Buying a hot tub is a sizeable investment in you, your family, and your health. It shouldn’t be taken lightly. The stress-relief, pain management, and time for quality conversation that comes with buying a hot tub is well worth the investment and effort up front.
- Relief (pain management)
- Connection (quality together time)
- Escape (stress relief)

Recent research has shown that post-exercise hot water immersion aids in muscle recovery as it increases circulation (oxygen flow to tissues) and reduces inflammation. Benefits such as decreased muscle spasm, stiffness, and increased range of motion have also been reported following the application of heat.

Growing external pressures and information overload have resulted in an ongoing issue with stress today. Over time, elevated and rapidly shifting levels of blood pressure caused by stress can lead to damaged arteries, plaque formation, and suppressed immunity. Warm water immersion, on other other hand, has been shown to decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 11%. This same research found that those who soaked in a hot tub for 10 minutes had “increased feelings of well-being and decreased state anxiety.”

A study by Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases found that “hydrotherapy is often recommended to patients with arthritis as water provides a range of benefits, including the reduction of edema, pain relief, and reduced loading on damaged arthritic joints.” By soaking in warm water, the heat helps reduce the force of gravity which can place additional stress on joints, decrease swelling, and increase blood circulation. It can also relieve the symptoms of a variety of other ailments including high blood pressure, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, fibromyalgia, gastrointestinal distress, and a lowered immunity.
