Dornbracht's Aquapressure describes the specific massage of pressure points, tense muscles or tendons by the pressure of water. This new approach was developed by Dornbracht, and takes up the principles of acupressure.
This is a tried and tested method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), specifically for easing blockages and imbalance.
In acupressure, there is a manual stimulus by the fingertips, the ball of the thumb or the elbows, for example, whereas the effect of aquapressure is due to the pressure of the water.
This has the advantage that it can also be used independently at home, at any time. With special Dornbracht WATER FAN and WATER CURVE jets, it is possible to specifically direct the flow of water onto certain parts of he body.
Depending on the intensity of the pressure exerted, this can have a calming effect (firm pressure), an activating effect (lower pressure) or a balancing effect (alternating pressure).
Along with the intensity of the pressure, there are other aspects that are important for the effectiveness of aquapressure, such as the duration and location of the stimulation (e.g. neck or spine) and the temperature of the water, which are coordinated to each intended purpose.
