Hot Tub Health Benefits
The therapeutic benefits that spa owners enjoy are vast. From physical to emotional stress relief, alleviating muscle pain to relief for arthritis, a hot tub can bring your health into focus. We have gathered the following information for educational purposes. While we suggest that you speak to a medical professional before beginning any new health regimen, a hot tub by Marquis may be just what the doctor ordered.
Arthritis
The Arthritis Foundation states:
- The soothing warmth and buoyancy of warm water makes it a safe, ideal environment for relieving arthritis pain and stiffness.
- Immersing in warm water raises your body temperature, causing your blood vessels to dilate and increases circulation.
- Water exercise is a gentle way to exercise joints and muscles.
- Water supports joints to encourage free movement, and may also act as resistance to help build muscle strength.
- Using a spa adds a component to the therapy – massage. Jet nozzles release warm water and air, massaging your body and helping you relax tight muscles.
