I was in a hotel hot pool in Calistoga, Ca once and I was talking to a 90+ yo woman who said her family sends her up there for three months a year. Somewhere in the conversation I said, Gee, you must really like this place. She said, "well, for three months a year, nothing hurts". It was her yearly vacation from pain. Get a spa. Or, before you buy, go to a spa and try it out. bk
