Hydrotherm Massage – A Revolutionary Spa Experience

Hydrotherm massage is an innovative system that uses warm water-filled pads placed on top of a therapy couch, allowing your entire massage to be performed while you lie comfortably on your back. Developed by British sports and remedial therapist John Holman, Hydrotherm is recognized as the world’s first truly three-dimensional massage system. Your therapist will use this unique technique to slide their hands between you and the water pads, delivering a deeply soothing and effective massage.

Designed for Both Therapists and Clients

Originally developed to support massage therapists, Hydrotherm reduces the downward pressure that can strain their wrists, allowing them to use a more fluid and effortless “pulling” motion instead of pushing. Fortunately, this system isn’t just great for therapists—it also enhances the experience for clients. With no need to turn over or endure uncomfortable face holes, you can fully relax while enjoying the benefits of deep tissue massage without discomfort.

As with any massage, always inform your therapist in advance if you are pregnant, have a medical condition, or are undergoing treatment.

What to Expect from a Hydrotherm Massage

Hydrotherm is an excellent choice for those who:

• Cannot lie on their front due to pregnancy, mobility issues, or discomfort
• Prefer not to turn over mid-treatment
• Experience neck pain, lower back aches, or stiff muscles
• Seek deep relaxation without pressure on the spine

The warm-water pads (heated to 30-40°C) promote perfect spinal alignment, with slightly raised knees and hands positioned below the pads for optimal comfort. The gentle heat warms muscles, allowing for a more effective and soothing massage—without the need for additional pressure. And don’t worry—you won’t get wet; the water is securely sealed within the pads.

At the end of the session, your therapist will assist you into a seated position, ensuring a smooth and relaxed transition from the treatment.

A Unique, Floating Sensation

Many clients describe Hydrotherm massage as feeling like floating on water—a deeply calming and therapeutic experience. While the movement of the water pads may initially feel unfamiliar, simply relax and embrace the sensation for maximum benefit.

Final Thoughts: A Massage Like No Other

Hydrotherm is unlike traditional massage—expect the unexpected! The warm, fluid motion of the pads, combined with the therapist’s skillful technique, creates a one-of-a-kind experience that is both comforting and highly effective. Whether you’re looking for relief from tension, an alternative to conventional massage, or pure relaxation, Hydrotherm offers a truly unique way to unwind.
