Regular Hot-tub ‘Vacations’ Drown Out the Daily Grind

Our muscles tense up, our brains stress out, the day feels like it’s been dragging for hours and it’s barely 10 a.m. We all suffer from stress to some degree or another, but do we all have the option to indulge in the healing powers of swirling warm water and therapeutic jets in our own backyard? Probably not, but we should. For centuries man has known of the healing powers of warm water. Before the modern portable spa became such a trend, people enjoyed the relief of pain and tension offered by natural hot springs. It’s not a new concept, but the new technology around it is making it a popular one. The benefits one can enjoy from whirlpool water therapy are both physical and mental. A number of musculoskeletal ailments and injuries are treated with whirlpool therapy, from arthritis to sports injuries. The whirlpool improves circulation and a properly designed operating system will have jets powerful enough to have a massaging effect for the "garden-variety” sore muscles from which we all suffer from time to time. Those sore muscles often come from the stress of daily life, and therein lies the added effect of hot-water bathing. As you relax in the hot tub, you're working on the root cause of your problem — stress. When submerged in water your body is about 1/10 its normal weight. Buoyancy is a key element of relaxation and stress relief. It helps overcome the effects of gravity and relieves stress on the joints. Additionally, warm, swirling water reduces stress and allows you to rest and get a better night’s sleep. Experts recommend that people who suffer from sleeplessness soak in a spa at 100-104 degrees F for 15 minutes before bedtime. We usually have little to show for our vacations except a fading tan. But with a hot tub in your home or yard, you'll always have a vacation waiting when you need it most - at the end of every busy day. Your own personal daily 30-minute vacation. You'll feel the weight of the world slip from your shoulders as the swirling waters of your hot tub massage sore, aching muscles. If you've been putting off owning a hot tub, you're postponing one of life's great rewards: daily relaxation. A home hot tub is not a ‘feel good’ extravagance. It's a down-to-earth investment in renewed vigour and an overall sense of well-being. It’s simply wonderful therapy for mind and body. Hot tubs work their magic by circulating warm water and air through a system of high pressure jet nozzles to provide therapeutic muscle stimulation, relaxing the user. Today's technologically advanced models offer a wide array of specialized jetting systems, including: Clustered jets to massage specific groups of muscles simultaneously, such as the neck, shoulders, back or feet Jets that direct their stream in a moving pattern to provide progressive relaxation of a muscle group Air injection to add a tingling, bubbling, whole-body therapy Specialized massage inserts to put just the right amount of pressure on specific areas. just as a masseuse varies the manner in which muscles are manipulated. Physical and psychological benefits are immediate. No matter where your body shows the effects of stress, there's a hot -tub system that can melt the tension away. If you’ve decided that hot-tubbing is the key to your relaxation regimen, then you should consider the option of year-round hot-tub therapy. You work hard for your money, so spend it wisely. Ensure that the hot tub you are considering meets your needs. Ask the following questions: Is it well-built and energy-efficient? Is it properly insulated for indoors and out? Will moisture be a problem if the hot tub is moved indoors? Can it withstand winters outdoors? Is it portable?
