Improving Your Health with Spa Hydrotherapy
Could your health and wellness stand to benefit from the healing power of hydrotherapy?

These healing effects can lead you toward better health and wellness.
Disclaimer: Consult a physician to ensure your best health before using a hot tub to improve or treat an existing health condition or injury.
Aches and Pains
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, while massaging from the jets works to ease joint pain and reduce muscle tension.
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.
Trouble Sleeping
Do you have poor sleep patterns? Soaking in a hot tub can help to prepare you for a full and uninterrupted night of sleep through relaxation and stress relief. Simply add 20-30 minutes of hydrotherapy to your day or bedtime routine.
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.
