PHA Aqua/Hydro Massage Therapy

The P.H.A. Aqua/Hydro Massage Therapy Studio is located in the P.H.A. Health, Wellness and Fitness Centers, 3450 Winton Place. It is Rochester’s most upscale health, wellness and fitness facility. We are open to the public. Non Members Welcome.

What is Aqua/Hydro Therapy? It is massage therapy (manipulation of muscle & soft tissue to help reduce stress, spasm, pain and discomfort) without the usual inconvenience, time or expense.

The user remains fully clothed and dry - A water proof sheet conforms to the user, allowing a full surface massage on three sides of the body. There is no need to shower after due to the fact that no oils or lotions are used. The Personal Touch - The user controls the water pressure, pulse rate and travel speed of the 36 jets for personal comfort of a full body or localized massage.

Aqua Massage is for Everyone – You can enjoy the benefits of a massage without the usual inconvenience, time or expense. In only 10 to 15 minutes you can feel refreshed and relaxed. It is perfect for any busy schedule.

In today’s society, stress is a major factor to be considered when evaluating an injury/ailment. Aqua/Hydro Therapy is an excellent stress management technique: not only can it untie physical knots, it can also clear your head and release the tension/stress often associated with daily activities.
