Hot Tubs and Swim Spas: Experience The Miracle of Hydrotherapy

Most people associate hot tubs with luxury and relaxation. Hot tubs are, no doubt, both luxurious and relaxing. But did you know that hot tubs, as well as swim spas, are also healing machines?

Hydrotherapy is defined as “the use of water to treat a disease or to maintain health.”

People don’t get out of hot tubs and swim spas the same way they got in. Hydrotherapy can soothe and repair people who have arthritis, who are recovering from a sports injury, who exercise strenuously or who have physically demanding jobs.

In hot tubs, warm water opens blood vessels, improves circulation and engulfs the entire body in therapeutic heat, unlike radiant heat, which can actually make sore muscles worse. Powerful jets massage and loosen muscles. Hot tubs also offer meditative qualities, which reduces stress and improves cognitive function.

Swim spas take it even further. It’s no secret that swimming is good for the bod. Have you seen a swimmer lately? They look like they’re chiseled out of granite.

Take Michael Phelps, for example. Only a handful of mammals on Earth know more about swimming than Michael Phelps, and they all have blowholes. Phelps has endorsed his own signature series of swim spas that will make you feel and look better quickly.

That’s because swimming is a full-body, no impact workout that improves endurance, strengthens muscles, promotes flexibility and posture while helping swimmers maintain a healthy bodyweight.

You can do all that in a little rectangle in your backyard that’s far cheaper and easier to maintain than a full pool.

Hydrotherapy isn’t magic, but it’s pretty close. You get into a warm, relaxing, massaging, healing machine, and you come out better.
