Our lives are constantly moving so fast that we rarely take time to relax, refresh and recharge — and for our mental and physical health we really need to. Why? Because stress can take a toll on our health and we need to take time for self care. The benefits of an at home spa cannot be denied, especially after a long day at the office or fighting traffic.

A hot tub or spa isn’t just for pool owners. You may not have a swimming pool, but you can have a spa or hot tub OR you may have a swimming pool and want to add a hot tub or spa to it — the swimming pool contractors from Advanced Pools, Inc. in Memphis, Tennessee say it’s possible!

Benefits of an at home spa

What are some of the benefits you might reap if you invest in a hot tub or spa?

 Stress relief. Soaking in a hot tub or spa is a way to relax away the stresses of the day. The heated water and the jets help work out the kinks and when you’re soaking in a hot tub, you can let your mind wander and stop worrying.

Hydrotherapy. If you are looking for a way to get in shape without worry of injury, a hot tub or spa workout is ideal. Hydrotherapy lets you use the buoyancy of the water to alleviate stress and strain on your muscles and joints. In a hot tub you can do leg lifts, squats, arm exercises and even walking in place. You’ll be working out and you’ll be in a warm, safe environment.

 Can’t sleep? If you suffer insomnia a soak in a hot tub or spa can lower your heart rate, the overall temperature of your body and that may lead to better sleep.

 Property value increases. If your hot tub or spa is a permanent structure, it may increase the resale value of your property.

Family time. When you’re in a hot tub or spa with your family it’s great family time. You can all kick back, relax and spend family time together. Don’t forget to invite friends and family for an intimate gathering in the family hot tub!
