Furthermore, the central nervous system's sensitivity is muted, as your body focuses its attention on the heat gain.  This brings about temporary pain relief.  This neurological effect can happen with any gradual increase or decrease in your body's temperature - but soaking in warm water sure sounds nicer than the alternative! **Buoyancy:** Even the fittest among us have a lot of weight on our joints.  Think of your feet and ankles - they support almost all of your body's weight - every day, all day long.  Other joints are constantly in motion - your knees, elbows, and wrists, for example.  And unfortunately, everyone either has experienced some sort of back pain or knows someone who has. When we are sitting in a spa, the natural buoyancy of the water supports approximately 90% of our weight.  This reduces the strain on our joints, by giving them a little "down time" from the daily grind.  Pressure is greatly reduced on all of your joints and muscles while you are relaxing in your hot tub.  **Hydrotherapy:** Anyone who has used a hot tub before is familiar with the relaxing effect of the jets themselves, and their obvious benefits. Focused streams of water - with warmed air mixed within the flow - can provide a therapeutic massage that you can control, depending on how gentle or intense you want it to feel. Hot tubs are equipped with nozzles of various sizes, pressures, configurations, and quantities - all designed to target particular portions of your body.  Smaller groups of jets will hit pinpoint muscles around your neck.  Many jets will focus on certain portions of your back.  Larger flow jets will sweep up and down your entire back, just to the sides of your spine.  Tiny jets will spin around your wrists.  Other jets will aim for your calves, feet, or arms.  Like a trained masseuse, the spa's jets can soothe sore muscles any time you need.
