Hot tubs provide physical and mental benefits which can improve overall health and wellbeing. Some hot tub health include hydrotherapy which can help reduce muscle and joint pain, recover from sports injury and help improve performance. 

Hot tub water therapy has been used to alleviate pain and soothe sore and tired muscles for decades. There was a resurgence of water cure in Europe, The United Kingdom, and The United States during the 19th century. The water cure as it was commonly known is a term for some therapies, namely; hydropathy, which we now refer to as hydrotherapy.

Warm water therapy was enjoyed and used for medicinal purposes by the Greeks and ancient Romans. It is interesting to note that the origin of the word spa dates back to ancient Rome when Roman soldiers returned from the battle lines weary and wounded. The hot spring water helped to reduce pain and relax their tired and sore muscles. The Roman army proceeded to build baths around natural hot water springs. The sought after baths known as sanus per aquam of which the word spa is an acronym, means health from water.

How can a hot tub help in recovering from an injury?

Anyone who has a hot spa can attest to the fact that you feel more relaxed after spending time in a hot spa. The hydrotherapeutic massage features and the innovative design of hot tubs with jets of different sizes, pressures, configurations and quantities are becoming increasingly popular. 

If you have had a recent injury that hinders your body movement, the jets are designed to target muscles in your neck, back and knees. The hot tub jets can massage and relieve your sore muscles and injuries. A hot spa may not heal your injury completely, but it does provide relief.

If you have pulled a muscle or had a fall which resulted in stiff, sore and tense muscles or if you experience body pain such as neck, shoulder or lower back pain, then hot tub hydrotherapy can help to release the stiff muscles and speed up the recovery.
