Hydro Massage Technology:
Focused Pressure, Deeper Recovery
Targeted underwater jet and massage hose systems that improve tissue quality, reduce pain, and speed recovery for every population you serve.
How Hydro Massage Technology Works
Targeted Massage Hose System
- 5 foot massage hose on every HydroWorx pool, 15 foot upgrade available for extended reach.
- Attaches directly to the resistance jet to focus the water stream
- Creates a deep, wide band of pressure that can be directed to specific muscle groups
Adjustable Pressure Control
- Dial in gentle to intense pressure based on patient tolerance
- Gradual progressions for sensitive or painful areas
- Supports both light flushing and deep tissue work in the same session
Deep Tissue & Myofascial Effects
- Penetrates through superficial tissue to reach deeper muscle layers
- Supports myofascial release and scar tissue mobilization
- Encourages improved circulation and oxygen delivery to treated areas
