Richard Eidson
Owner of Innovative Spa Technologies
Thank you for visiting our website. My name
is Richard Eidson, and I am the owner of Innovative Spa Technologies and
the inventor of the Integrated Spa System
and other hydrotherapy equipment. Hydrotherapy equipment is an essential
component of any hydrotherapy treatment and it is important to understand
what went into the development of a specific type of hydrotherapy
equipment. The better design of a hydrotherapy equipment system, the
better will be the health & wellness transformations that can be
achieved using that equipment. 
The following is brief resume of relevant
life experiences which I use in the deveopment of hydrotherapy equipment as
well as treatments that can be done using the equipment.
Relevant life experiences & education
- Inventor of Hydrotherapy Equipment - 3
patents
- Hydrotherapy Educator
- Author of Hydrotherapy Textbook for
Milady Publishing to be available in June, 2008
- Hydrotherapy Therapist (LMT)
- B.A. Social-Psychology, University of
Nevada
- M.B.A. Maharishi University of
Management, Fairfield, Iowa
- Extensive traveling and hydrotherapy research in USA,
Canada, Europe, Asia and Middle-East Personal
Travel Website
All of the above life experiences were used
in the writing of a textbook on hydrotherapy to be published by Milady
Publishing in June, 2008. The textbook includes not only education on
treatments, but a new paradigm of anatomy & physiology of the human
body from the perspective of the body as a dynamic cellular, fluid system. It also
includes detailed knowledge of the behavior of water, the hydrosphere,
history and future of hydrotherapy. The textbook looks at the psychology
of hydrotherapy treatments in terms of balancing the autonomic nervous
system through the unique and deep relaxation produced by water
treatments. It also presents relevant information on the marketing and
business aspects of hydrotherapy programs.
The above experiences and knowledge go
into the development of our hydrotherapy equipment. Hydrotherapy equipment
should be designed to be in harmony with the structure and functioning of
the human body. Hydrotherapy equipment should be as comfortable as
possible to allow the maximum benefits and relaxation from any treatment.
The equipment should also be designed to give a therapist access to the
client to allow maximum therapist-client interaction. When possible, the
hydrotherapy equipment should be multipurpose, to give a therapist as many
transformational tools to use as possible and also to allow for more
treatments to be done using the equipment. This can produce not only a
better quality and a greater variety of treatments, but also increases the
potential profitability of the treatment room and equipment.
Also, hydrotherapy equipment should come
with quality education on a variety of treatments that can be done using
the equipment system. Hydrotherapy equipment is just one element of a
hydrotherapy treatment, and any hydrotherapy equipment system must also
included education on different treatments that can be done using the
equipment. Also of value are suggestions on how to
integrate specific hydrotherapy treatments into a combination of other
treatments, as well as programs of a series of treatments over an extended
period of time. Also helpful is support for promoting and marketing
hydrotherapy treatments done using the any hydrotherapy equipment systems.
In my travels researching hydrotherapy,
both in North America and internationally, I have been able to observe and
experience the powerful transforming ability of water in natural settings and
also learn from some of the great hydrotherapy traditions in other
countries. For example, when visiting Vichy, France, it is possible to
study their total approach to hydrotherapy, including what type of
hydrotherapy equipment they use. Also, by doing onsite education on
hydrotherapy treatments for the Integrated Spa
System, mainly in the USA & Canada, it has been
possible to better understand how hydrotherapy can be integrated into small to mid-size facilities and also what special challenges they
face in including hydrotherapy programs. The knowledge gained from all
these experiences has gone into the development of the
Integrated Spa System.
The following is a summary of what is
included with the Integrated Spa System.
The Integrated Spa System is the hydrotherapy equipment system that is featured in this website.
Integrated Spa System
- Multipurpose Hydrotherapy Equipment:
Massage/Wet-Table, Steam Therapy, Vichy Shower, Handheld Shower
- Special Feature: System does not require
a wet-room and any normal treatment with access to water can be used.
- Unlimited phone support for installation
and training on the use of the Integrated Spa System
- Consulting on the design of treatment
programs using the Integrated Spa System,
including ideas on single treatments, combination (package) treatments
and programs of a series of treatments over an extended period of
time.
- Suggestions on promoting and marketing
hydrotherapy, including brochures and websites
- A copy of the hydrotherapy textbook when
it is available in Jan, 2008
