In ancient times, such as the Romans and the Greeks, the spa-like bathhouses were centers of social life and daily activity for those who were of high enough class. Cultures like Japan, China and Native Americans have always used water therapy in most of their healing systems. Using a bathhouse in these times was a symbol of status, much as it is today.

Today, Hydrotherapy is used around the world to relax at the spa and also in the comfort of your own backyard. Personal hot tubs and spas are available from companies such as Jacuzzi that fit the specific needs you have. As medical science has proven, many medical conditions or injuries have be eased or improved with regular hydrotherapy sessions. Whether you live in the Mountains of Revelstoke or the valley of the sunny Okanagan, you can find a Jacuzzi tub to suit you, your back yard and your life style.

Hydrotherapy uses the body's reaction to hot and cold and the application of heat and pressure to stimulate the muscles. The nerves being stimulated carry the sensation deep into the body where they influence the production of stress hormones, encouraging blood flow which ultimately lessens the pain sensitivity. The heat in the Jacuzzi hot tubs promotes soothing the body and slowing the body's activity. Hydrotherapy benefits people with arthritis, MS, anxiety/stress, and many other medical conditions. The hot tub loosens joints, making it easier to be mobile and relieves aches and pains caused by injury and other conditions. Hydrotherapy releases tenseness in muscles, relieves anxiety and promotes good health through out your whole body, letting you and your body be calm and relaxed.

The seating in the hot tubs plays a great role in the effectiveness of the Hydrotherapy. In older hot tubs, the seats were a uniform shape and depth, making it hard for different people to get the full benefits of Hydrotherapy. Since the first hot tub, things have changed. With the development of molded fiberglass, Jacuzzi tubs now come with different seats such as a lounge seat, seats starting at different depths and the traditional bucket seats to completely submerge the occupant. The seating isn't the only component in guaranteeing you get the most out of your Hydrotherapy session, but the position and function of the jets play a key part. Since no one person is the same, Jacuzzi has made the jet position and function of every tub to suit the needs of each individual. The benefits from owning a hot tub are endless, from Hydrotherapy to entertaining family and friends to relaxing after a tough day at work.
