The active principle of Aquaroll®
Water, beads in movement... speeding-up results
An Aquaroll® massage is based on a simple principle: the feet, ankles, hands or wrists are immersed in a mixture of moving glass beads and water.
It is the conjunction of four elements which provides Aquaroll®'s innovative benefits:
- The liquid medium.
- The temperature of the liquid medium.
- The controlled, permanent pressure of the glass beads linked to the speed of movement.
- The constant, permanent percussion of the glass beads during the hand, foot or ankle massage.
By combining the hydromechanical action and reflexotherapy generated by the pressure of the moving beads and stimulation of the microcirculation, Aquaroll provides a dynamic massage of the reflexive zones of the feet and hands, generating intense relaxation.
The innovation consists in a unique combination of friction, percussion, kneading, exfoliation, pressure therapy and hydrotherapy, while providing effective cleansing between two users.
The concomitant action of these different techniques improves mechanical or neurogenic pain, suppleness and range of motion of joints, drainage of oedematous symptoms.
The bead mixing, flux and reflux of the liquid medium, pressure and percussion of the weight of beads on the dermis, epidermis, tissues, joints, muscles, ligaments or cartilage, all combine to provide a dynamic massage affecting the entire limb or joint concerned and to activate blood and lymph flow.

- Complex and defects
- Rheumatic
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Arthritis of the proximal and distal inter-phalangeal joints,
- Arthritis of the tumb joint
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Hallus valgus/rigidus
- Ledderhose’s disease/ Dupuytren’s contracture
- Peripheral and central neurological
- Carpal/tarsal tunnel syndrome
- Hyperalgic hands and feet
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Algodystrophy in the cooled phase : improvement of mobility
- MSDs :
- Excessive strain of joints
- Tendonitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Slim and drain heavy, swollen legs
- Sports recovery
How Aquaroll® works
The pressure exerted by the movement and density of the bead-liquid mixture squeezes the immersed limb, either partly or completely, creating a flux and reflux which promotes blood and lymph circulation. This intermittent pressure decongests and drains muscle masses both superficially and deeply, and resorbs swelling and œdema of the feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
30 000 glass beads in the water massage, contact, scrub the skin depending on the intensity and pressure controlled by the speed of movement. This contact provides many advantages: it leads to a distinct improvement of the scars in the skin's trophicity, its flexibility.
The flux and reflux of the bead-liquid mixture massages the skin and muscle layers to relax them. This kneading releases the tension in both superficial and deep muscle masses, ligamentary and tendinous structures, improving joint flexibilty.
The movement of beads and liquids micro-mobilizes cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues and all interposing structures as well as the muscular or tendinous region to be treated. The desired effect is to relax these structures and reduce local oedema and swelling. This also helps improve flexibility and the appearance of scars on the feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
Aquaroll® provides variable levels of compression on the superficial skin planes and underlying tissues, and it mobilizes the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues, working all the structures between these and the muscle or tendon region to be treated.
Finally, the temperature acts on the immersed member and, for example, heat relaxes the feet, ankles, hands and wrists, whereas a cold liquid stimulates the body, contracts vessels, reduces inflammation and tones the muscles.
Description
Aquaroll® bead massage systems include a removable tank, filled with glass beads and fresh water, set in motion by rotation while the feet, ankles, hands and wrists are immersed.
Aquaroll® works with mains electricity. Mounted on castors, it is easy to move. It was designed by an agency which specializes in shapes, ergonomics, colors and dimensions so that the equipment blends in well with most types of decor.
Removable tank containing 16 Kg of glass beads and 4 litres of water.
Control panel:
It is used to set the rotation speed to reduce or increase the massage speed, control the supply of hot or cold freshwater, seawater or spa water depending on the model.
Castors:
They make it easy to move the device to the required position. Built-in locking system.
Hot water supply and shower head:
it is used to fill with water at a set temperature and fast, practical drainage, for frequent use or as needed.
Specific equipment for seawater and spa water (Aquaroll® Thermer) including automatic filling and emptying with a specific corrosive water circuit.
Mains power supply:
Power consumption 2 Kw/h.
Dimensions:
Height 106 cm
Depth 103.5 cm
Width 69 cm
Aquaroll® was developed and is manufactured in France. It meets European standards and European health authority criteria, which are amongst the most demanding in terms of safety and health.
Aquaroll® systems are CE marked.
The Benefits of Aquaroll®
Aquaroll® provides:
- Improvement of mechanical or neurogic pain:
- combination of cutaneous and proprioceotive stimulation for desensitisation or pain relief
- before a treatment session, it allows more intensive work
- after treatment it alleviates pain, soothes, and give the patient e feeling of well-being
- comfort and well-being
- Improvement of suppleness, range of motion and scar tissue:
- Softening of tissues and a better range of motion for joints
- Flexibility of joints and movements
- Improvement of suppleness, and the cutaneous appearance of scars and local trophicity
- Drainage of oedematous symptoms:
- Activation of bllod microcirculation
- Acceleration of lymphatic flow
- Generation of vasoconstriction
Complementary to current rehabilitation and recovery protocols, Aquaroll® speeds up the benefits obtained using traditional physiotherapy techniques. Bead Hydromassage has a sedative effect on the skin, tissue, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and cartilages.
