ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic bath or spa that includes providing aerated streams of water that are injected under pressure into desired areas of the bath receptacle, and a variably positionable occupant support device that can be moved to any desired position relative to the aerated pressure streams to obtain the desired occupant impact pressure and comfort. The spa receptacle includes air and water chambers in tandem integrally formed in a manifold that is coupled around the exterior of the spa receptacle shell, with apertures disposed through the shell and the manifold at desired locations to provide aerated streams of water around the spa. The apertures are repositionable. The periphery of the receptacle shell includes a vertical groove or spaced holes on or near its exterior edge that may encompass the entire receptacle or sections thereof. The occupant support described above may include a resilient, horizontally disposed support and anchor hooks or pins and lines which are fixed to each end of the support for connection into the peripheral groove or holes extending in or around the outside of the spa receptacle shell. The pins or hooks may be anchored at any desired location within the groove or holes thus allowing for alignment and positioning of the occupant support in any direction relative to the inside of the spa and the water jet array within the spa receptacle.
