Your backyard is the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee, a game of catch with the kids or an evening of stargazing– and that’s never been more true than right now. With travel plans on hold and many of our usual activities suspended, the backyard has become the “go-to” leisure destination. With so much time spent hanging out at home, you might be looking for ways to make your backyard or deck more comfortable and appealing.

Planting flowers is a simple backyard project that adds beauty and color to your backyard or deck.

WARM UP WITH A SMALL, SATISFYING TASK.

Chances are there’s at least one area of your backyard that could benefit from some TLC. Don’t put small projects off. Repainting or replacing old patio furniture, replanting flower beds, or simply finding a way to neatly store spa chemicals and gardening supplies are all quick, easy fixes. You’ll feel great when your project is done – and you’ll enjoy a better view from your hot tub.

A pergola provides shade and privacy.

CONSIDER YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

Next time you’re soaking in your hot tub, look around and think about how you might improve the experience. Is there something blocking your view of the mountains or stars? A simple tree trimming can clear the way, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of nature. If it’s privacy you’re seeking, strategically placed shrubs, a canopy, or a pergola can provide both shade and the coverage you need to fully enjoy your outdoor oasis. Installing a backyard fountain provides zen-like ambiance, and helps block noise too – the flowing water will muffle the sound of dogs barking and passing cars.

Personal touches like potted plants, lanterns, and lights complement the clean, modern design of this Hot Spot^® spa.

SMALL TOUCHES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

Inside and out, accessories are the easiest way to bring a splash of color and add personality to your space. Give existing patio furniture a fresh new look with colorful throws and pillows and add natural accents like decorative rocks and potted plants. Scented candles or string lights are an affordable way to add a lovely glow. From the perfect spa-side umbrella, color-coordinated steps, sturdy handrails, and handy towel racks we offer a range of accessories to enhance your spa experience.

Plants and accessories complement the look of your above ground hot tub.

DESIGN TO ENHANCE ANY SPACE.

Above-ground hot tubs provide you with options when designing your outdoor space. You might position it so that you can enjoy a beautiful view, in a secluded corner for privacy, or close to a back door for easy access.

Do you love to travel? If you’re like most people, you look forward to those few days a year when you can take a break from the worries and commitments of daily life and experience something new. But sometimes jetting off to an exotic destination or even taking a weekend road trip, just isn’t possible, especially during a pandemic. When that happens, the best we can do is try to experience the best things about vacation, without leaving home. It’s easier than you might think!

We did an informal poll, and asked people around the office what they enjoyed most about traveling. Here are some of the reasons they came up with:

•  Getting refreshed and revitalized
•  Having dedicated time to spend with your partner and kids
•  Socialization with friends
•  Time to reflect on your short and long-term goals
•  Appreciation of nature and you surroundings
•  Prioritizing pleasure over work and other not-so-fun obligations

With a little creativity, you can enjoy many of these same benefits at home. With a Hot Spring spa at home, wellness, happiness, and connection is as close as your own backyard.

Not quite convinced? This chart compares the overall wellness benefits of a hot tub versus a vacation.

For an experience that leads to happiness, vitality, and connection, the hot tub wins over a vacation, hands down. A glance at our reviews illustrate the fact that hot tubbing is a popular backyard activity for families, empty nesters, athletes – just about anyone!

There will be time again someday to hop on a plane or take the kids to a theme park. In the meantime, your local Hot Spring Spas dealer can help you establish your own backyard retreat, where wellness, comfort, and connection are always available!

If you’ve spent any time shopping for a new hot tub, you’ve probably heard a lot about how good hot tubs are for your health. But apart from being relaxing and soothing, many people still wonder, “What does a hot tub actually do for your body?” The short answer? A lot.

Using a hot tub regularly can have a tremendous impact on a number of health conditions and provide a big boost to your overall well-being. To understand the effects of a hot tub on the body, here are some common physical ailments and health issues that can be alleviated with regular hot tub use.

Muscle soreness

Chronic pain affects an estimated 20% of U.S. adults or around 50 million people. Often, that pain takes the form of sore muscles. Thankfully, hot tubs might be able to provide some relief. The heat from the spa water could help loosen tight muscles and encourage blood flow, which can help reduce pain. Powerful jet systems can also massage the muscles and alleviate any tension that may be causing discomfort. That’s why regular hot tub use might not only relieve pain, but it can also provide a boost for your exercise routine as well.

Joint pain

Joint pain is another common affliction that can be improved through daily hot tub use. The reason is simple: The buoyancy of water can take weight off of your joints, which might help relieve joint pain or arthritis pain. According to the Arthritis Foundation, warm water immersion “offers 360-degree support for sore limbs, can decrease swelling and inflammation and increase circulation.” They also note that the effects of a hot tub on your body may continue for a prolonged period after you’ve left the spa.

