Sinking into a hot tub after a tiring day is, indeed, one of the most relaxing things ever. Hydrotherapy is indeed helpful for your physical state. It helps relieve and relax sore muscles and can speed-up injury healing. It also offers you mental relaxation.

To pick the right one, you should know about the different types of hot tubs:

• Portable
  You can opt for a portable hot tub if you like choices in color, size, seating configurations, and features. It is the classic hot tub that most people have in mind when they think of a hot tub. These came into existence right after the popularity of the wood hot tubs. Such hot tubs are permanent and durable, and they’re highly energy-efficient and assure great performance and reliability as compared to the other types of hot tubs. They can be moved from one location to another, but they’re not lightweight and will need quite some work to move. Besides, you’ll require a special pad to hold their weight.
• Wood
  These are simplistic hot tubs and are highly customizable, and you can get them designed as per your DIY instructions concerning the heating sources and dimensions. Initially, wooden hot tubs had a wood fire for the heat. You can opt for the traditional rustic approach or stick to the modern gas or electric heating options.
• Rotationally molded
  If you seek hydrotherapy on a budget, these are a good pick for you. Honestly, not everyone can afford a high-end hot tub, but that shouldn’t stop you from having fun. These hot tubs are not lightweight, but they are top-class in durability and functionality. Usually, these weigh a little under 300 pounds, so moving them around, though difficult, will not be impossible. One of the best aspects of this hot tub is the contoured seating that lets you relax in your most comfortable position. Sadly, they’re not energy-efficient, and their plastic appearance may not appeal to many. However, if you care to see beyond looks and want a tub that assures a relaxing warm bath, this is a perfect choice.
• Exercise or swim spa
  These are ideal for a specialized room or a deck where you have an adequate place to exercise or swim. They’re on the heavier side and need a robust foundation for placement. Also, you can easily exercise or swim in them, which is ideal if you’re planning to get back in shape. That said, these types of hot tubs are expensive and gigantic, so you will need a lot of dedicated space to accommodate them. Also, they come with high operating costs.
