Hydrotherm massage is a form of water-supported massage delivered on warm, water-filled cushions.
It allows deep relaxation without pressure on the spine or joints.
Hydrotherm massage is designed to be deeply relaxing and accessible, particularly for people who find traditional massage positions uncomfortable. The warm water cushions provide support and gentle movement.
You lie on a specialised water-filled mattress while the practitioner delivers massage from above, often without the use of oils.
Discuss medical conditions, recent surgery or skin issues beforehand. If you have acute pain, fever or unexplained symptoms, seek medical advice.
