The Art of Wellbeing - Create Your Customised Home Spa

Caring for our ‘wellbeing’ has become a lifestyle priority and attaining a better psychophysical balance has never been easier with the wide range of hydromassage and spa products now available.

However, it is not just this millennium that has responded to the need to nurture the harmony of body and mind; from Roman thermal baths to Japanese sentous and today’s Finnish saunas, our pursuit of the ultimate soothing spa experience spans the centuries.

Develop, boost and maintain your sense of wellbeing by investing in a home spa or whirlpool system: hydromassage, a combination of heat, massage and the relaxing sensation of weightlessness will sooth muscles and joints. Soaking in hot, swirling water leaves you feeling both mentally and emotionally relaxed and a hydromassage soak before bedtime will ensure you drift into a deep sleep.

A spa is an investment and something you’ll want to experience every day, the ultimate feeling of wellbeing in your own home.


Healing

The soothing solution to everyday aches and pains that so many people suffer, hydromassage is a proven natural remedy and is created by sending a mixture of warm water and air through jet nozzles. This healing power of this ‘energised’ water relaxes and tones tight muscles. Regular use of your home spa will greatly improve your health by stimulating the elimination of toxins and thus cleansing and purifying the body.


Rejuvenating

Hydromassage is rejuvenating as well as relaxing; just 15 minutes in the morning can give you a fresh start to the day. Immersion in hot water raises the body temperature whereby blood vessels dilate improving circulation and boosting energy levels, improving performance at work and at the gym! And if you prefer the power of a shower then choose a shower cabin with vertical hydromassage, programmed to deliver the duration, intensity and frequency to kick-start your day.


wellnessRelaxing

When the time comes at the end of the day, to recover your sense of wellbeing, regenerate your mind and body we all crave a warm, relaxing and healing environment to be gentle on the eye as well as the body. In your home spa choose soft colours and lighting, large warm towels, scented candles and gentle music to transport you to another place. A hydromassage and steam cabin will massage your back with its ‘back rain’ jets which stimulate the muscles of the back and neck in just a few minutes. Enjoy the benefits of Steam Bath in your cabin, perspiration generated will remove lactic and uric acid and toxins from the body and prevents infectious diseases as it boosts the immune system.

For the ultimate, truly relaxing, experience sit back comfortably in your hydromassage cabin and let the continuous waterfall shower relax and then stimulate your body ready for another day.


The Power of Colour

Radiating at a specific wavelength, the healing Chromotherapy colour therapy in hydromassage shower cabins, benefits the wellbeing of the nervous, immune and metabolic systems which has now been proven through extensive scientific research. It was the Chinese, thousands of years ago, who dressed ill people in specific colours and then Indian Ayurvedic medicine that associated healing therapies to the action of a corresponding colour. Closer to home, the ancient Greeks treated various diseases with ‘heliotherapy’ exposing the body to direct sunlight.
