We can all use a little hydrotherapy to reduce stress, ease aching muscles, and rejuvenate after a hard day. But as the weather gets colder, the question arises: will I use my hot tub during the cold months?
“We often recommend installing your hot tub near a home’s back door,” says Best Hot Tubs own Bill Renter. “Of course there are reasons for special custom installations elsewhere on the property, but, in general, you’ll use your hot tub more if it’s set close to the house.”
Why Get a Hot Tub?
With all we’re dealing with these days, some of that need is related to health issues like stress. Sometimes it’s improving muscle health, or the desire to fall asleep easier. Others are looking for help with weight loss.
Can Hydrotherapy Really Help?
Scientific studies by the National Aquatics and Sports Medicine Institute and others show that there are remarkable health benefits associated with warm water hydrotherapy in hot tubs.
Hydrotherapy for Lowering Blood Pressure
Posts on these studies indicate that spending time in a hot tub can lower blood pressure, for example. Participating subjects experienced decreased blood pressure when immersed in water of all temperatures.
However, the effect of lowered blood pressure was shown to last much longer for those who soaked in a hot tub.
It’s also fairly widely reported that hot tubs improve heart and circulatory health. It is believed that water immersion helps the circulatory system to operate more efficiently.
This effect can be beneficial to all people, and is especially helpful to individuals who experience decreased circulation due to diabetes and other ailments.
Hydrotherapy for Joint Health
Hot tubs also improve joint health, say experts. Spending time in a hot tub can decrease pain and help improve flexibility by decreasing the effects of gravity, increasing blood flow, and by lessening the pull of tight muscles on sore joints.
Aid for weight loss
Studies also show hydrotherapy can aid in weight loss.
So when you also take into consideration the added benefits of pulsating actions of spa jets on muscles and bones, etc., you can imagine how rejuvenating the totality of the hot tub experience can be.
Of course, it is always common sense if you suffer from any of these problems to ask your physician what the right course of treatment is and how hot tub hydrotherapy can help.

Depending on the muscles you want to treat, you can choose your jets/sit in the seats according to the needs.
Spas/Improving Muscle Health:
Hot tubs also improve muscle health. Soaking in a hot tub loosens stiff muscles and reduces soreness. Increased blood flow to the muscles also aids in healing injuries and recovery after intense workouts.
Convenient Hot Tub Installation Suits the Whole Family
Whether it’s during the holidays or any day after a long day at school or work, having your hot tub just outside the door means you — and the whole family — will use it often.
