Rejuvenate with the healing benefits of at-home alternative spa therapy.
Water therapies involving warm water infused with deep massage have healed people around the world for centuries. Sundance hot tubs take this healing tradition to a new level by incorporating color, light, scent, music, and specialized hydromassage techniques into your hydrotherapy sessions.
Sundance hot tubs are perfect for experiencing the benefits of alternative hot tub therapy such as reflexology, chromatherapy and watsu.
• Reflexology: Hydromassage directed to pressure points in the feet can stimulate positive energy channels in other parts of the body. The foot jets in many of their models are ideal for the massaging foot work involved in Reflexology.
• Chromatherapy: Tap into the effects associated with specific colors to benefit the body and spirit. The multi-colored SunGlow lighting in 880 Series spas, as well as the colored lights in the 780 and 680 Series (optional) hot tubs, cast a spectrum of mood-enhancing shades.
• Watsu: A combination of the words "Water" and "Shiatsu," watsu uses gentle movement and acupressure to encourage relaxation and energy flow. The healing art of watsu can be practiced in our large hot tubs.

Sleep Benefits of Hot Tubs: Whether it's difficulty falling asleep or episodes of waking up and being unable to easily go back to sleep during the night, you probably experience a less-than-good night's sleep from time to time. When lack of sleep becomes a chronic problem, it can start to affect you in many ways.
How important is a restful night's sleep?
Studies show that:
• Sleep helps the brain commit new information to memory.
• Chronic sleep loss affects the way the body processes and stores carbohydrates, which may lead to weight gain.
• Poor sleep can contribute to accidents while driving.
• Lack of sleep can make you irritable, and make it hard to concentrate.
• Serious sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension.
• Eventually, chronic sleep loss can diminish the disease-fighting capabilities of the immune system.
Learning to relax in preparation for a good night's sleep can help improve the chances of falling, and staying asleep. Hydrotherapy by Sundance Spas helps ease tension and promote relaxation. Heat loosens constricted blood flow. Buoyancy reduces body weight by up to 90%, relieving pressure on joints and muscles. And massage helps to work out stiffness and muscle soreness.
Sundance hydrotherapy also stimulates the production of endorphins, which naturally block pain and stress signals from reaching the brain. Their effects can linger after your spa session has ended, too, so you feel more content, and ready to sleep.
Sundance jets provide many massage variations that can help you release feelings of stress. Patented, adjustable, Fluidix Nex jets, for example, pinpoint the neck muscles, where many people experience tension. You can opt for high- or low-level massaging action with these, and many other, Sundance jets.
You may also want to try using aromatherapy fragrances, in select spas, to help induce a restful state. Certain fragrances, such as Summer Rain from the SunScents aromatherapy collection, have qualities that calm the mind and enhance relaxation.

Hot Tub Stress Relief: Sundance hydrotherapy can be an effective way to reduce the effects of stress on a consistent, day-to-day basis. Spa stress relief starts simply: a warm water massage in a Sundance makes you feel good! What better reward after a hard day than sinking into your Sundance hot tub and letting the combination of heat, buoyancy, and massage, or hydrotherapy, help you relax? Sundance hydrotherapy also has the power to bring about positive physical changes that can alleviate stress.
* Effective hydrotherapy increases blood circulation, which can help relieve tension headaches caused by stress.
* Massaging jets, such as our patented Fluidix Nex jets, can directly soothe tightness in stress-prone areas, like the neck and shoulders.
* Warm, massaging water helps stimulate the body's natural production of endorphins, which reduce feelings of pain and anxiety.
Just owning a Sundance gives you a reason to take time out of your busy schedule on a regular basis, relieve stress, and reconnect with those close to you. A Sundance spa can be a great place to discuss the day's events in a calming environment, free from distractions. With extras like stereos and mood-enhancing aromatherapy available, Sundance gives you more ways to relax and retreat from daily stress.
