[origin: WO2006101820A1] A bath apparatus is disclosed having auxiliary features, such as a handle, improvements to conventional therapeutic effects, a pedicure apparatus for providing a motorized rotary pedicure effect to the user, and a fluid dispenser is disclosed for dispensing therapeutic additives. A bath apparatus is disclosed with a showerhead mounted to an underside of a lid, oriented towards the bath chamber. A fluid pump draws fluid from the bath chamber and pumps the fluid through the showerhead for providing a pressurized fluid massage effect upon the body part. A bath therapy apparatus is disclosed having a sound dampened fan assembly for forcing air into a bath chamber for providing a bubbling massage effect. A sound level measurement of the fan assembly under predefined conditions is less than that of the bubbling massage effect.