Stress

Modern life is full of stressors that can take their toll on your physical and emotional well-being. But hot tubs help melt that stress away through the power of warm water hydrotherapy. Studies have shown that your body’s autonomic nervous system balances out when you immerse yourself in warm water. This balancing act could help you better manage stress and can even lead to “a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease, improved memory, enhanced cognitive processes and increased concentration.”

Anxiety

Hot tubs might help reduce anxiety in much the same way that they can impact your stress levels. The way warm water affects your body’s nervous system might help you process emotions and relieve anxiety. But there are features beyond the water itself that can help with anxiety. Built-in LED lights help create a calming atmosphere while integrated Bluetooth speakers allow you to listen to relaxing music or a guided meditation program.

Poor sleep

According to one study , up to 70% of U.S. adults say they don’t get the sleep they need. And lack of sleep quickly takes a toll on both mind and body. But a hot tub can help correct that. A relaxing soak before bed helps you disconnect from the stresses and obligations in your daily life. Taking a break from screens and social media also helps quiet your mind and has been proven to lead to better sleep. By relaxing your muscles and erasing the worries of the day, a hot tub can set the stage for night after night of restorative sleep.

Conclusion

When it comes down to it, there’s a lot that a hot tub does for your body. But you won’t know how it’ll work for you until you try it yourself. Find your local Hot Spring dealer and schedule a wet test today. You’ll be able to experience the massage of powerful jets and enjoy all the transformative properties of your very own hot tub.

There are so many ways to benefit from your hot tub this holiday season. From relaxing to celebrating, a hot tub will be there to help! Let us paint you a picture.

Family time – Everyone is home for the holidays and you couldn’t be more excited to sit down and talk to your kids, grandkids, siblings or parents and just catch up and have some laughs. You can surely all sit around the TV in the living room with your phones in your hand OR you can unplug and head out to the hot tub for disconnected conversation.

Relaxation– You just spent 3 hours at the mall finishing up shopping for your family’s Christmas presents just to get home and spend another hour wrapping them. After finishing up, head to your hot tub to relax your mind and muscles and prepare for a great night sleep.

Christmas Eve– The kids are all winding down from their exciting day of playing in the snow or running around with the cousins. They are all on a Christmas cookies sugar high and they can’t stop talking about their excitement for Santa Claus to come. Take the kids out to the hot tub and watch the night sky and gaze into the stars watching for Santa before bed. The warm water will relax them as memories are being made as you create a Christmas Eve tradition of watching for Santa together.

A Get Away– Aunt Shirley and Uncle George have been staying at your house for 4 long days now and you need a get away. Head to your hot tub for your own personal oasis. Relax as you listen to the bubbling water, warm your body up as the air around you is freezing cold and clear your mind.

Snowfall– Close your eyes and picture the snow falling around you as you sit in your spa. Those huge snowflakes are falling, the ones that look like you’re in a snow globe that was just shaken up. As you’re sitting in warm water the cold flakes are falling right on your head, this is a moment like no other!

Celebration– You are having a few friends over to celebrate New Year’s Eve. The ball just dropped in Time Square at 11PM CT, you have just enough time to head out to the hot tub for an unplugged soak full of laughter with your buddies before it strikes midnight in the Midwest. Hello 2020!

HYDROTHERAPY – WHAT IS IT?

In its basic form, hydrotherapy is a type of warm or cold water massage that helps relieve pain. Hydrotherapy uses the temperature and pressure of water to offer relief from symptoms. While hydrotherapy can take many forms, often it uses under water jetted massage (as in a hot tub).

WHEN WAS HYDROTHERAPY INVENTED?

Hydrotherapy dates back to Ancient Greece. Hippocrates documented his early use of hydrotherapy and referred to the treatment as hydropathy. The Greeks were not the only people to use hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy was also used by the Ancient Chinese, Roman, and Egyptian civilizations. Hydrotherapy gained popularity over time and came to the United States in the 1840s. Hydrotherapy has evolved in the United States, and now encompasses many different forms. People love hydrotherapy so much that they even started using it to treat their dogs. Today there are even canine hydrotherapy facilities across the country.

HOW IS HYDROTHERAPY PRACTICED?

There are many techniques that people use to enjoy hydrotherapy benefits. A simple and common technique is the use of a cold or hot compress for muscle pain, headaches, or fevers. Wraps, like compresses, involve wrapping a water soaked sheet around a part of the body. A second layer of towels or hot blankets added to the wrap can treat anything from a fever to skin disorders. Hot tubs and spas are a huge part of hydrotherapy practices and offer many benefits. The hot water helps relieve sore muscles, and sports-related injuries. It may provide temporary relief for arthritis symptoms. The jet streams help ease other types of symptoms, including emotional or mental stress. Hot tubs are a great way to enjoy hydrotherapy benefits at home. When a person’s body is completely submerged in water, they have a weightless feeling.. This relief from the pressure of gravity gives muscles and joints a respite from pain. Exercising in water also takes this concept of weightlessness and applies it to activity. Water based exercise reduces pressure on joints and muscles.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF HYDROTHERAPY?

