The healing effect of water treatments has long been known. One of the most popular and most available methods of hydrotherapy is the circular shower, also known as the Swiss and needle. This unique type of hydromassage is used in resorts, in sanatoriums, SPA-salons and home conditions.
Design features
The material for the manufacture of the needle shower is high-grade stainless steel. Metal passes all the necessary certification and is intended for use in industry, medicine and life. The shower enclosure is a structure formed from vertical and arcuate horizontal pipes.The regulation of the water pressure is made using a lever located on the control panel. Some models are equipped with an additional rain head. Horizontal pipes are arranged in the shape of a semicircle with the ability to turn off the upper sector.
Thanks to this technical feature, it is possible to use the soul by people of small stature and children.
The principle of the Swiss shower is to supply water under pressure and a half atmosphere and its subsequent spraying through the thin holes of hollow tubes.

Reviews
Clients of SPA salons generally speak well of the circular shower. There is a surge of strength and increased vitality after its use, improved sleep and the beneficial effects of hydromassage on the skin. The advantages include a comfortable cost of the procedure and its availability. The disadvantage is the absence of a pronounced slimming effect and the presence of a large number of contraindications. But for the sake of justice, it is worth noting that the circular shower is only a component of a large complex of procedures and activities aimed at combating obesity, and as a panacea for it as an independent means is not effective.
