I have scoliosis which runs in my family. I’ve had it my whole life and now that I’m older, the inflammation around my joints and spine, especially mid to lower back, is something that was hard to live with. My Doctor recommended hot water. I took his advice and found some relief by taking baths daily. It wasn’t until I went to my cousins house last summer that I discovered just how much more I would benefit from a therapy spa hot tub compared to a regular bath. It has been a game changer for me. I have far less pain day to day. I was even able to reduce the amount of meds I take on a daily. I still take an anti inflammatory but at a smaller dose, AND I have almost completely stopped taking my pain pills! I cant tell you how much of a life changer this has been for me. My barefoot spas 88LP is outstanding, and I am also very glad I decided to get one as powerful and comfortable as the 88LP. I cant speak for the entire brand of Barefoot Spas hot tub. I did see some at the show where I purchased that looked far more basic and fewer jets, but if I had to rate the 88LP, it would be with 5 stars without a doubt. Amazing therapy!
