Hot Tubs have been used as a source of relaxation in spa resorts and fitness centres all over the world, promoting relaxation and wellbeing. By owning one, it can give you more regular access to these and many other benefits.
Hot Tubs help to relax your body and mind, improving both physical and mental health. The warm water and bubbles reduce the gravitational pull of your body and dilate the blood vessels, which means less pressure on your heart, and can help you cope with stress and anxiety, giving your body and mind time to unwind.

The temperature of the water induces perspiration which helps the body get rid of impurities and water retention, and is an excellent way to detox your body, aid weight loss and reduce cellulite.
Hot Tub jets also provide a massaging effect which helps to ease aching muscles and back pain. Patients with arthritis find this kind of hydrotherapy especially effective, as the warm water helps with blood circulation, and the lack of gravity in water lets you move around easier. Compared with a hot bath, the constant warm water of a hot tub provides more effective and sustained pain relief, as the water stays warmer for longer and until you feel you are ready to get out of the water.

Another benefit of using a hot tub is that it releases the body’s natural feel-good chemicals called endorphins, which will make you feel happy and relaxed and will help those suffering from anxiety and depression.
A hot tub can also help you acheive that “getting away from it all” feeling. By relaxing in your hot tub, you can get a similar sense of relaxation as you would on a holiday break thanks to the warm waters and stress-free atmosphere – yet it can be achieved in your own home or garden!
