After a long hard day, there’s nothing like soaking in a warm hot tub to help you relax and unwind. Hot tubs are great for soothing tired muscles and relaxing, but they can be expensive and bulky. Adding a massage bathtub to your home is an excellent way to get the same benefits of a hot tub without the high prices.
Lower Cost
Bathtubs with massage features are very similar to hot tubs, only smaller. The smaller size makes them lower in cost than traditional hot tubs depending on the size and amenities you choose. Adding extra amenities like more jets, heated seats, or other extras will increase the price, but the cost will still be lower than the cost of a hot tub with the same added amenities.
Requires Less Space
Most hot tubs seat four or more people at a time, but a massage bathtub usually only seats one to two people, and most massage tubs can fit in the same space as your regular tub. Hot tubs require much more space than most massage tubs and can require extensive plumbing and electrical connections.
Health Benefits
Massage tubs offer more than just a way to relax and relieve sore muscles. Research is now showing that there are many health benefits related to soaking in hot water, especially when combined with massaging jets. The relaxation you get from the massaging jets combined with the hot water can help improve sleep and improve circulation.
Other benefits include muscle relaxation, stress relief, calorie burn better cardiovascular health, and pain relief. Some studies are even showing that regular thermal therapy using a massage tub can improve impaired sensitivity to insulin, which can be beneficial to people with diabetes.
Easier to Install
A massage bathtub can be easier to install than the typical hot tub. You can simply replace your standard tub with a massage tub in the same space in many instances. If you have a small bathroom, there are small massage tubs on the market to fit almost any size bathroom, and some models can even be installed DIY.
Fun and Enjoyment
One of the most significant benefits of massage bathtubs is the fun and hours of enjoyment they provide. Soothing relaxation combined with the physical and mental benefits of a massaging bathtub can invigorate your mind and body. A well-rested mind and body are better able to handle life’s daily stress and challenges.
