Hydrotherapy is one the oldest and safest methods for treating many common
ailments. Plus, exercising in water is easier on joints than exercising on
land!
Mental Benefits
A recent study shows that 70 percent of employed Americans suffer
stress-related conditions including anxiety and insomnia. By owning a hot
tub, you can:
- Reduce stress and relax: swirling warm water helps your brain to relax
while washing away anxiety.
- Sleep Better: by immersing yourself in hot water for 15 minutes before
bedtime, your body temperature rises and enhances your ability to fall
asleep faster (National Sleep Foundation).
Physical Benefits
By owning a hot tub, you can:
- Get relief for arthritis, aches and stiffness.
- Warm, pulsating water increases blood supply to aching joints, which
helps to remove inflammatory particles from the area and relieves pain.
It has long been recognized by doctors as beneficial in controlling
chronic diseases like high blood pressure, arthritis, and even diabetes.

- The buoyancy of the water relaxes muscles, and warm water decreases
muscle tension that allows for greater flexibility.
- Some hot tubs feature specialized jets that move up and down the spine
that soothe inflamed tissue and relieve pain.
- Breathe and think easier.
- Steam rising off hot water can help open up nasal and bronchial passages
and improves circulation to aid in maintaining upper respiratory health.
- Many people find that soaking in a hot tub relieves headache pain,
especially pain from tension headaches.
Rehabilitation & Therapy Benefits
Many professional sports organizations, trainers and therapists recommend
warm-water therapy to help patients resume their daily activities faster.
When you step into a Dimension One spa, invigorating jets of hot water
increase your circulation and cause your blood vessels to dilate, oxygen
and nutrients rush to aching muscles and toxins leave your system.
By owning a hot tub, you can:
- Improve Cardio Health: A recent study at the Mayo Clinic found that
soaking in a hot bath gives many of the health benefits of exercise with
less strain on the heart. Soaking in a hot bath increases the heart rate
while it lowers blood pressure rather than raising it as does other forms
of exercise.
- Relieve Back and Knee Pain: Four out of five Americans suffer from
chronic back pain, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Many studies show that hydrotherapy alleviates lower back pain and knee
ailments by reducing stress and stiffness.
Lifestyle Enhancements
The peace of mind and serenity a hot tub provides allows you to take
control of your personal well being and lifestyle. More than 50
percent of Americans suffer some sort of ill health effects due to stress.
A soothing soak can help counteract stress.
