Benefits of Whirlpool Hydrotherapy
​
Welcome to Lotus Holistic Spa Wellness Consulting & Treatment Clinic - Where you can just sit back and soak in the tranquility of our whirlpool and essential oil aromatherapy. Let the jets massage your woes and strain away. Hydrotherapy, or warm water therapy in whirlpools, consists of three main healing ingredients; heat, buoyancy, and massage. This combination creates an experience that is both relaxing and healthy. Whirlpool hydrotherapy on a regular basis provides physical health benefits that go much deeper than just relaxation and pleasure. Water is so pure and simple, yet it can do the most amazing things. Whether you are experiencing joint or muscle pain, having trouble sleeping, or are just plain stressed out, spending time in a whirlpool can provide therapeutic benefits for just about anyone.
​
Stress, headaches and sleep - Did you know that warm water massage stimulates the body to release endorphins that reduce stress naturally? In addition to stress reduction, a whirlpool’s hydrotherapy jets also dilate blood vessels to help prevent headaches.
Muscles and joints - The hydrotherapy use of whirlpools impacts the skin and muscles. “Your skin and muscles loosen and relax from the increased blood circulation” adding that, if muscles are injured: “A soak in a hot tub or whirlpool will increase the blood flow to the injured area, bringing nutrients to help repair the damage.”
​
Arthritis - The Arthritis Foundation concluded that warm water hydrotherapy in a properly designed spa can help those with arthritis.
Diabetes - Whirlpool hydrotherapy can also help control diabetes. The use of a whirlpool lowers blood pressure and blood sugar level.
Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy and more - The muscle relaxing and joint loosening benefits of whirlpools help those with depression, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Tendonitis, Scoliosis and Bursitis. Whirlpools have even been known to provide significant help for those afflicted with diseases as serious as Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebral Palsy.
Overall, studies have shown that hydrotherapy have health benefits of immersion in warm water with massage jet action that include the relaxation of muscles, lowering of blood pressure, loosening of arthritic joints, as well as help with the control of blood sugar and body weight.

Benefits of Touch-Point Energy Healing Therapy and Energy-focused Body Work
​
The body is often overlooked as part of the energy system. Everything is energy, and this means that the body is energy, too. All bodywork has an impact on energy, but some kinds are intentional about it. Lomi lomi, Trager, shiatsu, and cranio-sacral therapy are examples of some that consciously work with subtle energy.
​
Like many forms of energy healing, it works with the body's energy field and chakras. Our practitioners use their hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields.
With this type of therapy, our practitioners focus on physical healing such as healing wounds and relieving pain. However, this form of therapy also aims to facilitate emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Like many forms of energy healing, it works to restore harmony and balance to its recipients' energy systems so that self-healing can take place. Touch-Point Energy Healing Therapy is based on "a heart-centered, caring relationship in which the practitioner and client come together energetically to facilitate the client's health and healing."
Benefits of Massage Chair Therapy
The massage chair was first introduced to the consumer market in the late 1980's. To emulate the motions and techniques of an actual masseuse, the goal of the massage chair was to relieve stress, tension, and alleviate back pain.
​
Although massage chairs were initially slow to catch on, after a decade or so, interest in the technology increased, spurring competitors to strive for the most effective models.
​
Massage Chair Therapy Techniques
The most effective massage techniques that massage chairs are designed to try to be like are that of Shiatsu and Swedish massage.
-
Shiatsu uses pressing, sweeping, patting, rolling, and rotating movements. The defining characteristic of Shiatsu is its focus on releasing tension in specific locations of the body.
Main Components of Massage Chairs
Most massage chairs are designed to involve three main components intended to closely match these massage techniques:
​​
-
Massage chair motors - these are the essential mechanical aspects of the massage chair. They power and move the nodes and rollers to the necessary areas, as well as allow the needed adjustments to the seat back. The massage chair has numerous preset patterns and programs used to massage the entire back. However, the motors, nodes, and rollers are meant to be modified through the control pad that accompanies all massage chairs. As the user specifies, the massage chair focuses on the top of the spine down through the lower back, with a tapping motion, rolling motion, or kneading motion.
-
Massage chair nodes and rollers - these vary in size and shape, designed to emulate fingers and hands. A massage chair with large rollers and nodes provides a more generalized approach at massaging, while massage chairs with smaller nodes and rollers provide the more detailed, point-specific massaging. They target specified areas of the user's back and can move in a variety of ways, which are pre-programmed into the mechanics of the massage chair. Again, the user can adjust these nodes and rollers on the massage chair to best fit his or her needs.
-
Computer assisted adjustability of the massage chair - This is perhaps the most essential factor. Almost all massage chairs are designed to automatically adjust for the weight, height, and width of the selected user. By measuring the pressure on the seatback, the height of the protrusion of the rollers and nodes adjusts. In addition, by locating specific areas on the anatomy of the back, the massage chair makes the necessary adjustments for the height and width of the user. Selecting various inputs on the control pad can also refine these options.
