‘A complete, multi-sensorial experience’: Sammy Gharieni on innovation in hydrotherapy treatments
Hydrotherapy is having something of a resurgence at the moment, and Gharieni’s HydroSpa collection has completely reinvented the experience. Sammy Gharieni tells us more

What are the benefits of water therapies, and why are they such a key spa trend at the moment? Water therapy is an integral practice in traditional ancient medicine, with roots dating back to the Romans. The sacred method of rehabilitation has been used over centuries and is still highly valued in modern-day healing.
The healing power of hydrotherapy is recommended for both physical and emotional health, and today’s spa clients are looking for unique treatments that address both those things. Hydrotherapy can help with various aches and pains, arthritis, sore muscles, and poor circulation – and can also revitalise by reducing stress and stimulating blood flow. Water therapies can also create opportunities to socialise with friends and family, where groups can gather, relax and talk – just like in Roman times.
What experiences can spas offer with Gharieni’s HydroSpa collection? Cutting-edge in design, the HydroSpa collection creates a new water experience with products like the Libra Edge K or the PediSpa series. All items of the collection are designed for wet areas and incorporate high-tech elements such as chromo and sound therapies, steam encapsulation, and scented capsules in the equipment.
What are the benefits of the HydroSpa collection? The Libra Edge K reinvents the Vichy shower, taking it to the next level, where it is a complete, multi-sensorial experience that incorporates touch, sound, smell, vision and hearing. The integrated and interactive control panel provides a unique choreography of varying water temperatures and pressure, which is programmable or is preset for balancing, stimulating or relaxing effects while clients are in a relaxed supine position on a heated treatment table that is fully adjustable in height and length.
All treatments can be combined with salt scrubs, body masks or wraps. Its focus is to rinse different spa products gently off the body, inducing a soothing and relaxing effect, while simultaneously circulating the recently absorbed products through the system, enhancing the overall benefits.
Bringing a modern – even futuristic – vision to hydrotherapy is part of our mission to always be at the forefront of innovation.
Why is it important to create equipment that offers experiences? We strive to create an unparalleled and memorable experience for clients.
Taking wellness to the next level, we want to create a distinctive guest journey that integrates the mechanics of superior equipment with the practiced touch of the provider – and truly reflects the authenticity and messaging of each and every client’s brand identity.
Today, spa-goers are becoming increasingly sophisticated and demanding. Therefore, Gharieni continually strives to offer supreme comfort, as well as unexpected features that offer an element of surprise and delight, such as built-in sound or scent diffusers, vibro-massage, and much more.
