The first thing that comes to mind when many people think of a hot tub is luxury. While that may be the case, hot tubs also have several health benefits to help you both physically and mentally. Here’s a list of the 4 top health benefits of hot tubs.

Relaxation

Okay this one is pretty obvious. Everyone loves kicking back and relaxing in warm water as the bubbles swirl around. Relaxing in a hot tub can be a great way to wind down from a hard day at work or a hard day on the golf course. Relaxation can clear your mind and reset your body from the day to help you have a good night’s rest.

Reduce muscle aches and pains

There’s a reason that top athletes rely on hot tubs to ease their aches and pains after a grueling game. The jets in the tub provide a constant massage on the back muscles, allowing muscles to loosen and pain to lessen. In addition to providing a great deep tissue message, the hot water can also speed up muscle recovery and reduce cramping.

Reduce joint pain

Most joint pain is caused by tightened muscles, which cause excess stress on the joints. By sitting in a hot tub you will loosen your muscles thereby reducing the stress on your joints. Hot tubs can also reduce the symptoms of conditions such as fibromyalgia and arthritis.

Relieve stress

Speaking of stress, hot tubs make great stress relievers. The heat and pressure allow the body to naturally release endorphins (A.K.A the “happy drug”) throughout the whole body. This allows you to feel much better while also reducing the amount of pain you are able to feel. A dip in the tub is a great way to unwind from the day.

Note: Your hot tub can’t take care of you if you don’t take care of it!
