warm soak

Hot tub session

A warm soak is time spent immersed in warm water for relaxation or therapeutic benefit: A warm soak in the tub eased her aching muscles.

The phrase emphasizes temperature and duration—not a quick rinse but a sustained bath.

It can refer to the activity itself or the water prepared for it: I'm going to draw myself a warm soak.
