Hot Tubs – Promoting Wellness and Overall Health through Hydrotherapy
Water has played a major role in healing and alleviating pain since ancient times. In fact, the early Egyptians practiced hydrotherapy by soaking their body in scented warm baths, while the Romans created bath houses or communal pools that resemble the modern health spas and hot tubs in many ways. It has been proved that soaking in warm water improves overall health, as it helps to enhance blood circulation and stimulate the production of endorphins – endorphins are our body’s natural pain killers and also help to promote well-being.
Hydrotherapy was further enhanced in the early 19th century by integrating the element of massage in the form of water pressure to provide a more soothing experience. And because of the continuous advancement of our technology, people can now practice hydrotherapy inside their home through the use of hot tubs on a daily basis. Recent medical studies revealed the unique benefits of hydrotherapeutic massage in alleviating pain and treating diseases, and these are because of these different features:
● Buoyancy: the water lifts 90% of body weight which relieves pressure in the spine and joint stress. In fact, the buoyant effect of water is more effective than sitting or lying down.
● Warm Water: the warm water helps to alleviate muscle and joint pain by enhancing the natural production of endorphins (especially when combined with therapeutic water massage), as the heat also works to improve blood flow inside the body and diminish inflammation.
● Water jets: The massaging jets help to loosen up tight muscles and give a unique feeling of relaxation. It also helps to promote the body’s natural healing process to recover from different kinds of injuries.
