My mother in law, now 83, swears the hot tub kept her from having the hip and knee replaced for several years. She used the hot tub daily to loosen the joints and she put off both of the surgery's 15 years.
She checked with her Orthopedic Surgeon prior to purchasing the hot tub. Back then if there was a specific type of swelling of the joint, the heat was not recommended. So much time has passed and that theory may have gone by the way side.
