The original collaboration with Germany's Sebastian Kneipp Schule and Asian entrepreneurs have spawned a unique new spa franchise idea that many are buying into.

The spas center around hydrotherapy due to the therapeutic and hygienic properties of the SG-2000 spa machine. The machine was built for rugged, continued use day in and day out. It is the ideal wokhorse to get hydrotherapy off the ground and into a profitable business concept.

For the most part, the Asian spas are known as "Home Spas" as they are part retail, part showroom. The SG-2000 hydrotherapy goes for between $10-25 per spa, depending on location. In Malaysia, the spa is particularly strong as a business concept. Dozens of SG-2000 franchises of various names are springing up in Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, Johor Bahru and other cities.

The SG-2000 Spa machine is responsible for powering hundreds of small business spa franchises worldwide.

It appears that wherever the SG-2000 spa franchises spring up, the culture goes back to its roots by providing natural cures for ailments ranging from arthritis to relieving stress. The public clamors for effective, affordable, no-side effect natural cures to replace over-reliance on medications to get by every day. This fact is no different in Mayasia, Japan, Germany or the United States. In essence, what is being created is a return to the bath culture, which was a worldwide phenomenon for thousands of years until the age of synthetic meds, vaccinations, and showers supplanted the bath.

With the advent of the SG-2000 spa machine, the United States, which had only a brief bath culture in the 19th Century, is also destined to return to the bath as the primary means to health, wellness, beauty and longevity.

When that happens, expect to see Atlantispa bath houses as common as tanning salons are today. Be a pioneer in the US bath culture and inquire about an Atlantispa franchise today.
