Over the past decade, interest in the benefits of hydrotherapy has grown significantly. Advancements in technology have led to innovative products that allow homeowners to enjoy these benefits at home, which include everything from stress relief and improved circulation to muscle recovery and enhanced sleep quality.
What are the key benefits of incorporating hydrotherapy elements, like jetted spa baths, saunas, and steam rooms, into a home wellness routine?
“Incorporating hydrotherapy elements into your home is all about creating a space where you can unwind and disconnect from the stress of daily life. Whether it’s a jetted spa bath at the end of a long day or a sauna session to reset your mind, these features bring a luxurious, hotel-like experience right into your home. For our clients—especially those with busy schedules—it’s about having a personal sanctuary: a place to recharge physically and mentally without leaving the house.” – Deon Katzen, owner of Bella Bathrooms & Tiles
How can someone choose between a jetted spa bath, sauna, or steam room based on their individual wellness goals and space limitations?
“If your wellness goals include relaxation, stress relief, or muscle recovery, a jetted spa bath can be a great addition to your home. For unwinding after a long day, opt for a model with adjustable jets that target key tension areas like the back, neck, and legs. If you’re focused on muscle recovery or pain relief, choose a bath with stronger, more focused hydrotherapy or air jets. And if space is limited, consider a compact or corner jetted spa bath to enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy without compromising on room.” – Nicole Russell, Italtile marketing manager
Are there any specific health conditions that can be improved or alleviated with regular use of these hydrotherapy features?
“One of the most common reasons our clients invest in hydrotherapy features—especially saunas—is stress relief. Regular sauna sessions can have a powerful calming effect on both the body and mind. The dry heat helps relax tense muscles, reduce cortisol levels, and improve overall mood. It’s like pressing a reset button after a long, stressful day. Many of our homeowners say their sauna becomes a personal escape—a quiet space to slow down, breathe, and completely disconnect from the outside world. It’s not just about luxury; it’s about mental wellness.” – Deon Katzen, owner of Bella Bathrooms & Tiles
What are the latest trends in hydrotherapy design for home installations, and how have these technologies evolved to enhance user experience?
“Current trends in hydrotherapy design are focused on personalisation. One of the most notable innovations is the integration of various jet types within a single bath, allowing for a tailored therapeutic experience. Some jets provide a firm, invigorating massage ideal for deep muscle relief, while others offer a gentler, fingertip-like sensation designed to soothe and relax. This blending of intensities allows users to customise their hydrotherapy sessions according to their individual needs and preferences.” – Glenn Varrie, marketing director at Summer Place Spas & Baths
Why are rain showers becoming a popular wellness trend, and how do they compare to traditional shower setups?
“Rain showers are becoming a wellness trend because they offer a soothing, spa-like experience that helps reduce stress and promote relaxation. Unlike traditional showerheads, which have a strong, focused spray, rain showers provide a gentle, even flow of water that feels like a soft, refreshing rainfall. This coverage creates a calming experience, perfect for unwinding after a long day. With their luxurious feel, rain showers bring the indulgence of a high-end spa right to your bathroom.” – Nicole Russell, Italtile marketing manager
