Best Hot Tubs’ clients are well aware of the fun and relaxation benefits of spas. But recent scientific studies are showing that there are also remarkable health benefits, actual rejuvenation, associated with a spa’s warm water hydrotherapy.
Lowering Blood Pressure
For example, these studies say that spending time in a hot tub can lower blood pressure.
For while participating subjects in studies experienced decreased blood pressure when immersed in water of all temperatures, the effect of lowered blood pressure was shown to last much longer for those who soaked in a hot tub — that is, in warm water immersion.
Circulatory Health
It’s also fairly widely reported that hot tubs improve heart and circulatory health.
Studies show that water immersion helps the circulatory system to operate more efficiently. This effect can be beneficial to all people, and is especially helpful to individuals who experience decreased circulation due to diabetes and other ailments.
Muscle Health
Hot tubs also improve joint health, say experts.
Spending time in a hot tub can decrease pain and help improve flexibility by decreasing the effects of gravity, increasing blood flow, and by lessening the pull of tight muscles on sore joints.
Hot Tubs and Weight Loss
No kidding. While warm water immersion and hot tubs are not substitutes for a healthy regime, taking a spa soak — or hydrotherapy — does support such healthy habits.
This is partly because scientific studies make clear that the sense of well-being one gets from hydrotherapy contributes to not needing as much to eat because of feeling more content.
Plus, because the hydrotherapy improves anyone’s cardiovascular performance, we find exercising easier to do. More on that with our first photo below.
So….to wrap up….
Spas/Improving Muscle Health: Hot tubs improve muscle health. Soaking in a hot tub loosens stiff muscles and reduces soreness. Increased blood flow to the muscles also aids in healing injuries and recovery after intense workouts.
Improving Nervous System Health: Hot tubs improve nervous system health because they balance the opposing functions within the nervous system – the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Hot water therapy reduces the effect of the sympathetic nervous system, which is the major cause of harmful stress, say experts.
Spa Therapy/Nervous System: The positive effects of hot water therapy on the nervous system have actually been observed long after the individual actually leaves the water, showing that hot tubs help produce long term benefits that include lowered stress, relaxation, and a sense of well being. All this contributes to contentment and a lesser appetite as well as restorative strength that encourages exercising!
