What is Spa Therapy?
Spa therapy is commonly known as hydrotherapy.
This ancient therapeutic technique takes advantage of the healing environment in the spa. This includes heat and buoyancy of the water, along with the massaging action of the different types of jets.
So ... how does hydrotherapy work? Let's dive in!
It starts with the buoyancy of the water. The buoyancy of the water in your spa can help relieve pressure and weight from your body, allowing you to move freely in the spa. This can relieve extra tension from particularly sore muscles or stiff joints, allowing you to benefit even more from the warm water and soothing jets.
Once your body adjusts to the weightless environment of a spa, the warm water can have a real effect. The warm environment can increase blood circulation, spreading feel-good endorphins through your body. These endorphins can help relieve pain and make you feel better overall.
And finally, there are the healing properties of the jets. The jets scattered throughout your spa are strategically placed to target the most stress/tension-prone areas of your body, providing a continuous flow of soothing water that applies the right amount of pressure to these muscle groups. This massaging action can help reduce tension, loosen stiff muscles and make you feel better physically.
Not to mention how relaxed you will feel!
The Top 10 Benefits of Spas
Now that we've covered the basics of spa therapy and what hydrotherapy is, let's take a closer look at some of the key health and lifestyle benefits of spas!
Disclaimer: Please check with your doctor before using a spa to treat your health or if you have an existing condition. This is to help you ensure your best health and that using a spa will support you physically!
Health Benefits of Spa Therapy
1. Relieve muscle aches and pains
Hydrotherapy can do wonders for people who suffer from aches and pains. The warm water and buoyancy can help create a relaxing environment that takes the pressure off sore and tired muscles. Once your body has had a chance to relax, the hydrotherapy jets can really do their job.
Spa therapy can be especially helpful for people who suffer from headaches and migraines, back pain and other physical conditions.
2. Better sleep patterns
Did you know that spending time in a spa can help improve your sleep patterns? Spending an hour or two in a spa before bed can help you relax mentally and physically.
Whether you could benefit from relieving tension or decompressing after a long day at work, your spa is the perfect solution.
3. Better recovery from injury
Spas are often used to help patients recover after an injury. This is due to the soothing environment within the spa, but most importantly, the buoyancy. Buoyancy helps take the pressure and weight off your body, allowing the injured areas to move freely and truly relax. This not only feels great, but can also help with a faster and better recovery.
4. More energy
The more rested you are, the more energy you will feel! This is exactly the case with spending time at a spa.
The next time you feel exhausted after a long day or in need of refreshment after exercising, take a dip in your spa!
5. Boost in overall mood
- Less pain
- Sleep better
- Less stress
- More relaxation
With all these benefits and more, it's no wonder spa owners are often in a good mood! Regular spa therapy can help improve your mood through the power of hydrotherapy, but certainly chromatherapy as well!

Lifestyle Benefits of Spa Therapy
Owning and using a spa is about so much more than just how they make you feel. It's about how they can affect your life in general! Let's take a look at the lifestyle benefits.
6. Enjoy the outdoors
Are you planning a spa in the backyard? We agree, this is one of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors! Rain, sunshine or snow - enjoy a soothing and relaxing dip in your spa. Better yet, enjoy the fresh air and sounds of nature without getting cold.
7. Increase your home value
Did you know that a spa installation can help increase the value of your home? A spa adds value not only through the spa itself, but also through an expert approach to landscaping and overall curb appeal.
After all, who doesn't want to buy a house with a beautiful spa installation?
8. Spend more time with family
We can't think of a better way to spend time with your family. Discuss events of the day, discuss accomplishments and obstacles, enjoy a good laugh and create memories that can be cherished for a lifetime.
The best part? The soothing environment in your spa will make your family want to stay longer in your spa and, in turn, spend more time together!
9. Create an outdoor oasis
Installing a hot tub is a great opportunity to give your backyard the refresh it deserves. Whether you're looking for a basic installation, complete with a picturesque patio, or a total transformation of the backyard, your spa can certainly help get the ball rolling.
Your outdoor oasis can be completed all at once, or in steps completed over a series of months or even years. By considering factors such as your backyard's potential, budget and preferences, you can truly bring your dream outdoor oasis to life!
10. Invest in self-care
Self-care is so important.
How we invest and take care of our self-care can look very different from person to person.
Some are satisfied with a spa day at home, while others need a little relaxation every day. While your approach to self-care depends entirely on your wants, needs and preferences, it is hard to deny that a spa can certainly complement your daily routine.
Sit back, relax and just let your tension drain away. Relax after a long day, do light stretching exercises or enjoy a conversation with a loved one. Regardless of your needs, taking a bath in your spa is always a good investment in your self-care.
