Improving Your Health with Spa Hydrotherapy

Disclaimer: Consult a physician to ensure your best health before using a hot tub to improve or treat an existing health condition or injury.
Relaxation
The buoyancy of the water lifts up to 90% of your body weight, creating a feeling of weightlessness. The warm water further helps your body to relax, both physically and emotionally. Enjoy an improved mood, less stress and more with regular relaxation!
Getting Sick
Soaking in warm water raises your internal temperature, acting as an artificial fever. This process tricks your body into thinking that it needs to create antibodies to fight off an infection or virus, in turn strengthening your immune system.
Post-Injury Recovery
Did you know that spending time inside of a hot tub can promote healing? In fact, hydrotherapy is often used for athletes and those recovering from surgery or injury, as it creates a weightless and soothing environment, perfect for low-impact activity.
Feeling Stressed
Stress can manifest in both a physical and emotional way through feeling overwhelmed, exhaustion or overexerting your body. Soaking in a hot tub can help you to relax and let go of built-up tension, leading to the gradual release of your stress.
Muscle Tension
Tense muscles can result in feelings of physical discomfort. The temperature of the water can help your body to relax, which is the first step when it comes to reducing muscle tension. From there, the jets will massage some of the most stress-prone areas of your body.
Joint Pain
Whether arthritis or fibromyalgia, painful joints can affect your quality of life. The buoyancy of the water can help lift weight from your body, allowing your joints to finally relax and move freely without added pressure. This comfortable environment is great for low-impact exercise and stretches.
Sleeplessness
Calm your mind, relax your body simultaneously and prepare your body for sleep. Combined with reduced tension and soothed joint pain, spending time in your hot tub can even make it easier for you to get comfortable and fall asleep once you hit the sheets.
Stress
By spending time soaking in the hot tub regularly, you can clear your mind and allow yourself to relax. This relaxation can help you feel better both physically and emotionally. Carve some time out for yourself to soak in the peace and quiet of your hot tub installation.

How a Hot Tub Can Aid in Fitness and Recovery
Hydrotherapy can also be of use to those who are recovering following a physical injury.

This process can ease feelings of both pain and anxiety, all while helping blood and oxygen reach the affected area. The buoyancy and heat of the water can also help to provide a much more comfortable environment to relax in, helping improve balance, flexibility and overall mobility.
