The health benefits of Hottubs & Spas

There are many health benefits of owning a spa or hot tub and whilst it won’t cure anything, it will significantly relieve some problems and improve health in other areas.  Here are just a few of the many health benefits you can enjoy, when you own a hot tub or spa and make an investment in your health.

Mental Health Benefits

Over 60% of UK adults suffer from stress.  Stress is a leading cause of depression and can also lead to the onset of physical illness.  By owning a hot tub, you can experience the stress relieving benefits of relaxing swirls of warm water that will wash away your stress, relaxing your mind and body at once.   This simple but effective way to relieve stress is a significant way to reduce the effects of stress upon your overall health.

By taking a relaxing dip in the spa before you to go to bed at night, you can also improve the quality of your sleep.  The spa will heat your body and as your core temperature cools, this will help you to fall asleep.

Physical Health Benefits

Humankind has known the benefits of hydrotherapy for thousands of years.   The warm, pulsing waters help to relieve arthritis and other health problems by increasing the blood flow around your joints.  The warm bubbling water helps to relax the muscles and this eases muscle tension.

The steam caused by the spa helps to relax and open up your nasal and bronchial passages, allowing deep, relaxed breathing and thus improving respiratory health.  This is particularly helpful for people that suffer from asthma or other breathing related conditions.

When older people use spas, they often report that the aches and pain of aging are significantly reduced and that using a spa has given them a whole new lease of life!

Just fifteen minutes in the spa each day, can see real benefits for people of all ages.

Rehabilitation

Sports therapy experts often recommend hydrotherapy as a way of recovering from physical injury.   In fact, many hospitals have a hydrotherapy pool for the purposes of patient rehabilitation.  If you have your own hot tub, you can use it whenever you want, you don’t have to wait for an NHS appointment!

People that are undergoing rehabilitation can use a spa to do light exercise whilst they are regaining the strength in their body.  The buoyancy that the water gives them allows them to do this exercise with less effort and less wear and tear on the patient’s recuperating body.

Many of the latest spas feature a range of therapeutic options such as aromatherapy and the powerful soothing multi-directional spa jets that offer a fabulous whole body massage as you relax, submerged in the warm, bubbling water.

Now you too can enjoy the refreshing health benefits of hydrotherapy in your own home. To experience the stimulating benefits of a spa, visit Simply Spas or call 0553 416797 today!
