We all know what its like coming home from a busy day and needing some fast relaxation and stress relief. Many people choose to reach for that quick drink; but why not soak your stresses away? One of the best ways you can sit outside and enjoy the backyard is to install a hot tub and let the water bring relief from stresses and strains of the day. Ancient civilizations realized the healing power of natural hot and cold springs.

Ancient cultures understood the therapeutic benefits of naturally occurring hot and cold springs. The Romans constructed bath houses as they appreciated the healing power of hot springs.

Hippocrates advocated drinking and bathing in spring water for its health giving properties as early as the 4th century B.C. Healing with water or hydrotherapy has been used throughout Europe since pre Christian times. There are various different types of water healing facilities existing. Hydrotherapy is perhaps the longest standing, cheap and safest options for helping with many common problems and providing relief from stress.

Thanks to the efforts of the Jacuzzi brothers; a massive spa and hot tub industry with numerous manufacturers has developed for the benefit of consumers. The brothers understood the advantages of moving warm water at an early stage and went on to develop a pump that would evolve into the jets in a standard hot tub. From these early beginnings the hot tubs of today are very high tech with the jets placed in just the right position for optimum relief.

The latest style hot tubs can incorporate lights, TV's, music and much more. You may even have a remote control that will switch on the tub and warm up the water. You may opt for a type of hot tub with a vertical seating position as you may not wish to be in a lounging position. Hot tubs and Spas are well suited for whole of body treatments with the water reaching about shoulder height for optimum stress relief. A hot tub can help provide relief for urinary and bladder conditions, minor colds and slight fevers. The duration of a dip in the hot tub should be about 20 minutes.

Hot tubs magically circulate warm water & air through a system of high pressure jets to provide therapeutic muscle stimulation and relax anyone in the tub. These jets are clustered to massage specific groups of muscles at the same time.

The targeted effect can be likened to the work of a trained massage specialist, with the bubbling tingling feeling being produced by the constant introduction of the of the injected air.

The undeniable benefits of hydrotherapy and the improvements in technology have resulted in a massive explosion in the sales of hot tubs and spas. Now is the time to take the plunge and get yourself a hot tub. Create your own oasis of calm in a hectic world today!
