Hydromassage valued for ages
The advantages of water treatments were already appreciated by the ancients. Romans, no matter what the stateof possession, they eagerly relaxed in the baths, which were not only a place for hygiene, but also for social meetings. Baths, showers and compresses have long been considered therapeutic. The fathers of medicine, Pythagoras and Hippocrates, recommended them to their patients.
In the nineteenth century, water treatment was popularized in Europe by the German priest Sebastian Kneipp, promoting a new lifestyle (knappism). It mainly consisted in changing the existing eating habits, practicing physical exercise, taking exercise, taking care of body hygiene, as well as emotional balance in contacts with other people. And all this to effectively prevent all diseases. Today, when defining such a lifestyle, the term - wellness is more and more often used.
Hydromassage - water and air
Hydromassage combines the advantages of traditional massage with the relaxing properties of a bath. Water pumped out of the nozzles under high pressure hits the muscles, causing them to relax, and this has a relaxing effect on the whole body.
Special devices for such procedures were constructed at the beginning of the 20th century. They were then equipped with a system of nozzles from which jets of cold or hot water flowed out under appropriate pressure. Modern nozzles used today allow you to combine water and air massage, which intensifies the beneficial properties of the treatment.
