Hydrotherapy Spa Pool Guide For New Zealand

21 December, 2024

Hydrotherapy is an effective way to recover from physical activity, relieve the symptoms of musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain and improve fitness with low-impact workouts.

Our hydrotherapy spa pools make these treatments, which you would usually pay a professional for, accessible on your terms within the comfort of your own home.

Let’s unpack how hydrotherapy works, its benefits and how you can incorporate it into your wellness routine with a Sapphire Spas spa pool

 

What Is A Hydrotherapy Spa Pool?

Hydrotherapy is an age-old practice where water is used for relaxation, physiotherapy, exercise, and rehabilitation. Spa pools with hydrotherapy jets make hydrotherapy private and accessible within your home.

At Sapphire Spas, our specialised hydrotherapy spa pools combine the healing properties of warm water with strategically placed massage jets to deliver a comprehensive wellness experience.

With the gentle combination of supportive buoyancy, comforting warmth, and precise massage jets, these spa pools can work wonders in relieving stress, soothing tired muscles and enhancing overall well-being.

More than just luxurious additions to your backyard, a hydrotherapy spa is an effective tool for a healthier, more relaxed version of yourself.

 

Hydrotherapy Spa Pool Features

1. Relief from Osteoarthritis symptoms

Helps improve flexibility, mobility and energy for people with arthritis symptoms; an excellent choice for rehabilitation and general fitness.

With the full body support of the surrounding warm water, you can move about your spa more easily, enjoying less pressure on your joints and muscles than with land-based activity. 

Sapphire Spas have built-in massage jets to help improve aches, pains or injuries in much the same way as direct ‘hands-on’ techniques offered by physical therapists.

2. Hydrotherapy Jets to Relieve Muscular Pain

Neck Pain

Positioned on either side of the spine, these jets, together with heat, stimulate the blood supply to aid in recovering aching muscles or damaged tissue.

Back Pain

The jets within our neck and shoulder massage system stream down to release all the tension in these areas.

Headaches

Often caused by neck tension, headaches may be relieved by positioning your neck and shoulders under the wrap-around neck collar and adjusting the pressure to suit.

Benefits Of A Hydrotherapy Spa Pool

Hydrotherapy has many scientifically proven benefits that you can achieve with your own specially-designed spa pool, including:

Reducing muscle tension: Hydrotherapy spa pools provide a soothing environment where warm water and targeted massage jets work together to relax tense muscles, promoting relaxation and well-being.

Offering pain relief: The combination of buoyancy and heat in hydrotherapy spa pools can help alleviate various types of pain, including joint pain, arthritis discomfort, and muscle aches, providing natural pain relief.

Increasing circulation: Immersing in warm water stimulates blood flow, enhancing circulation throughout the body, contributing to better oxygen delivery to tissues and improving overall health.

Improving balance and coordination: Hydrotherapy exercises in a spa pool challenge balance and coordination, helping to strengthen muscles and enhance proprioception, essential for stability and mobility.

Boosting your immune system: Regular hydrotherapy sessions can support immune function by promoting relaxation, reducing stress levels, and improving circulation, which enhances the body's ability to fight off illnesses.

Relieving stress: The warm, enveloping waters of a hydrotherapy spa pool provide a tranquil space to unwind, relax, and let go of daily stressors, promoting mental well-being and a sense of calmness.

How Our Hydrotherapy Pools Are Helping People

Here are real stories of transformation and healing experienced after using Sapphire Spas hydrotherapy spa pools:

“Sapphire Spas has changed my life! 4 years ago I was in a bad accident & my 4th vertebra was completely crushed. I was bedridden for 2 months & my rehab was very slow. I have always been a swimmer & I had heard about the swim spas. Combined with chronic airway disease, I was in a very bad state of health. This prompted me to take a chance, and I bought the Sapphire Spa.”  - Sue-ann
