1. An apparatus for dry hydro-therapy body massage of a user, comprising:
a housing structure having a housing shell and a user support surface for supporting the user in a reclined position, the housing shell including a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls extending upwardly therefrom, wherein the user support surface is secured to an upper perimeter of the side walls, thereby defining an interior chamber; and
a vapor circulating system including a body defining an interior chamber, wherein the interior chambers of the housing structure and the vapor circulating system are in fluid communication with each other via piping, and the interior chambers of the housing structure and the vapor circulating system form a closed system that collects air from the interior chamber of the housing structure into the interior chamber of the body and subsequently returns the air from the interior chamber of the body into the interior chamber of the housing structure,
wherein the interior chamber of the housing structure is configured to be partially filled with a volume of a liquid and the piping extends from a portion of the sidewall of the housing shell disposed above the volume of the liquid to the body of the vapor circulating system.
