Mental and Physical Benefits of a Spa
Spas have been known to be great for all kinds of ailments for thousands of years. Even back in ancient Roman times, spas helped heal aching muscles and battle wounds. The term ‘spa’ comes from the Latin phrase Salus per Aquam, which translates to ‘health from water.’
Today, people still take advantage of the many healing benefits spas have to offer. For instance, there are a variety of types of hydrotherapy that you can get from a spa.
Physical hydrotherapy is a common benefit that can help take pressure off of aching and injured joints. This is particularly important for those who need to do exercises for physical therapy. Water aerobic exercises provides excellent resistance and helps build muscles while the warm water keeps you virtually pain-free.
Thermal hydrotherapy is using hot or cold water to help with blood circulation throughout your body. Hot water can dilate blood vessels, which lower blood pressure, and cold water can help stimulate circulation and heart rate. Cold water can also provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
Chemical hydrotherapy is adding things such as minerals such as Epsom salts. These salts have been known to provide medicinal and therapeutic benefits.
Designing Your Spa
If you are redesigning or adding your spa for the first time, the size and shape are important aspects to consider. You want to compliment your existing pool without taking away from your overall theme and athletic. If you have a geometric shape pool, you may want to experiment with complementary geometric shapes that can fit alongside your pool. If your pool is more of a lagoon or free-form pool, we can design your spa with a similar shape to maintain your theme.
Another thing to consider is whether you want it attached to your pool or if you want some space in between. Some people want to still be in the action of everyone in the pool while still enjoying the relaxing benefits of their spa. If you do choose to build your spa connected to your pool, you may want to consider a few things.
Building your spa right next to your pool may cause pool water to spill over or splash in your warm spa water. While some people don’t mind this, there may be others that want distinct separation from the water temperatures. We can solve this by raising your spa slightly above your pool so you don’t get the chill of pool water while you are trying to relax.
If you choose to build your spa further away from your pool, you may want to consider if you want a walkway that leads to and from your main pool. This way, you can easily go back and forth from your pool to your spa easily and without obstacles in your way. This may also allow you to experiment a little more with the design of your spa. You can change the shape, color and even change the coping of your spa if you so choose.

Tile and stone coping are important parts of pools and spas. Not only do they improve the look of your space, but they can also add benefits. For instance, concrete can get extremely hot during the summer and make walking across it in bare feet painful. However, stone and tile do not absorb heat like concrete which makes it much more comfortable to walk on.
Another thing to consider while designing your spa is the use of lights. Lights can add a practical and aesthetic touch. For practical purposes, light can make nighttime soaks safe and more enjoyable. If you are a parent, then you know the importance of being able to relax in peace and quiet, and sometimes you won’t always get that until the kids have gone off to bed.
You can also add light with different colors to set the mood for a romantic evening or party night as well. Whether it is a late-night birthday party or you are entertaining guests, lights provide a pleasing aesthetic that can add to the ambiance and make your pool space even more glamorous.
Lastly, you want to think about the colors of your spa. Much like your pool, you want your spa to look beautiful. While you may be installing a spa for health reasons, that is no reason to install something that is not aesthetically pleasing to the eye. JR Pool Plastering & Texas Gunite Ltd. has all kinds of colors that can match or accent your pool. You don’t have to do typically concrete colors. You can add colors that even change the appearance of the color of the water and give your spa some flare.
Adding to Your Spa
Much like your pool, you can add to your spa to make it more enjoyable. You can add visual features such as fire and water features. Adding fire bowls and waterfalls can give your pool the extra relaxing touch you need to completely let your stress melt away and rejuvenate in your own home spa.
So you want to work on your tan as well as your health? Consider adding a tanning ledge to your spa that is easily accessible. These are popular choices to help complete your personal spa experience.
You can add an additional seating area for you or your guests to your spa area. Add comfortable reclining seating that allows you to stretch out in the water and still remain cool in the sun.
