Underwater Vacuum Massage

The analgesic and relaxing effect of warm water makes it possible to influence deeply located groups of muscles
The basic principle is the local vacuum effect on soft tissues in a warm bath with fresh water
It improves transcapillary metabolism and blood circulation in the muscles, and increases the intensity of the metabolism in the underlying tissues
It reduces active vascular tone and hemodynamic resistance
Aqueous medium enhances and transforms the effect of massage techniques on the body
A combination of the mechanical effect of vacuum massage with the thermal and hydrostatic effect of the water increases the effectiveness of treatment
