There are certain factors in creating a successful new bathroom. The first aspect to consider is what kind of bathroom are you trying to create?
Bathroom Facts
The average person will spend one and a half years of their lifetime in their bathroom according to research done in the United Kingdom.
Women spend an average of 1 year, 7 months, and 15 days longer in the bathroom than men. However men spend more time on the toilet than women do (an hour and 45 minutes every week, compared to an hour and 20 minutes a week for women).
The average Brit spends 62 days in a lifetime drying themselves off.
So when you take all this into account why do over 50% of people not consider planning and investing in refurbishing their bathroom?
Realizing your property’s potential
If you are thinking of adding some saleable value to your home and you don't want to undertake extreme construction projects, spend a little time on the 'smallest' room in your house.
Here at Springwave we want to show you that even a small bathroom can be transformed into a relaxing and sophisticated home spa.

Ageing is a part of life that we cannot control, but there are more and more ways that can help decrease the speed of the ageing process. One of the biggest signs of ageing that is normally forgotten about is our voice. The voice muscles, like all of our muscles need looking after, with many people over 65 suffering from voice problems and others left sounding older than they actually are.
Benefits of Hydrotherapy
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is the use of water to promote health and healing. By harnessing the effects of water on the body; buoyancy, warmth, and turbulence (hydro-massage), we are able to help reduce the effects of pain, stress and discomfort. Hydrotherapy is found to be especially beneficial for people with sports injuries, arthritis, aching joints, muscular pain, stress, stiffness, rheumatism, sciatica and general tiredness and aching brought on by modern living and much more besides.
How does it work?
When the body is immersed in water, it is as much as 80% lighter, removing pressure on the muscles, joints, ligaments and spine. The warmth of the water (or steam) causes the blood vessels to dilate (increase in diameter), which increases blood circulation around the body. Heat also enables the cells to more easily rid themselves of metabolic waste, which is replaced by oxygen and the body's natural nutrients. The movement of the water passing over the body gives direct and often immediate relief as it massages the muscles and joints. This is most especially noticeable in Whirlpools where the powerful jets massage the body. This direct stimulation relaxes the muscles in the area, so allowing the muscle or joint to de-stress. As the water massages areas of the body, endorphins are produced, which in turn further assist pain relief.
Massage has been shown to improve flexibility, increase circulation and provides generally restorative benefits. When you are in pain or under stress, chemical changes in your body can cause blood pressure and pulse rate to increase. The use of regular hydrotherapy treatments can help to reduce these symptoms by slowing down the process of stress reaction.
Hydrotherapy is also thought to also help regulate the body’s temperature by improving the efficiency of the body to perspire. This further helps the body remove toxins and can lead to a much improved skin appearance and healthy glow!
