Abstract
An apparatus and method for providing therapeutic bubbling massage of a person's body. The apparatus may be adapted to float on, for example, a pond, lake or pool. The apparatus may be formed of pressurized pneumatic tubing having an interior volume that is pressurized with air. The pneumatic tubing may form a frame allowing a user to sit, lie, recline or otherwise be disposed on upper surfaces of the pneumatic tubing. The weight of a user disposed on the upper surfaces of the pneumatic tubing may force a portion of the pneumatic tubing below the surface of the fluid in which the apparatus is floating, such that bubbles are formed when the pressurized gas is allowed to escape the pneumatic tubing through openings, impacting the body of the user. The gas may be heated or may be infused with an aroma.
