The ancient people were aware of both and, like today, their famous spas incorporated hydro massage and soothing sounds in visually pleasing surroundings. Everyone is familiar with the stories of historical figures from Greece and Rome, retiring in the evening to the bathhouses. Even centuries ago, people realized that spas were beneficial to their health and well-being.

Proven health benefits include increased blood flow, relief from pain and arthritis, and a decrease in inflammation around the muscles and nerves. Ask any athlete about soaking in a hot spa after a workout and he or she will tell you hydrotherapy is second to none when it comes to relieving sore muscles.
