Water therapy, or hydrotherapy, is a fantastic way to improve both your physical and mental health. It offers a range of benefits, from relieving pain and improving mobility to reducing stress and boosting your mood. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply looking for a way to stay active and healthy, water therapy can be a great option.

​

People enjoy aquatic therapy in a wide variety of settings, including swim spas and hot tubs. These specialised pools offer unique benefits for relaxation, exercise, and rehabilitation. Swim spas, with their adjustable currents and resistance jets, provide a deceptively challenging yet low-impact workout. In contrast, hot tubs offer a soothing and relaxing environment for muscle relaxation and pain relief. Whether you're looking to improve your fitness, reduce stress, or simply enjoy a relaxing soak, read on to find out how a hot tub or swim spa can benefit you.

What Is The Difference Between A Hot Tub And Swim Spa?

Swim Spas are primarily designed for fitness or rehabilitation and, as the name implies, allow the user to swim. Much like a treadmill, a swim spa keeps the swimmer stationary in the water as they swim against a constant current provided by powerful jets. You can also use a swim spa as an alternative to a traditional pool, for relaxation and family fun. Due to the size and structure of a swim spa they are much more energy efficient than a standard pool, while providing all of the same benefits. Compared to hot tubs, swim spas are usually kept at cooler temperatures, between 24-35°C.

Hot tubs, on the other hand, are usually kept between 36-40°C. Hydropool Hot Tubs are aimed at relaxation and recovery, with features crafted to deliver exceptional hydrotherapy massages at the push of a button. With some models boasting fully automated wellness programs, which guide you through the optimum massage sequence for your ache or ailment.

Hydrotherapy Benefits From Hot Tub Use

Connect With Family

In today's fast-paced world, it's tough to carve out quality time with loved ones. Every spare moment seems to demand productivity, leaving little room for genuine connection. A hot tub offers a dedicated, distraction-free zone for precious family moments. Beyond fostering togetherness, a hot tub offers a wealth of benefits for every member of the household. Weary parents can find a much-needed sanctuary to recharge, leveraging the power of hydrotherapy and massage to melt away stress. For energetic children, it can be a fantastic way to burn off excess energy before bedtime, promoting a more peaceful night's sleep. And older kids and teens might discover that a relaxing soak is just what they need to unwind and reduce school-related stress.

Soothe Tired, Aching Muscles

The warm water in a premium hot tub can increase the flexibility of collagen tissue. This benefit, combined with the buoyancy of water reducing pressure on your body, creates an ideal environment for muscle and joint relief. Many individuals experience significant stress and muscle tension relief through regular hot tub use. Some users report that this reduction in stress and tension may even help alleviate the frequency and intensity of headaches.

​

Relax And Sleep Better
Heat of a hot tub improves blood circulation, provides tension relief, and quicker lactic acid removal; all of which results in a comforting state of relaxation and tranquility, assisting you to sleep better at night.

Health Benefits of Resistance Swim Spas

Cardio At It's Best
Swimming provides an effective workout plan that gets the heart going – it’s good for both weight loss and for improving cardiovascular function.

​

Exercise Without Impact
Unlike running or walking, there is no impact on the joints, which is important for those who may be severely overweight or those with joint pain.

​

Soothe Muscles And Relax

A Hydropool swim spa is an opportunity for you to get an intense workout right from your pool. However, a swim spa offers other added benefits that a traditional pool may not offer, not just exercise related – in fact, this can be the perfect place to relax and unwind.

​

Safety First

Hydropool swim spas are safe for all ages. With adult supervision, the kids will enjoy splashing around in the pool or building their swimming skills. It is also a good option for those who want just to have a place for the kids to cool down in the hot summer months.
