Types of massage

Types of massage provided in the design of the bath.

Vibromassage. Impact with the help of small vibrations of the bottom of the bath — more precisely, the surface with which the foot is in contact.

Spirit (jacuzzi). Impact due to air bubbles generated by special nozzles at the bottom of the bath.

Acupuncture (point). This massage technique involves applying strong pressure to specific points on the feet. It's important to mention that in our catalog, this function is exclusively listed for baths equipped with textured bottoms that provide comprehensive foot stimulation through characteristic protrusions. While some manufacturers may reference acupressure in relation to roller nozzles (as explained below), it's essential to recognize that this remains a distinct type of massage despite similar effects.

Roller nozzle. This massage is carried out using a specific attachment (as described below): the user typically uses their foot to "roll" the roller. It bears many similarities to the previously mentioned acupuncture technique, but instead of providing a simultaneous effect on the entire foot, it targets only a small area.

The wide range of massage types available in the bath offers a diverse set of options. It's important to be aware that not all models permit the use of each m...assage type individually. For instance, a spirit bath (jacuzzi) may only be activated in conjunction with vibration. Additionally, to choose the most suitable massage type, it's advisable to consult with an expert after determining the intended purpose of the bath purchase, whether it's for maintaining foot health, addressing skin concerns, achieving overall relaxation, or other specific goals.

Nozzles

Types of working attachments supplied with the massage bath.

Roller. The nozzle takes the shape of a compact horizontal drum with distinct raised features, resembling either "pimples" or rounded "spikes." During the massage, one should roll this drum with their foot, and these protrusions create a targeted sensation akin to acupuncture massage techniques (refer to "Types of massage"). The placement and quantity of these rollers can vary, with some models featuring a single central nozzle and others having one or two pairs of rollers at the base, providing one or two rollers for each leg.

Ball. Ball nozzles are called round-shaped nozzles with a convex surface and balls recessed into it, playing the role of massage protrusions. Unlike a roller one, the nozzle rotates not around a horizontal, but around a vertical axis, and the balls have a large area of contact with the skin and have a softer effect on the foot.

Pumice. Nozzle, the main working element of which is a piece of pumice stone. Due to its hardness and porous structure, pumice is well suited for removing rough skin on the feet.

Brush. The nozzle in the form of a brush does not apply to massage, but it is often used in pedicure.

In addition to those described above, other types of nozzles may also be included in the d...elivery of modern baths: loofah pads (they act like pumice, but softer), special sponges, etc.
