A hot spring spa works on three principals. Heat, massage, and buoyancy. When you come home at the end of a long day, and sit in a hot spring spa, you are treating yourself to not only a long relaxing soak, you are also being massaged by jets of warm water that are shot out of jet nozzles that are placed around the hot spring spa. By being immersed in the water, over 90% of your body weight is taken off of tired bones and joints, relieving any pressure that you may have. You are literally floating on the water.



The jets of water then massage you, relaxing tired aching muscles. The results are that you feel rejuvenated and ready to face another day. The jets are adjustable, so you can direct them toward whatever part of the body needs them most. Hot spring spas are also great for increasing blood circulation because the hot water raises your body temperature and that in turn dilates the blood vessels allowing better blood flow. Another benefit to a Hot spring spa is that as it relieves pain by releasing endorphins in the body as it relaxes. Endorphins are considered to be the body's natural painkiller. All who own a Hot spring spa agree that nothing can compare to the feeling of total relaxation you feel after soaking in a hot spring spa.
