ABSTRACT:
A water-massaging device provides fluid jet-like action against a body portion of an individual or animal. A flexible manifold peripherally borders a separate fluid channel. The manifold and the fluid channel each connect to a fluid source with respective flexible tubings such that the fluid inflates the device in a secured position about a particular body portion. The channel has arranged thereon a plurality of apertures facing the body portion such that the fluid flowing through the channel penetrates through the apertures to provide massaging and/or therapeutic benefits to the body. The device provides adjustable hot or cold stimulation of the body for increasing circulation or reduction of swelling as well as other therapeutic benefits. Furthermore, an adjustable fluid outlet of the manifold provides adjustable stiffness of the manifold against the body portion.
