A foot spa tub includes a tub basin, a first magnetic drive member rotatably coupled to a drive motor, and a first casing supporting the magnetic drive member. The first casing is disposed against an exterior surface of a sidewall of the basin. A second magnetic drive member is rotatably coupled to a blade. The first and second magnetic drive members are magnetically coupled to each other so that the blade is drivingly coupled to the drive motor. A nozzle houses the second magnetic drive member and the blade. The nozzle is detachably securable to an interior surface of the sidewall by a magnetic attraction force between the first and second magnetic drive members. A method of circulating liquid in a foot tub spa is also provided.

A shower mat is configured to carry an auxiliary shower spray head to deliver a spray vertically upwards to allow the user to clean their lower body and extremities. The mat may include a plurality of layers with the auxiliary shower spray head carried between the plurality of layers. Tubing interconnects the auxiliary spray head to a diverter valve that is connected to a stem of a shower enclosure.

A liner for use with a basin to contain a liquid features two bodies of flexible plastic which are joined at adjacent faces of the distinct plastic bodies so as to form an interface of the plastic bodies. The liner includes an air conduit adapted for guiding pressurized air substantially within the thickness of the bag from an air discharge apparatus, which generates the pressurized air, to the interior of the liner. A length of the air conduit is formed at the interface of the plastic bodies such that a circumferential wall of the length of the air conduit is defined in part by an inner face of each plastic body. The plastic body of the liner that is arranged to contact an inside face of the basin is substantially imperforate so as to isolate the liner interior, where the liquid is received, from the basin.

Disclosed is a disposable for use with a surface that defines a basin for receiving liquid. The disposable has a pair of surfaces spaced apart from one another by a tubular sidewall. One of the pair of surfaces is positioned, in use, against the basin-defining surface. In use, gas issues through the sidewall in the form of bubbles. The disposable is useful in association with foot spas and the like. A mechanism for puncturing a liner is also disclosed.

The present application is directed to a portable sink that may be used as a pedicure sink usable alone or as part of a pedicure spa or other furniture. The pedicure sink includes a basin and a surface extending out from the basin that is operationally configured to support feet thereon and capture fluid and direct fluid into the basin.

A spa is provided that includes: a basin; a motor having a shaft defining a rotation axis; a hub mounted to the shaft, the hub having North and South pole domains spaced apart from each other and arranged to encircle the rotation axis in alternating relation; and an impeller which is disposed in the basin in axially spaced relation to the hub and is at least substantially constrained against movement but for rotation about the axis, the impeller including a rotor body of a non-magnetic, electrically-conductive material having relatively low magnetic permeability. The improvement in which is that there are lights and coils coupled to the impeller for rotation therewith, the lights and coils being coupled and adapted such that, in use, the rotating magnetic fields associated with the drive hub created induced currents in the coils which actuate the lights and create a net force that rotates the impeller.

An acupressure apparatus includes a tub configured to receive the user's feet for acupressure treatment, an acupressure station having a pair of designated foot placing areas for facilitating accurate positioning of the feet on the acupressure station, a plurality of upward projections formed on an upper surface of the acupressure station, and a plurality of watering holes formed around the projections, and a water supply conduit connected to the bottom wall of the tub for supplying compressed water by operation of a water pump. The watering holes formed in the acupressure station are directed to acupressure points of the feet such that the compressed water delivered through the watering holes provides acupressure stimulations to the acupressure points of the feet.

A soaking basin is provided having a magnetic jet assembly positioned to provide a therapeutic liquid circulation within the basin. The magnetic jet includes an impeller assembly and a drive assembly. The impeller assembly operatively coupled to the magnetic drive assembly only via magnetic attraction, such that a basin wall and a disposable liner are disposed between the impeller assembly and the magnetic drive assembly.

Systems and methods for improving or preventing a condition, such as the treatment of pain syndromes and migraine headaches are disclosed. A method for treating pain can include one or more of the steps including identifying a region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue; positioning the region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue into an enclosed chamber; adjusting the relative humidity of the enclosed chamber sufficient to create a physiologic effect. The method need not involve altering the temperature within the enclosed chamber.

A salon treatment assembly (10) for use by a user during a salon treatment, comprises a foot bath (16), a salon chair (14), and an adjuster assembly (20). The salon chair (14) supports the user during the salon treatment and is coupled to the foot bath (16). The salon chair (14) can have a chair body (31) including a seat support (28), and an arm rest (32A) that is movably coupled to the seat support (28). The adjuster assembly (20) selectively moves the arm rest (32A) relative to the seat support (28) such that the salon chair (14) is alternatively positioned in a closed configuration, wherein the arm rest (32A) is positioned directly adjacent to a forward portion (28A) of the seat support (28), and an open configuration, wherein the arm rest (32A) is not positioned directly adjacent to the forward portion (28A) of the seat support (28).
