Arthritis Benefits
Millions of Americans suffer needlessly from some type of arthritis. Whether it’s osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or just painful, stiff joints, all arthritis causes inflammation leading to swelling, pain and stiffness resulting in limited mobility.
For relief, arthritis sufferers often turn to the soothing comforts of a hot tub. Warm, massaging water provides relief instantly as heat relaxes the muscle, massage targets the pain and buoyancy takes the pressure off injured joints. It’s the perfect place to exercise, relax and feel better fast from the comforts of home.
Sleep Benefits of Hot Tubs
According to a study in the scientific journal Sleep, a drop in body temperature can help to ease the body into a relaxing and sound sleep
About an hour and a half before bedtime, a 15 minute soak in the hot tub (103F degrees) can promote a deep, restful sleep. After using the hot tub, your core body temperature drops which causes sleep to come quickly and naturally.
Using a hot tub for relaxation is a natural, effective way to feel better and promote a deep, restful sleep without the use of prescription drugs. It’s safe and convenient and there are no dangerous side effects or adverse effects that are often common with alternative sleeping aids.
The National Sleep Foundation conducted a poll and found that approximately 132 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders including mild to chronic insomnia, pauses in breathing and snoring.
The poll found that 48 percent of women and 38 percent of men suffer from insomnia more than one night a week. This number is on the rise as evidenced by the growing number of sleep disorder centers across the nation (approximately 3,000 in the U.S. today).
According to a sleep therapy center in Louisville, Ky., insomnia is the second most prevalent reason people go to the doctor (after pain).
The Hydro massage Experience
Hydro massage benefits come from the combination of three factors: heat, massage and buoyancy. Working together, these three conditions create the ultimate hydro massage experience.
Immersing the body completely in the heated water of a hot tub raises core body temperature which increases blood circulation. Buoyancy reduces almost 90 percent of body weight, which creates a floating sensation, taking pressure off muscles and joints.
Targeted massage penetrates deep beneath the skin through a variety of jet nozzles. It’s the powerful and “energized” stream of water that works to loosen tight muscles, stimulating endorphins; the body’s feel good hormones.
