Have You Thought of Including a Hot Tub In Your Retirement Plans?

Although travel is on many retirees wish-lists, depending on income, physical fitness, etc., every retirement plan is as different as the person retiring. For example, some retirees hope to spend hours every day in their garden. For others, getting fit, through regular outdoor activities, is a top priority, such as: tennis, basketball, bicycle or horseback riding.
However, while there’s lots to look forward to, an active retirement may come with a downside that can be easily minimized: there might be times when one’s back, neck, or shoulders will ache from all the activity. At Long Island Hot Tub, our staff finds that many retirees choose to install a hot tub just to ensure against this possibility.
Hot tub/spa “hydrotherapy” is clinically defined as:" The external use of water in the medical treatment of certain diseases, conditions and ailments." In short, hydrotherapy is the act of using water to treat everything from sore muscles to stress and even such things as arthritis.
There are many ways to install a hot tub, however, the main thing is just to have its soothing bubbling waters conveniently located. Some spas have superb jet therapy systems, such as Bullfrog Spas, for example. These allow users to personalize their hot tub with various interchangeable massaging spa seats to relieve tension and pain where it hurts on any particular day.
So, while the hot tub may not the vessel in which you’ll sail the seven seas, as you relax in it, you will be immersed in the bubbling soothing waters that support your retirement activities: be they traveling, gardening, tennis, horseback riding, golf, simple short evening walks, or climbing up to Machu Picchu.
Hot Tub Hydrotherapy
After hours on a cramped airplane and carrying luggage, the first thing you’ll do on returning home from traveling is turn on your spa.
Backyard Tennis Courts
After a day playing tennis, perhaps on a court created for your backyard by a design/build firm such as ours, relief for aching bones and muscles is steps away in your new spa.
Custom Spa Installations
This hot tub was an added feature to an existing backyard retreat. The key is to ensure it is installed correctly, safely, and in a way that enhances the overall aesthetic design of the backyard.
Gardening During Retirement
Whether you begin your retirement garden on your own, or have professionals do it, once you begin tending it, you will appreciate stepping into your hot tub afterwards to ease achy knee joints and shoulder muscles (hot tub is set into upper patio).
Spa Therapy
Even if starting the new career you always wanted is what retirement freedom means to you, the therapeutic bubbles of a spa at the end of each new workday will always be welcome.
