Hello all!
There is no sentence, as it is simply listed as one of the services offered at a hotel spa. I am not exactly sure what this "circuit" offers that distinguishes it from any other circuit.
Any ideas are most welcome and appreciated!
Many thanks in advance.

dynamic/stimulating hydrotherapy circuit
I know this is dodging the issue a bit but at least as a title in a brochure it's clear. I've checked places that have them and they talk about 'sensory stimulation'.
"As one of the only hydrotherapy pool circuits in the country, the six separate, invigorating chambers are designed to stimulate the entire body. Each separate chamber focuses on a certain group of muscles and joints and is designed to relieve tension and stress as well release the healing powers of the body. The temperature of the pools is set at a constant 84 degrees and the spa suggests that guests spend at least five minutes in each chamber - moving from one to the other - until they have experienced all six.
Each chamber contains a myriad of jets in various sizes, designed to stimulate the topical layer of the skin from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. After going through the circuit, the body is fully relaxed and a sensory stimulation has taken place which increases kinesthetic awareness. This is the perfect time to continue the healing with a massage or follow up a treatment with the hydrotherapy circuit. Hydrotherapy is known to improve ...

Note from asker:
| Thanks very much for your help with this one, Chriswa. Your suggestion was also very good. Just to be sure, I did end up checking with the client about what this "circuit" actually entailed. It was a hydrotherapy circuit with different temperature-controlled pools with jets, etc. Anyway, thanks again! ;-) |

: not a criticism, just that it sounds a bit awkward. I keep seeing 'sensory experience' in such contexts but it's hard to fit this with 'circuit'

Thanks, yes. It was the product of insomnia. What I did find out is that the word circuit, which I don't much like, is used a lot in the context. Maybe 'circuit of...'

a cycle of revitalization and pleasure of the senses.
This means that the course of the treatment follows a certain course where revitalization is followed by sensual enjoyment and back again to he revitalization or reinviration of the body, an alternation or rotation, so to speak.

| It would seem another perfectly plausible answer. However, this was indeed a hydrotherapy circuit. Thanks very much for your suggestion! ;-) |

: am almost sure it is an actual hydrotherapy circuit, which you move round being alternately pummelled or pampered
