The Benefits Of Using Your Hot Tub...

HOT TUB BENEFITS GRAPHIC

The days can be long and they can be hard, if you’re lucky enough you have a hot tub sitting at home ready for a long relaxing soak, something that is just the therapy you need to unwind and escape.  But what you don’t think of is that aside from helping you relax, spending time in a hot tub can actually provide a whole range of other benefits too, including:

STRESS RELIEF

When you get in to your tub, and breath that deep sigh of relief, it becomes instantly obvious that one of the benefits of hot tub use is the potential to ease the tensions of your day.  The soothing effect of the hot water and the massaging action of the jets can help to relieve physical, emotional and mental stress. 

MUSCLE RELAXATION

In addition to overall wellbeing relaxation, the hot water and massaging action of the jets within the hot tub can be an effective way to assist you in relaxing and soothing tight, tense muscles – in turn, this eases aches and pains.  In fact, use of your hot tub before physical exercise may also reduce the risk of injury. 

IMPROVED SLEEP

Struggling to sleep at night?  A hot tub is for you!  According to research, the relaxation provided to you from the hot tub can be enough to help you better your sleep.   A study in to this found that the hot water promoted sleep which was not only significantly deeper, but also more restful.

PAIN RELIEF 

Soaking in the tub may offer relief to some types of pain by relaxing tense muscles, sore joints and tendons.  If you have arthritis, the heat and massaging action can help to ease the stiffness and inflammation that causes your pain.   The water supports your body and takes weight off of your joints, helping to improve flexibility and range of motion.  

BETTER CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

Relaxing in the tub can raise your heart rate and lower your blood pressure.  In a study, it was found that the hot water immersion could have “robust” effects on vascular function and blood pressure.   Other research found that immersion in a hot tub for just 10 minutes may lower blood pressure. 

CALORIE BURN

A study showed that participants who soaked in a waist high tub for an hour burned approximately the same number of calories as a 30 minute walk.  The tub may also help your metabolism, particularly for those who may find it more difficult to exercise.
