Help and advice
A whirlpool bath has jets built into the walls of the bath. These jets pump a mixture of water and air into the bath to create a rigorous hydro massage. A spa bath has nozzles in the base of the bath which release air bubbles into the water for a gentle massage.
Whirlpool baths tend to be easier to keep clean as a cleaning solution can be passed through the pipework. Most spa systems can only be cleaned with a long soak in a cleaning solution.
Although many people state hydrotherapy has helped ease their aches and pains, stress and/or arthritis, the medical benefits of hydrotherapy are not clear and you should seek the advice of a medical professional (such as your G.P.) as to whether hydrotherapy may help you.
