Hydromassage Therapy in Olathe
At Woodroof Chiropractic & Acupuncture in South Olathe—near 151st Street and the 151st & Ridgeview / Garmin area—hydromassage therapy is one of the easiest ways to relax tight muscles and support your chiropractic care. We often pair hydromassage with chiropractic adjustments and spinal/vertebral decompression to help patients across Olathe and Johnson County recover faster and feel better between visits.
Hydromassage uses warm, pressurized water jets beneath a waterproof barrier to relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation while you stay fully clothed and dry. It’s a fast, comfortable way to support your chiropractic and decompression treatments.

What Is Hydromassage?
Hydromassage is a non-invasive therapy that uses powerful water jets inside a specialized bed to provide a deep, consistent massage—without getting wet or needing to change clothes. Unlike traditional table massage, the pressure can be precisely controlled and targeted to the areas that need it most, making it ideal for patients with neck pain, mid-back pain, low back pain, headaches, or disc-related tension.
At our Olathe chiropractic office, we use hydromassage to complement chiropractic care, spinal/vertebral decompression, and your personalized exercise and stretch routine.
Common Problems Hydromassage Helps
Hydromassage is especially helpful if you’re dealing with:
- Chronic muscle tightness in the neck, shoulders, or low back
- Discomfort after long periods of sitting or driving
- Protective muscle spasms around irritated joints or discs
- Tension associated with neck pain, mid-back pain, or low back pain
- Stress-related stiffness that makes it hard to relax at the end of the day
Patients often report feeling looser, lighter, and more relaxed after their first hydromassage session—especially when we pair it with chiropractic adjustments or decompression.
How Hydromassage Supports Your Chiropractic Care
Hydromassage isn’t a replacement for chiropractic adjustments—it’s designed to make your overall treatment more effective. At Woodroof Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we use hydromassage to:
- Improve circulation: Better blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to irritated muscles and discs, supporting healing and recovery.
- Reduce inflammation and muscle guarding: The gentle, rhythmic pressure helps calm overactive muscles that are “guarding” painful joints or discs, which is especially helpful for disc bulges and sciatica that we treat with spinal/vertebral decompression.
- Enhance flexibility and range of motion: Relaxed muscles allow your spine to respond more effectively to chiropractic adjustments.
- Make care more comfortable: Many patients find that hydromassage before or after treatment helps reduce soreness and make their visits feel more relaxing overall.
By addressing muscle tension along with joint motion and disc pressure, hydromassage fits naturally into our comprehensive, evidence-based approach to care.
What to Expect During Your Hydromassage Session
Most sessions last around 10 minutes, but we adjust the time and intensity based on your condition and treatment plan.
During your visit:
- A team member will help you get comfortable on the hydromassage bed.
- You stay fully clothed and completely dry—the water jets operate beneath a soft, waterproof barrier.
- The jets move along your body in a controlled, therapeutic pattern, focusing on areas like the neck, mid-back, and low back.
- You can simply relax while the system works to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation.
- Afterward, you’ll go straight into your adjustment or decompression treatment, so your muscles and joints are already primed for care.
We review your health history and current symptoms at your initial exam to determine when and how hydromassage fits best into your plan.
Is Hydromassage Right for You?
Hydromassage is safe and well-tolerated for most patients at our Olathe clinic. It may be a good fit if you:
- Have muscle tightness linked to disc bulges or sciatica
- Experience stiffness from long workdays at a desk or frequent driving
- Want a relaxing, low-effort way to support your recovery between visits
- Prefer staying fully clothed and dry rather than traditional massage
For patients with more complex conditions—such as disc herniations, advanced arthritis, or post-surgical cases—we’ll discuss how hydromassage fits into your overall plan or whether we need to modify your settings.

Hydromassage FAQ
What does a hydromassage bed do?
A hydromassage bed uses warm, pressurized water jets beneath a soft waterproof barrier to relax tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation—without getting wet. It’s an effective complement to chiropractic adjustments.
Does hydromassage help with back or neck pain?
Yes. Hydromassage is particularly helpful for muscle tension, trigger points, postural tightness, and stress-related stiffness in the neck and low back tightness. Many patients experience noticeable relief after just one session.
How long is a hydromassage session?
Most sessions last 10 minutes, but timing can be adjusted based on your condition, comfort, and your treatment plan at Woodroof Chiropractic & Acupuncture.
Do I need to change clothes for hydromassage?
No. Hydromassage is completely dry. You relax fully clothed on the bed while the water jets work through the barrier below you.
Is hydromassage safe if I have a disc bulge or sciatica?
Yes—when used properly. Hydromassage helps relax the protective muscle guarding that often accompanies disc and nerve irritation. For disc bulges, your doctor will typically pair hydromassage with spinal/vertebral decompression for best results.
Does hydromassage replace chiropractic adjustments?
No. Hydromassage supports your chiropractic care by relaxing muscles and reducing tension—but it doesn’t restore joint motion the way an adjustment does. Most patients get the best results combining both.
How often should I get hydromassage?
This varies by condition. Patients treating pain or muscle tension often benefit from 2–3 sessions per week, while maintenance patients may use it weekly or as needed.
