When you exercise, your muscles develop thousands of microscopic tears, and lactic acid builds up in each muscle, leading to fatigue and soreness. As the cells rebuild, each tear becomes slightly stronger than that part of the muscle had been prior to exercise. When your muscles aren't used to exercising, you can overdo it, or a sudden motion puts unusual stress on a muscle, the microscopic tears are larger, the lactic acid build up is greater, and your muscles can feel uncomfortable, or even painful.

Resting for a couple of days can certainly help complete the healing process. There is also another way to ease the pain and even accelerate the natural healing process; the warm massaging action of a well designed portable spa pool. The increased blood flow caused by relaxing in a spa carries lactic acid away from the muscles faster, easing fatigue. As tense muscles relax, pressure releases on the surrounding nerves and blood vessels, aiding in pain relief.

Hydrotherapy treatment can help alleviate muscle pulls, strains and many other athletic injuries. You don't have to be an athlete to enjoy the benefits of a warm therapeutic massage of a portable spa pool
