Spa Additions
If you love your pool, but wish that you had a spa as well, one can be easily added.
If you’ve decided to do some renovations to really jazz up your pool, that’s the perfect time to add a brand new spa. Pool and Deck Concepts will guide you through the spa addition process, from initial concept through installation.
Not only is a spa an investment that increases your home’s value, but also an investment in your health and well-being. From physical to emotional and mental, the health benefits are numerous. Many owners state that they sleep better, have more energy and accomplish more.
“The research shows our ancestors got it right. It makes you feel better. It makes the joints looser. It reduces pain and it seems to have a somewhat prolonged effect that goes beyond the period of immersion,” says Bruce E. Becker, MD, director of the National Aquatics & Sports Medicine Institute at Washington State University in Spokane.
