Ten Signs You Deserve a Hot Tub (According to Science… Sort Of)

Life is stressful. Your muscles are tense. Your upper back sounds like a bag of microwave popcorn. At some point, the universe starts dropping hints – little signs you deserve a hot tub – and you can only ignore them for so long.

Not want. Deserve.

Here are ten everyday clues — backed by almost science, gentle psychology, and plain common sense — that it might be time to bring warm water and quiet into your life.

1. You’ve reheated your coffee three times today.

And still didn’t drink it. Your nervous system is waving a little flag that says: “Please… warm water.”

A pretty good hint it’s time for a hot tub?

When your life is busier than your coffee is hot.

2. Your shoulders haven’t been below ear level in months

Hydrotherapy can fix this. So can a vacation, but a spa is faster and doesn’t require airports.

3. You schedule “relaxation time” and then immediately forget to relax.

A hot tub doesn’t wait for your mood to cooperate.

You step in → your brain steps down.

4. Your family keeps talking about “quality time,” but no one agrees on what that actually means.

A spa solves this.

Everyone can sit, soak, and talk — without screens, debates, or someone wandering off for snacks.

5. Every muscle in your back has filed a complaint.

You can ignore them…but they’re unionized now.

Hydrotherapy: 1 Tension: 0

6. Your social life needs a boost, but stepping outside means negotiating with Canadian weather. Hard pass.

A spa turns your home into the hangout spot.

Friends will suddenly “be in the neighbourhood.”

7. You want to boost home value without doing a full renovation.

Good news: Canadians love homes with spas.

It’s an instant lifestyle upgrade — no demolition required. A spa is the upgrade that doesn’t involve drywall, dust, or a three-month detour through chaos.

Just warm water and instant curb appeal.

8. You haven’t felt truly warm since October.

A hot tub fixes this instantly. So does moving south, but the spa is easier and requires far less paperwork.

9. You know all your group chat’s drama, but can't remember your last offline moment.

A hot tub forces you to unplug.

Wet hands = no doomscrolling.

10. You read this list and thought: “This is uncomfortably accurate.”

If even one of these hit suspiciously close to home, take it as one of the clearest signs you deserve a hot tub – the real kind of self-care that doesn’t involve apps, timers, or pretending to meditate while thinking about groceries.

Your treatment plan: Warm water. Jets. Quiet. Repeat nightly.

Side effects may include better sleep, fewer complaints from your back, and people asking why you suddenly look peaceful for no apparent reason.
