WAI ZONE
WELCOME TO THE WAI ZONE –
WHERE WATER IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
The Wai Zone features water in its three states; gas - the steam room, liquid – the hydrotherapy
pool and rain forest shower, and solid - the ice room. Each of these water states offer unique
benefits when used either in isolation or when combined to form an integrated hydrotherapy
program.
WAI ZONE COMBINED HYDROTHERAPY PROGRAM Approximately 30 minutes
1. Rain shower 3 - 4 minutes (hot water)
2. Ice shower 1 - 2 minutes
3. Hydrotherapy pool (10 - 20 minutes)
4. Rain shower 2 minutes (cool water)
5. Steam room 10 - 15 minutes
6. Rain shower to finish
HYDROTHERAPY POOL AND RAIN FOREST SHOWER
Hydrotherapy improves blood circulation, including the circulation of our immune systems’ white
blood cells as increasing cellular metabolism. Enhanced circulation and increased endorphins
strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation, heal injured tissue, improve well-being and
energise the body. Hydrotherapy also supplies fresh nutrients and oxygen to injured tissue and
helps with the removal of toxins. Alternate application of temperature to injury accelerates
healing by improving blood vessel integrity and muscle tone. Massage jets within the hydrotherapy
pool can also be used to ease muscle pain, soothe aches, and stimulate circulation.
Alternate exposure to hot and cold water within the pool and rain forest shower is a core
component for hydrotherapy treatments. Please refer to the suggested routine for further
guidance and a combination treatment routine options.
HYDROTHERAPY PROGRAM:
1. Hydrotherapy pool (10 - 30 minutes)
2. Rain shower 2 minutes (cool water)
3. Hydrotherapy pool 10 - 20 minutes
4. Rain shower 2 minutes (cool water)
STEAM ROOM
ICE ROOM
A steam room helps to relax tense, stiff muscles. Spending time in a steam room can ease
tensions, headaches and make you feel loose, relaxed and limber. To stimulate greater relaxation,
steam rooms can also be combined with the use of essential oils. As the steam room raises your
body temperature and causes you to perspire, your immune system is reactivated. The increased
temperature (hyperthemia) destroys bacteria and toxins, flushing them out of the body through
perspiration. Please ensure you drink plenty of fluids before and after your time in the steam
room. Skip the steam room if you are feeling unwell at all.
To gain the benefits of cold-water therapy, begin with our rain shower in the ice room. Begin by
wetting your feet. Next, use ladle to expose your hands and face to the ice-water. Finally, step
under the shower jets for full emersion. Let the cold jets run over your scalp & face, the front of
your body and then down your back. You can begin with a shower that lasts only a couple of
seconds.
Finally, remember that you don’t need to stay in the steam room a long time to experience its
benefits. While approximately ten to fifteen minutes is the ideal, pay attention to the signals your
body sends. If you’re uncomfortable and desperate for cool air, leave before the fifteen minutes
are up, you may need to slowly build up your tolerance.
STEAM ROOM PROGRAM:
1. Rain shower : 2 minutes (warm water)
2. Steam room : 5 - 15 minutes
3. Rain shower : 2 minutes
4. Steam room : 5 - 15 minutes
5. Rain shower to finish
ICE ROOM
Cold water stimulates the autonomic nervous system (which controls involuntary functions, such
as heartbeat and breathing) to raise blood pressure, increase heart rate and constrict blood
vessels. As the autonomic responses strengthen with each exposure, it stabilises blood pressure,
improves circulation and balances other bodily functions, such as the sleep/awake cycle. Ice room
treatment stimulates the body to release cytokines and endorphin hormones which fight pain and
enhance immunity levels. Cold water activates sensory nerves that lead to the brain. A cold,
exhilarating shower can be emotionally uplifting and prime a person to seize new experiences.
ICE ROOM PROGRAM:
1. Stand under the jets for 10 seconds (press red button)
2. Scoop water over your body with the ladle
3. Steam room (5 - 15 minutes)
4. Hydrate with water