At its most basic level, hydrotherapy can help relieve stress and assist people to relax and let go of worry. Hydrotherapy also reduces aches and pains including sore muscles, and joint stiffness.

Some hydrotherapy benefits may include:

• increase blood flow in the body

• reduce aches and pains of sore muscles

• relieve joint stiffness

• ease common cold symptoms (clearing airways)

• assist with issues related to hypertension

• relief from headaches

Hydrotherapy is a long, storied practice that can assist people in many ways. One of the easiest ways to practice hydrotherapy is to bring a hot tub into your own home and use it daily. Hot tubs are one of the most common ways to reap the wellness benefits of hydrotherapy!

When you have a loving partner and family, you come home to people you respect, admire, and support. If you have young children, you are provided with endless opportunities to see the world through their eyes and marvel at the things you take for granted as an adult.

There’s no substitute for the joy a family can bring, but caring for the people you love most isn’t always easy. You work hard professionally and at home to solve problems that arise and provide your partner and children with all they need. But a busy, demanding life can mean that you don’t always get to spend quality time with your family. So, you have to create that time. A home hot tub can help you do just that, as it provides a distraction-free environment in which you can reconnect with your partner and kids while letting them know exactly how much they mean to you.

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR SPOUSE THROUGH RELAXATION

When was the last time you really talked to your partner? Sure, you might ask how the day went, but do you ask about other things that might concern them— their thoughts and opinions that go beyond the kids, work, and errands? Are there things you wish your partner would ask you about?

Making time for conversation to check in with one another mentally and emotionally can make a strong relationship even stronger and confirm all of the reasons you were first drawn to each other.

Starting that conversation in a relaxing environment such as a hot tub can provide the comfort you both may need. Plus, if you make the time to soak together regularly, you may find that reconnecting with your spouse becomes a welcome part of a whole new wellness routine. Regular hot tub use offers wellness benefits that can enhance your mood and your overall quality of life. For example:

• Daily hot tub use can help you sleep better. A lack of sleep can cause you to become frustrated more easily. But getting a full eight hours of restful sleep can help you be your best self.
• A relaxing soak can help reduce the accumulated stress of daily life. Twenty minutes of hydrotherapy offers health benefits including relief of muscle aches, joint pain, and tension.
• Practicing the art of hot tub relaxation with the family can be a bonding experience. Taking the time to relax and even meditate as a family can renew your appreciation for one another.

When you’re rested and free of the tension and soreness that can accumulate in daily life, you may find that you’re more able to give your partner and children the attention they deserve. You might even notice that they’re more appreciative of you in return. This can be a great benefit, especially when your kids are on their way to becoming young adults. So plan a hot tub date night and get to relaxing!

A HOT TUB CAN HELP TWEENS AND TEENS RELAX AND OPEN UP

One of the things you and your spouse may worry about is spending too little time with your growing children. Your kids need your attention, especially adolescents nearing that age when their lives can get complicated.

Life concerns aren’t just for adults—and neither is your hot tub. A home spa can help your teens manage their stress in the same ways it can help you deal with anxiety. Enjoying a warm soak with your kids can provide you with a solid foundation for easing their fears and offering support and gratification, and it can give them the opportunity they need to confide in you about the things on their minds—school, friends, sports, and more.

By sharing a relaxing soak and meaningful conversation with your tween or teen you may help them in the following areas:

• Overcome shyness and build self-esteem. You probably remember your own awkward years of adolescence and struggling to find your comfort zone. When you engage your teens regularly in conversation, you can help them feel valued and reinforce their confidence.
• Develop more positive behaviors at home and at school. As a role model for your children, your positive actions can help them become better and more mature communicators. By learning through your example, they can get a head start on interacting in more meaningful ways with their peers.
• Create great memories. The experiences you provide your kids with today will influence the adults they will become. One way to ensure that your kids look back fondly on the time you spend together now is to carve out time for them individually and mix in some fun with the thoughtful conversations.

A bonus benefit of a family spa is that your children might think of it as something very cool that could be shared with their friends. Supervising your kids and their friends in your spa can earn you major parent points and provide you with opportunities to better know their buddies.

CHOOSE THE PERFECT HOT TUB FOR YOUR FAMILY

To enjoy the benefits of spending time with family in a hot tub, you’ll need to choose a suitable spa. Size should be your primary consideration since you’ll want plenty of seating. The four-seat Hot Spring® Limelight® Beam spa is a great option for an average family. Large families might consider the five-, six- and seven-seat models from the Hot Spring Limelight® Collection and the Highlife® Collection.

No matter which Hot Spring spa you choose, reconnecting with your partner and children will prove to be one of its greatest benefits.
