Sundance hot tubs are perfect for experiencing the benefits of reflexology, chromatherapy and watsu.

Unblock the flow of energy with Sundance reflexology jet-action.
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. Reflexology is said to loosen calcium obstructions and free the nerve pathways; one of its goals is to bring about relaxation.
• Used over 5,000 years ago in China, India and Egypt
• Manipulates specific points on patients' feet and hands to affect healing in other
parts of the body
• 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
• Dr. William Fitzgerald, in the early 1800s, identified each channel’s “reflex points”
and their corresponding muscles, organs and functions and plotted detailed maps
of the hands and feet
Reflexology in a Sundance.
Sundance jets can target specific pressure points used in reflexology. Powerful foot jets massage all areas of the feet, which contain more than 7,000 nerve endings. The Reflexology foot dome on selected models contains jets that are perfectly positioned to reach the sensitive areas of the feet.
Jets for the wrists and palms, on selected models, pinpoint nerves and muscles in the hands and wrists to loosen tension and ease blocked energy. The jet action can also help alleviate the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Sundance lights the way to good feelings.
Light and color have 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.
The varieties of multi-colored in-spa lighting on different Sundance Spas models can help to create a soothing environment, a place to go for rejuvenation. The acrylic and cabinet colors of your hot tub play an important role in establishing the atmosphere in your backyard. Consider planting colorful flowers, using brightly colored furniture and a spa umbrella, or surrounding your Sundance with shady trees. You really can set the mood with color!

Ease tension with 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. It is practiced in therapeutic clinics and spas throughout the world.
