Benefits of Hot Tub Therapy

Post by Jordan Toplen

It’s hard to think of anything more relaxing than hot tub therapy. If you are looking at having your own hot tub at home, you are probably looking for more information about hot tub therapy and how it benefits you. While regularly soaking in a fixed or inflatable hot tub  is in no way a cure-all for illnesses, and any health decision you make must first be consulted with a physician, having your own spa or hot tub at home helps you in a number of ways.

How Does Hot tub Therapy Work?

Hot tub therapy is a method that aims to renew physical and mental health through immersion in warm water. This form of therapy has been practiced for hundreds of years. As the benefits of soaking in warm water were recognized more, the practice and the technology have evolved into the modern hot tubs that we know today.

This therapy works by relaxing muscles and improving blood flow, which effectively eases pain. Also, water buoyancy reduces a person’s body weight by as much as 90% so the pressure on joints and on any inflamed part of the body is reduced, while the mind is put at ease.

Today’s hot tubs and spas come with hydro jet systems that you can adjust to target specific areas of the body. You can also control the level of pressure that comes out of the jets so you can always get the right level of therapy that your body needs.

Hot tub Therapy Benefits

Relaxation – The warm water relaxes muscles, helps to unwind your mind and eases feelings of anxiety and worry. It helps you sleep better, which is ideal for people who are suffering from bouts of insomnia.

Stress Relief – Regularly soaking in a hot tub provides effective stress relief. You do not think about work, deadlines and other matters that bring you stress. The only thing you think about is how good the warm water feels. The massaging sensation also helps release endorphins in your brain, which improves your mood.

Massage – Massage therapy is proven to have numerous physical and mental health benefits. It provides a relaxing response in your nervous system and helps with lymph and blood circulation, allowing oxygen to flow more freely throughout your body.
