Hydrotherapy has been used for thousands of years to help people feel better. Putting together three of nature’s most powerful relieving agents: heat, water, and air, it invigorates and gently massages the body while easing away aches and pains.
Heated Seats – Sit back and enjoy, the heated seat helps you to relax and enjoy your experience.
Heated Water Jets – The heated water jet massage allows you to obtain a powerful and deep massage aimed at a specific area of your body, relaxing the muscles from everyday tension. It also has a repairing effect after intensive training, workouts, or muscular injury.
Warm Air Massage – Heat relaxes our body and makes us more receptive to the benefits of the massage, and the movement of air that activates blood circulation. These actions create a therapeutic effect and offer us physical relaxation, relieving sore muscles and pain related to arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatism, and other health issues.
Aromatherapy – Using natural oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots, or other parts of a plant to enhance psychological and physical well-being.
Light therapy – Color therapy works by using specific colors to balance and harmonize the energy in our bodies. According to color therapy principles, each color corresponds to a specific energy center, or chakra, in our body. By exposing ourselves to certain colors, we can stimulate or calm these energy centers, promoting healing and balance.
03 Water Jet Sanitizer – A cleaning process to clear the pipes of your massage system after use. An ozone generator is attached to the air supply for the whirlpool jets. Ozone is a 100% safe, natural chemical that is a very effective sanitizer.
After 3 minutes – Your blood pressure and pulse rates begin to drop.
After 6 minutes – Your circulation improves in your hands and feet making them feel warmer.
After 8 minutes – Your muscles relax, and tissues become more pliable and responsive to stretching, encouraging the release of lactic acid and other toxins from your system.
After 10 minutes – Your minor aches and pains will experience a dramatic decrease in severity as your body releases endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
A study by the New England Journal of Medicine (9/12/10) found that hydrotherapy is particularly beneficial for arthritis sufferers. 139 patients with chronic arthritis were randomly assigned to receive hydrotherapy, land exercise, or progressive relaxation.
Patients attended 30-minute sessions twice weekly for four weeks. Hydrotherapy patients soaking in walk-in-tubs showed significantly greater improvement in joint tenderness and the range of movement in their knees than the other patients.
The report concluded that although all patients experienced some benefit, “Hydrotherapy in walk-in-tubs produces the greatest improvements”, and the researcher stated that there is clear evidence of the benefits of hydrotherapy for arthritis sufferers to support the continued use of the therapy as an effective treatment. The benefit is that, because of the warm water, the range of movement is greater and therefore more effective to the weakened areas.
Reduce Stress and Relax: Swirling warm water helps your brain to relax while washing away anxiety.
Sleep Better: By immersing yourself in hot water for 15 minutes before bedtime, your body temperature rises and enhances your ability to fall asleep faster. (National Sleep Foundations)
The New England Journal of Medicine reported on a study (08-16-2008) regarding the benefits of physical exercise and therapy from the use of walk-in-tubs. As reported, patients with Diabetes were studied using a hot tub 30 minutes a day, 6 days per week. After only 10 days, patients required reduced doses of insulin, lost weight, showed distinct decreases in plasma glucose, and benefited from improved sleep and increased general sense of well-being.
A study has shown that regular use of hot tubs can aid in weight loss, as well as diminish the appearance of cellulite. This stems from the fact that soaking in a spa simulates exercise by dilating blood vessels and promoting better circulation, as it relaxes the skin and muscles. It can also increase the heart rate while lowering blood pressure. This indicates that soaking in a hot tub may be good for your body in many ways.
Ask anyone who owns one: they will tell you that they feel better after using their spa. For hundreds of years Europeans have used hot water spa therapy as a treatment for chronic diseases. In fact, the Romans developed a fabulous hot spring resort in England sometime after their invasion in 43 A.D. The effectiveness of such therapy for chronic lower back pain has not been documented until recently. In 1995, a study published in the British Journal of Rheumatology reported that spa therapy has both short and long-term benefits in treating lower back pain.
The Mayo Clinic found in a recent study that since bathing in your hot tub simulates exercise, soaking in one gives you some of the same health benefits of exercise but with less heart stress. A hot tub increases the heart rate while lowering blood pressure, instead of raising it as other forms of exercise do.
High blood pressure is by far the most potent risk of causing a stroke. High blood pressure can increase your risk of stroke by four times. Studies show the risk of stroke doubles for each decade between the ages of 55 and 92. Studies have proven that 30 minutes in a walk-in +-tub with hydrotherapy significantly reduces a person’s stress levels and hypertension.
