The Benefits of Hydrotherapy

The hot tub may seem like a relatively new concept, but the remarkable effects of Hydrotherapy can be traced back to the ancient Romans and Greeks who cleverly exploited the natural springs beneath the ground for social and health benefits.

What is Hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy is the medicinal use of water for positive health benefits. These health benefits come from the mechanical and thermal effects of water interacting with the body. It includes the use of physical water properties, specifically temperature and pressure, and sometimes the delivery of minerals or herbal treatments to manipulate the body’s flow of blood, the endocrine system and associated neural systems in order to treat the symptoms of certain diseases.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy can help relieve pain, promote relaxation, mobilise joints, strengthen muscles, develop balance and coordination, and improve general fitness.

  • Muscular relaxation and decreased muscle spasm.
  • Decreased pain due to warmth and support.
  • Gravity is countered by buoyancy.
  • Increased muscle strength and endurance due to the greater resistance in water.
  • Improvement in swelling, due to hydrostatic pressure.
  • Enhanced balance and stabilisation.
  • Improved enjoyment and confidence to move better.

The warmth increases circulation, reduces muscle spasm, and helps to relieve pain. Patients do not need to be able to swim in order to benefit from Aquatic Physiotherapy. Aquatic Physiotherapy may be used alone or in conjunction with other rehabilitation programs. An aquatic program is often a stepping stone for patients to progress onto gym or land based exercise programs. The rehabilitation program can also include appropriate exercises to maintain fitness, while recovering from sports injuries or orthopaedic surgery.

There’s much more to hot tubs than meets the eye, the health benefits are real and its our job to prove it.

We currently have 2 spas running in our showroom, please get in contact and we can arrange a wet test for you to come and see for yourself if you’re not already convinced!

What Our Customers Say

We had our Fiji spa installed today and can’t fault the guys from EJ Payne at all. When ever we’ve had questions they’ve got back to us straight away. Jake and the guys who came to install today were excellent, we had a problem with the access to the rear of our property but they soon solved the issue without any fuss or stress to us. We were recommended to EJ Payne by family who have also purchased a spa, as they too had a great experience from purchase to delivery and beyond. If your going to buy a spa then don’t hesitate to use EJ Payne. You can purchase our spa from lots of companies but I’m sure not many could match their dedication to customer service. We 100% recommend Thanks again Sarah & Phil

Used E.J.Payne in the summer for a starter chemical kit as everywhere was out of stock, definitely should have tried here straight away and will do in the future, great customer service and quick service box and ready for me to pick up straight away.

After not using my hot tub since September I decided to shut it down for the winter. When making my initial enquiry Ricky was really helpful with advice, (I had lost power supply to the tub) they were able to come out to me within a few days as I was concerned about pipes freezing. Alex came out to complete the shut down. Again he was really helpful, great customer service, I have used hot tub companies before but would highly recommend this company and will definitely will using them again. Thank you guys 😁

Fantastic service. Came and fitted our fiji hot tub in the summer. Had it all running in a few hours. Jake was knowledgable and gave me a tutorial on how to operate it and maintain it. Best thing I have ever bought. Nothing beats sitting in a hot tub at night watching the stars. It’s an investment for your well-being and you deserve it. Buy one.

Ricky and the team have been absolutely great from the day we made our first contact to enquire about buying a tub in April 2020. The level of service and aftersales care is second to non and I would (and already have) recommend them to anyone looking for genuine advice about hot tubs and pools. Keep up the good work guys.

The first time I contacted E.J. Payne in early Aug 2020 I spoke to Jake who was very helpful and I arranged to go to the shop to view a hot tub. Jake explained everything to me. Purchase included site check, delivery, installation and a chemical starter kit. Alex and Dan delivered and installed our hot tub, we needed a crane, which they arranged. It all went very smoothly without any issues.I also had a handrail installed by Rick. At a later date Dan came and checked the tub for us as there was something I wasn't sure of. The whole experience from first contact has been excellent, I can highly recommend E.J Payne Leisure.

We took delivery of our HTS Neptune this week and the service we received from start to finish was exceptional. We wanted to buy a hot tub locally and after speaking to Jake in the shop who helped us chose the right spa for us and our budget we were kept informed of the progress with our order. On delivery day the installation team rang us a couple of times to let me know when they would arrive and were very professional and friendly. Can't recommend E.J. Payne highly enough. The hot tub is amazing. Thanks

We’ve had our hot tub installed today and we can’t fault the lads at E.J. Payne. Always very responsive to messages and willing to answer any queries along the way. The installation was smooth and the lads were fab- they know their stuff! They were very professional and very friendly. We’ve been told numerous times that they are only a phone call away if we need any help along the way with the new tub, which has given us peace of mind. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting a hot tub.

