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 Spas and baths 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 spas
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. |
