A table shower is a type of spa shower where a patron lies down on a modified massage table equipped with a drain. The table shower is also commonly known as the Vichy shower, affusion shower, rain massage, or water massage. The showerheads are attached to an extended metal bar that is suspended above the table, and the patron is treated to a shower through a horizontal bar with multiple shower heads above them. The shower is typically offered as a hydrotherapy component during a body treatment at a massage parlor or spa. The table shower is a relaxing service that helps manage stress and has many potential health and cosmetic benefits. The Asian table shower is similar to and often called a Vichy shower, in which water is splashed over the body before a treatment to cleanse skin and open pores. The Asian table shower is often used with Japanese spa treatments such as akasuri (salt scrub) and the Korea spa treatment called the body scrub, in which the masseuse uses coarse mitts to rub away dead skin. The Asian table shower is often associated with massage parlors that also offer sex; therefore, it is important to be cautious and contact the spa directly to inquire about details of their services. Disposable undergarments may be worn during a table shower treatment.
