Whether it’s a marathon runner pounding the pavement, a hockey player carving up the ice, or a soccer player doing footwork drills with a ball, all athletes have one thing in common: they prioritize their physical well-being. However, caring for one’s body should not be viewed as a luxury reserved for athletes alone. While there are many different ways to care for your physical and mental health, you may not have thought to include hydrotherapy as a staple in your wellness routine. Incorporating daily hydrotherapy into your life with a hot tub (spa) could be the key in helping you to target annoying muscle tightness and fatigue, and reduce everyday stress.

Make It a Lifestyle Not a Luxury

Imagine yourself coming home after a long day of work. Perhaps you’re feeling a little drained or fatigued and in need of some quality relaxation. You make yourself a hot cup of chamomile tea and hop into your Arctic Spa. Suddenly, you feel the stress of the day melt off your shoulders. Whether you’re sitting comfortably in one of our sculpted shuttle seats, laying back in one of our luxurious loungers, or settling into our popular SDS seat, you can turn on the jets and feel the welcoming relief that a good hydrotherapy massage will provide.

Or, better yet, after weeks of experiencing poor sleeping cycles, you find a moment in your long-winded day to indulge in superior hydrotherapy that leaves your joints feeling relief and provides a much needed restful sleep. This is what a well-balanced wellness routine is all about. You don’t just have to work hard, it is important to recover smartly by giving your body the aftercare it deserves.

Tech For Comfort

Is it actually comfortable?

Not only are Arctic Spas® hot tubs equipped with powerful jets that increase circulation to provide pain relief in your joints, the hot tubs are also designed with different seats from loungers to seats that target different needs and concerns. No longer do you have to shift around uncomfortably in your spa or All-Weather Pool, there is a seat for everyone.

Is maintaining a hot tub difficult?

Gone are the days of spending hours on spa maintenance, a routine that can be difficult and bothersome for some. With Arctic Spas’ commitment to making your life easier as you embark on your wellness journey, technology like Spa Boy® has been designed to help you automate your hot tub or All-Weather Pool water care routine, allowing you to relax confidently and peacefully. And to take it a step further, the new Smart pH system automatically senses and adjusts your spa’s pH to improve water clarity while greatly lengthening the use of your hot tub elements. With this addition to your Spa Boy® package, you no longer have to worry about your spa’s health as well as yours. And the best part? You can control everything through your Arctic Spas® app from anywhere in the world.

Taking care of your health and wellness should not be considered a luxury. Soaking in your Arctic Spas® hot tub with massaging jets that target your joints and muscles, while spending time with your loved ones, can leave both your mind and body feeling ready for a restful and relaxed night.  Treat yourself to a wellness routine that blends seamlessly with your lifestyle allowing a well-balanced and relaxed life.
