ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of improved water therapy in which a person is buoyantly supported in a reclining or prone position on a top membrane of a enclosure which contains heated water, and air. A water pump recirculates the water which is drawn out of the enclosure through outlets and associated piping and which is then reintroduced into the interior of the enclosure through venturi air intake as waterjets that are mixed with air. The air enriched waterjets drive through a layer of water and impinge on the underside of the top membrane to produce massage effects on the person. The air is captured inside the enclosure in a chamber or pocket which rises above the water level within the sealed enclosure and is drawn out of the interior enclosure to the air inlet waterjet venturi for recirculation of air throughout and within the sealed enclosure. To supercharge the venturi inlet waterjet system, with forced air, a separate air pump and control valve can be connected to venturi waterjet means manifold to introduce and control the amount of pressurized air entering the venturi inlet waterjet means to enhance the velocity of the air enriched waterjet system which is a separate mode of operation, from recirculating the venturi air waterjet from within the sealed enclosure through venturi means.
