Hydrotherapy - Hot Tub
Healing
Everyday
stress can create muscle tension and restrict blood flow, causing headaches,
fatigue and soreness. And how we feel physically can affect our thoughts,
our moods, and our ability to enjoy life to the fullest.
A proven healer, hydrotherapy can diminish the effects of stress and
pain to help bring you into a state of calm relaxation. Doctors and physical
therapists prescribe hydrotherapy to relieve arthritis, short-term injuries,
and chronic pain. Hydrotherapy can also improve circulation, digestion,
and skin tone. It can even help you tone muscles & boost your metabolism,
using the natural resistance of jet-driven water.
So what makes hot tub therapy work?
Hot tub therapy works by first relieving the body's natural pressure from
gravity, then by stimulating the nerves and circulatory system. By further
applying movement and air bubbles to the hot water, the nerve impulses
work to enhance the body's immune system, increase circulation and digestion
and even lessen sensitivities.
There are three factors at work in a hot tub: heat, buoyancy
and massage
- Immersion in hot water raises the body temperature and causes the
blood vessels to dilate, resulting in increased circulation.
- The buoyancy of the water reduces body weight by approximately 90%,
relieving pressure on joints and muscles and creating the relaxing sensation
of weightlessness.
- The massaging action of a spa is created by sending a mixture of
water and air through jet nozzles. This "energized" stream
of water relaxes tight muscles and stimulates the release of endorphins,
the body's natural pain killers.
Who Needs Hydrotherapy?
Everyone! Soaking in the hot, swirling water of a spa leaves you feeling
both mentally and physically relaxed. Just spend ten minutes in a Comfort
Line Spa before bedtime can make it easier to drift into a deep restful
sleep.
And you thought hot tubs were only
decadent little pleasures! |
