrotherapy provides relief.
A simple 15- to 20- minute session can be as beneficial
as a one-hour massage in increasing circulation,
reducing pain, and relieving stress. Plus, the wide
range of pressure available with AquaMED ensures
users get much more than just a “surface” massage.
AquaMED dry hydrotherapy sessions affect all sys-
tems of the body. Excellent results have been reported
by healthcare professionals in relieving pain associat-
ed with fibromyalgia, arthritis, headaches, insomnia,
stress, TMJ, chronic pain, muscle spasms, and sports-
related sprains and strains.
How Will I Feel After a Session?
In a word – great! AquaMED dry hydrotherapy ses-
sions can have either a sedative or stimulatory effect
depending on the type and length of treatment given.
Longer sessions tend to have a more sedative effect
while shorter sessions are generally more stimulating.