Fantastic service throughout! From my initial conversation with Jake to aftercare nothing has been too much trouble.

Our hot tub was delivered 27th May (sorry for the delay of my review).Ricky was a pleasure to deal with, confident in his products and his knowledge is excellent.We originally went looking at the HTS Mars as I was convinced I wanted two loungers, however I’m looking at other tubs and with Ricky’s knowledge after telling him our dreams, wants needs we ended up with an Artic Spa Cub.We are over the moon with our purchase, and it looks stunning. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone to E J Payne for a hot tub. Excellent customer service, had a few questions over the last couple of weeks and Ricky has been more than happy to assist where he could, even to the point of sorting me out a new filter as I wanted to change the disposable one for a pleated so I could use foam away chemical.Thanks Ricky & team for an experience that will stay with us for a while. I attach some pics of tub through the weeks.

E.J. Payne and staff were brilliant from walking into the shop, getting advice, to being kept in the loop during the epidemic down to the pretty impressive arrival of the 'BEAST!' Jake and Dan worked tirelessly to get our tub installed even though the weather was against them!professional from start to finish, well done guys and thankyou.

So pleased with our new hot tub from E J Payne. Nothing was too much trouble and Jake was friendly, professional and so knowledgeable in helping us choose the right hot tub. He also helped with the selling of our old hot tub and was always in contact. Also, a special mention to Mark who helped to fit the hot tub with Jake. He made sure that everything was working and correct before he left and would not leave until we were satisfied. Would highly recommend E J Payne. Thank you!

From the minute we walked in to the showroom we were made to feel so welcome , no pushy salesman just friendly and helpful. Our hot tub was ordered on the Saturday and now nearly a week later our children are sitting in it having the best of fun . Our experience with E.J Payne especially Jake has been so pleasant they are nothing but friendly and so helpful. Would highly recommend. Thankyou so much 😊

We bought our hot tub in April from EJ Payne and I must say we did shop around as north as Blackpool and as south as Birmingham looking at hot tubs as a big financial commitment. However the first place we went was EJ Payne and met Jake who came across as honest, knowledgable and they say people buy from people and this is true in this case. So after several weeks of looking around we felt pulled to Jake and going back. Very professional and friendly and jake has looked after us from start to finish always picking up the phone even at the house during installation. Credit to the company. Highly recommend and although my sister already has a hot tub will be using you guys for services from now on based on our experience. Also would like to add the it was Jake that recommended a wet test and although a little shy with my husband in the shop highly worth while as no surprise bought the one we wet tested.

I well and truly researched hot tub companies as there seems to be a lot of cowboys around. This isn’t the case with Hot Tubs Staffordshire, they are the utmost professionals paying 100% attention to customer satisfaction. From home visits to out of hours queries they are absolutely faultless. Old fashioned customer service with a bang up to date company. Highly recommended 👍

Wow. Hot tub just been installed by two great guys. From the moment I walked into the showroom and started talking to Jake I knew this was the place I was going to purchase my hot tub from. Nothing was too much trouble. All the advice you could ask for, excellent prices, excellent delivery and fitting All round 11 out of 10. Do not commit to buying a tub until you have visited their showroom. It WILL BE the best decision you will have ever made. Thanks guys, just waiting for it to warm up then a test drive

We wanted a quality hot tub supplied a quality supplier. We looked at a few suppliers but when we met with Ricky we were really impressed with the apparent straightforward approach. Now I'm a sceptic and feel that talk can be cheap but I can honestly say that the ordering, the organisation of delivery and installation, the installation and after sales service have been exceptional. I cannot recommend highly enough this family company and would urge anyone wishing to buy a hot tub to at the very least take the trouble to visit EJPayne as it's a major investment and you want both a quality product and installer.

I would highly recommend this company from when we first visited them we knew instantly that we'd found not only the right tub but the right company too. We'd been to a few others but we felt that everything was so genuine and friendly about this company. Richard was outstanding his support and advice was excellent he was not pushy at all and was so helpful. I can quite honestly say that I know if we have any questions Richard will only be a phone call away. We would just like to say thank you so much for your support on everything.

We had been considering a hot tub spa for quite a while and visited other local suppliers before we visited E.j Payne and dealt with Richard who was very informative,passionate and obliging nothing was too much trouble for him.After this visit we instantly had the confidence to place an order for a Arctic Spa Yukon which was delivered and installed in the most professional way being overseen by Richard every step of the way giving us novices total peace of mind and he followed up the installation with a further visit after a few days.We have now had it for nearly two weeks and can not express in words how pleased we are in every way and there has not been a night that we have not been in it.I would personally recommend Richard and his team for anyone considering a purchase as they are a very genuine one stop shop of fantastic people.Thank you from the Frearson family
