These are natural springs of hot water, not warmed by electric heaters. They are heated by underground geothermal heat. It was once believed that the warm waters that occur naturally around the world had healing properties.

President Franklin Roosevelt used to travel to Warm Springs, Georgia to bathe in the hot springs there as he thought they would help him with his polio. He had heard that a man swimming there was healed of polio so he bought property in Warm Springs with natural warm springs to swim in. Unfortunately, the warm water did not heal him, but it did relieve discomfort he experienced in his legs. The warm waters certainly soften and relax the muscles, promoting relaxation.

It is much the same principle as swimming in a heated pool for a session of hydrotherapy massage. If you are at a spa, get a massage right after you get out of the hot springs. It will be unlike any other massage you have ever had. Take the time to try out one of the Colorado hot springs if you get the opportunity.
