For centuries, people have recognized the rejuvenating, healing powers of warm water. Today, Sundance Spas takes an innovative approach to the art of warm water healing, or hydrotherapy. Strategically placed jets, advanced heating systems and ergonomically correct seating work together to create an ideal place for practicing a variety of calming, comforting and healing routines. Spend just a few moments in your Sundance on a regular basis, and you're likely to experience less stress, improved circulation, better sleep, and fewer symptoms of arthritis and back pain. Over time, soaking in a Sundance becomes a healthy habit that feels good.
Hydrotherapy
The combination of heat, buoyancy and massage equals instant gratification in a Sundance. Jets massage muscles, joints and pressure points. The water's heat dilates blood vessels to increase blood flow to sore or damaged tissue. Buoyancy reduces body weight by 90 percent, alleviating pressure on joints and muscles. The three key elements of hydrotherapy join together to relieve symptoms of arthritis, repair damaged tissue, and calm frayed nerves.
It has been estimated that 75 to 90 percent of visits to physicians for primary care are related to stress.* Regular hydrotherapy can be an effective way to help relieve the symptoms of stress.

Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy has been used for centuries, when people discovered that the oils of plants, or plants mixed with oils, could combine to create therapeutic aromas and muscle relaxants. We now know that scents can trigger memories, influence moods and sharpen the mind.
Sundance Spas was the first manufacturer to combine true aroma with hydrotherapy with SunScentsT aromatherapy. This system also helps maintain water clarity, using air instead of liquid to infuse aromatic bubbles into the water.

Alternative Therapies
Water therapies, especially those involving warm water infused with deep massage, have healed people around the world for centuries. Today, Sundance continues the tradition. Color and light, scent, and specialized massage techniques promote relaxation, nourishing rejuvenation and healing. Each of these therapies works with the healing benefits of hydrotherapy: heat, buoyancy and massage.
Why try different therapeutic approaches? Sundance offers a wide range of jet and seating options in every spa: exploring differernt hydrotherapeutic techniques can help you discover new ways to get the most out of your spa sessions. Learn to target specific muscle groups or joints, find out which jet combinations are most relaxing, or simply enjoy a new experience, every day.
Reflexology
Reflexology involves the application of deep pressure to energy channels or "reflex points" in the hands and feet. The benefits go beyond comforting relief for just those areas.
Sundance jets can target specific pressure points used in reflexology. On some models, powerful foot jets massage all areas of the feet, which contain more than 7,000 nerve endings. Palm jets (on select models) pinpoint sensitive nerves and muscles in the hands and wrists, and can help alleviate the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Over 5,000 years ago in China, India and Egypt, specific points on patients' feet and hands were manipulated to affect healing in other parts of the body.
• Treatments are based on energy channels (qi or chi in Chinese and Japanese medicine, prana in Hindu) that flow through specific meridians or zones in the body.
• In the early 1800s, Dr. William Fitzgerald identified each channel's "reflex points" and their corresponding muscles, organs and functions and plotted detailed maps of the hands and feet.
• Reflexology is said to loosen calcium obstructions and free the nerve pathways.
• Relaxation is one of the goals in practicing reflexology.
Chromatherapy
Light has a profound effect on our moods and peace of mind. Just as we all need exposure to sunlight, we benefit from the specific properties of the individual colors in the spectrum. Each color has its own wavelength and energy vibration - and different effect on us.
Red: Stirs passion and desire for transformation.
Green: Creates a feeling of satisfaction with living in the moment.
Blue: Bestows a sense of tranquility, peacefulness and contentment.
Violet: Promotes feelings of intimacy.
Teal: Facilitates a balance of logic and emotion.
Purple: Invigorates creativity and appreciation of the arts.
Massage
Warm water massage performs the ultimate spa mission: relaxing muscles, relieving pressure on nerves, and reducing the effects of stress. It boosts circulation and accelerates the body's natural healing process. Sundance Spas has engineered every hot tub with jets, controls and seating working together in a "comfort-zone system" for the ultimate in hydro-massage therapy.
• Jets: Effective hydrotherapy depends on jet type and placement, not necessarily number. Sundance Spas installs unique jets to deliver different kinds of therapy and massage variations, from deep-muscle Swedish massage to refined, Shiatsu-like action.
• Controls: The massage selectors on a Sundance hot tub are conveniently located to allow you to change the jet air pressure and flow.
• Seating: Sitting in different seats allows you to experience a variety of massage types for various parts of your body from wrists to the spine. Sundance Spas ergonomic seating puts you in the perfect position, whether it's a relaxing in the full-body lounge seat, Accu-Ssage Therapy Seat, or the soaking seat.
Watsu
Watsu combines water with Shiatsu, a form of Japanese "finger pressure" massage applied to the body zones defined by chi, or the body's energy channels. Watsu was developed in 1980 by Harold Dull, who traveled to Japan to study Zen Shiatsu, a form of massage using stretches and touchpoints to release blockages. Back in America, Dull promoted the benefits of performing Shiatsu moves and stretches in warm water. Watsu, like reflexology, can enhance feelings of well-being and relaxation.
A warm spa (95 to 97 degrees F or 35 to 37 degrees C) is a perfect environment for a Watsu aquatic bodywork session. Floating in water supported by the Watsu practitioner, the Watsu receiver passes into a state of complete relaxation as gentle stretching is applied to specific points.
