Top 10 Reasons To Own A Hot Tub

 Owning a hot tub can have many health benefits, and can actually prolong your life. One of the main reasons for these great health benefits is hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy has been around since the early Egyptian, and Roman empires. It is a form of physiotherapy, which involves the use of water for pain relief and treatment. So what are the top 10 reasons for owning a hot tub?

10. Pain Relief and Healing
Did you know that when you are feeling congested the hot steam rising off the water can help to open up nasal passages? Inhaling warm, moist air has been a remedy for upper respiratory problems for centuries. Also, the warm, swirling waters in a hot tub can aide recovery from minor injuries, aches and pains. Hydrotherapy can also be incorporated into a rehabilitation program after a more severe misfortune. Many people find that soaking in a hot tub relieves migraines, and pain from tension headaches. As your body relaxes, so do the muscles in your head.
9. Visual Appeal
Watch and listen as streams of water dance above your head, or a sheet of water cascades into the hot tub or over your shoulders. A spectacular variety of fountains help enhance the spa aesthetically and add an experience by adding a visual and auditory dimension. A patio or deck surrounding the hot tub offers generous opportunity to improve the look of your backyard oasis; patio furniture, gardens, fireplaces, additional water features are all great ways to enhance the look and feel of your .
8. Hydrotherapy and Massage
Better than a masseuse, hydrotherapy jets give the ultimate massage. Whether you are in the mood for a gentle touch or a more forceful massage most high end hot tubs offer adjustable flow jets allowing for the perfect massage for everyone. Tension always seems to settle in the neck and shoulder region, special jets surrounding the neck and shoulders provide pulsating, rhythmic relief allowing the built up tension to release itself from your body. Not only can you customize your massage, but some models allow you to swap jets of various sizes and water flow so your body never tires of the same massage.
7.  Entertainment
All those summertime hits and mellow tracks always lift spirits. Since many hot tubs are compatible with iPods and other portable media devices, you can create a playlist specifically for soaking. Whatever your taste in music, a state-of-the-art in-spa stereo system allows you to sing along with your favorite vocalists, surrounded with bubbling acoustics. Also try your crosswords, sudokus, cryptograms…whatever the puzzle; finishing one while surrounded by the peaceful waters of your hot tub makes the success all the more sweet.
6. Family Time and Get-Togethers
Hot tubs really do bring together the family. Flip open the cover, start the jets, and watch how everyone gets up from their computer, hangs up their cell phone and heads out for a soak. Whether it is a birthday bash, a barbeque after the big game, a family reunion or a holiday get-together, spending some time in a hot tub adds a unique twist to a traditional festivity. Also the hot tub is an ideal setting to share good news or to make an important family announcement.

What Can A Hot Tub Do For You?

We all need to relax and unwind, and a hot tub is a perfect addition to any home that will allow you to do just that. Owning an Artesian spa means that you can enjoy the outdoors all year round, and your family will love their backyard retreat! But what can a hot tub do for you?
 

1) De-stress your body. Hurrying from destination to destination without rest has become the day-to-day way of life; we simply weren’t built for the amount of stress that we currently endure.  Giving ourselves time to de-stress has become a very important necessity that most of us ignore.  Hydrotherapy allows your body to release tension, loosen stiff muscles and make the blood flow more freely.  Do you get tension headaches?  Effective hydrotherapy increases blood circulation, which can relieve tension headaches caused by stress.

2) Soothe pain from injuries and arthritis. Unless you live your life inside a protective bubble, you’ll likely suffer from a type of injury or arthritis.  Regular hydrotherapy can help to relieve your pain.  The heat from the water relaxes the body and increases blood flow.  The powerful massage jets loosen muscle tension and soothe sore joints.  The buoyancy of the water removes up to 90%of your body’s weight, making you feel lighter.  With regular hydrotherapy, you’re likely to feel better after each use.

3) Get a restful sleep. Sleep is another necessity that we often overlook.  Relaxing before bed time is key to improving your chances of falling asleep and staying asleep.  Hydrotherapy helps to ease tension so you can relax more easily.  Heat loosens muscle contraction and increases blood flow, helping to relieve pain and encouraging your muscles to become loose.
