Massage 

Many high-quality spas come with powerful jets that help massage your major muscle groups, including those in your lower back. The jets knead out knots and tension found in your back leading to a relaxing relief. It can also provide comfort from over-tightness especially if you take a soak early in the morning or at night.   

Heat 

When you combine heat with a massage, the results can create a big difference throughout your body. As you dip into a hot tub, your body temperature will naturally rise. This rise in body heat leads to more circulation, improved blood flow and more relaxation. The more your muscles relax, the less pain you are in.
