Hydrotherapeutic massage simulates several stress-relieving massage techniques. Swedish massage uses different intensities and direction of movement to increase circulation and promote relaxation. The oscillating flow from spa/hot tub jets, and the different combinations of jet sizes and pressure simulate this Swedish massage technique. Deep tissue massage, like Shiatsu, can also be provided by strong hot tub jets applying pressure to the muscle to release accumulated stress.

Surveys conducted by the National Sleep Foundation reveal that 60 percent of adults report having problems with sleep. They suggest a bathing ritual as a natural aid for sleep. A warm soak in a hot tub provides just the right combination of warmth and water motion. Hot tubs are more convenient too. No guessing waiting for the water to fill the tub or guessing about the water temperature. Just slide in and relax.

Sitting in a hot tub raises the body's temperature for an extended period of time, producing cleansing and relaxing effects. The buoyancy of the water creates a sense of weightlessness, inviting restful sleep.
