Are Spas/Hot Tubs Good for You?
Hydrotherapy has been part of civilised life for thousands of years with the Romans especially expanding its use. Technical advances these days make it possible for us all to experience that feel-good factor as they did, with spas now widely available throughout the world.
Positive Effects
The principal effect of hydrotherapy is water buoyancy, its optimum temperature (37-39°C) and aimed water flow. Hydrotherapy strengthens blood circulation, decreases blood pressure, improves skin tones, relaxes muscles and stimulates the immune system. It beneficially affects the human psyche as well as eliminating anxiety, tension and depression. When relaxing in a spa, the brain releases endorphins that ease pain, have an overall relaxing effect and induce a good mood.
Relaxation
When in the spa you will experience the feeling of weightlessness, the joints take a rest from the continuous effects of gravity since the body weight is decreased by 85-90% in the water. The immersion of the body into a hot spa soothes and relaxes the body while the activity of the internal organs becomes slower - that is the thermal effect of hydrotherapy. The physical effect of hydrotherapy is short and long-term pain relief. The spas hydrotherapy benefits for rehabilitation after physical sport and a soak along with a massage diminishes lactic acid that can build up in the body causing stiffness and pain. New research shows that hot tub bathing can also assist with weight loss.
Therapy
A spa also has a healing benefit - apart from other things, it helps in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatic pain. People suffering from painful joints are recommended to have a morning soak in a hot tub prior to commencing their daily activities. Positive effects of hydrotherapy on the health of people suffering from Type II Diabetes have been recently discovered. The regular use of a spa can even help avoid problems with insomnia.
Massage Systems
Whilst water massage has more of a deep tissue massage character, affecting the relaxation of muscles and joints, air massage has a soft tissue impact with effects on skin receptors. The air jets have up to 135 outlets - model dependant - through which soothing air bubbles are delivered into the water. Air massage transmits the relaxing vibrations into the whole body.
Toxins are released through perspiration from the skin which is great for the body, it can take up to 20 minutes to cool down when exiting spa even in our winters..co.uk
