Dry hydrotherapy is a relatively new type of massage that takes the hydrotherapy massage concept to the next level. Users float on a bed of water, and are separated and kept dry from the heated water by a thin membrane. High volume and high pressure water jets then massage the person. The thin membrane separating the user from the water means that they don’t get wet or even have to disrobe. Although many people enjoy having a traditional massage, there are a significant number of people also out there who avoid this, but are more than happy to have a full body massage without strangers touching them. These reasons alone increase the potential client base significantly for dry hydrotherapy massage providers.

A significant challenge for non destination businesses such as fitness centres, tanning centres, day spas, and beauty salons, is to tap into this major market without huge investments into capital equipment, wet room fit outs, and staffing. The latest advance in this market are self-contained dry hydrotherapy massage beds.

The closed circulation system in a dry hydrotherapy bed means a business centre can easily bring hydrotherapy massage into their additional services menu. Similar in size to a sun bed, but without the enclosing lid, the location simply needs a small treatment room to be able to offer hydrotherapy. A hand controller allows the user to choose deep tissue pin point massages, or soothing relaxation sessions with music and aromatherapy. No additional staffing, or even water connections are required.
