Summer Place - the leading provider of hydrotherapy products

The mystique of water has long since captured the imagination of many, from philosophers and medical doctors to the general public. One of the most incredible hydrotherapy inventions of our time, the jacuzzi, was invented to ease the pain of the investor’s son.

The Jacuzzi brothers hail from Italy where they used their skills to first build airplanes but after a family tragedy they started making hydraulic pumps.

However, Candido Jacuzzi had a son who suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis. Part of the treatment for his son, Kenneth Jacuzzi, was regular hydrotherapy sessions. However, between sessions the young boy was crippled with pain. Candido realised that the pumps the Jacuzzi brothers were making could be adapted to make a whirlpool water treatments to soothe the pain for Kenneth.

Jacuzzis were originally marketed as health aids and sold in pharmacies and bath supply stores. However, after Hollywood stars like Jane Mansfield proclaimed how she has benefitted from this hydrotherapy wonder, their worldwide allure and fame shot up.

Summer Place Spas & Baths is a proud supplier of some of the highest quality hydrotherapy saunas and tubs in South Africa. Summer Place has been supplying the commercial and private market with their high quality products since 1968.

Because of the adjustable jets on most models the baths and tubs can be individually altered to provide for your specific requirements. These products can be used successfully for a range of aches, pains and diseases. Many athletes want to relax their muscles after a strenuous session and the volcano, shiatsu massage jets, rotating jets and the cloud burst jets have specific functions and will add much needed relief to sore muscles.

The highly skilled staff at Summer Place will be able to tell you which jets and bath would be most suited to your needs. It is recommended however that you consult with an occupational therapist or physiotherapist beforehand to ensure that you have the correct product if you are purchasing a Summer Place spa or bath to provide hydrotherapy for a loved one with a disease or disability.
