Benefits of Owning
a Spa
Hydrotherapy is an age-old form of
healing and stress relief. It is based on three simple principles:
heat, buoyancy, and water movement (hydro-massage).
Heat dilates the blood vessels and increases circulation in
the body. This enables enzymes and endorphins (the body's natural
pain relievers) to work more rapidly and efficiently on areas of the
body, such as muscles and joints that have been strained, injured or
stressed. Heat also enables the cells to more easily rid themselves
of metabolic waste, which is replaced by oxygen and the body's
natural nutrients.
Buoyancy is a simple physics issue. The body weights 90
percent less when suspended in water. Specific gravity is reduced,
and pressure on the spine, muscle groups, ligaments and joints is
significantly eased.
Hydro-massage is the delivery of moving water to various
parts of the body and is the final and critical ingredient to this
process. All body systems benefit from hydro-massage. Stress, injury
and poor posture can all cause muscle spasms and pain. Specifically
directed jets of water stimulate and relax trigger points, which are
highly sensitive "nodules" in the spasming muscle. Massage has also
been shown to improve flexibility, increase circulation, and provide
generally restorative benefits.
Hydrotherapy is more than an unparalleled method of relieving stress
and stress-related conditions, such as high blood pressure,
headaches and chronic pain. It benefits every system of the body,
including the skeletal neuromuscular, circulatory, and digestive
systems.
Hydrotherapy has been proven to be especially effective in
reducing the pain of arthritis, tendonitis/bursitis and inflammation
resulting from sports injuries and overexertion. The moist heat is
extremely beneficial to persons suffering from respiratory ailments,
such as congestion, chronic bronchitis and asthma.
Increased circulation derived from hydro-massage improves digestive
processes; waste and metabolic by-products are more easily
eliminated, and lymph is moved more efficiently through the body,
strengthening the immune system.
With hydrotherapy, it isn't simply a matter of grabbing a relaxing
few minutes that are over as soon as you climb out of the spa; you
get an experience that will far-reaching effects on the quality of
your life.
Healthy
Pleasures
Rarely do health and pleasure come together like they do in an
Artesian Spa. While many may think of spas as a luxury item,
reserved for those that have the means to enjoy the fine life, for
others a spa is an indispensable part of the making it through the
day. The scientifically proven benefits associated with regular
therapeutic hot tub use are beyond dispute and even prescribed by
many doctors as a form of treatment for pain, stiffness, arthritis,
diabetes and more. There are many, many benefits for the spa user.
+ Stress Relief
There are physiological as well as
psychological reasons that a spa so successfully relieves stress and
helps you unwind during tense times. Hydrotherapy combined with heat
therapy and the buoyancy of being submerged in water all work
together to allow your body to release tension, to loosen stiff
muscles, and to make the blood to flow more freely.
+ Arthritic Pain, Fibromyalgia
Your spa is literally your own
personal mechanical masseuse, at your beck and call whenever you
need it. The added benefits of heat for better blood flow and
buoyancy to relieve the strain of gravity on your frame make the spa
an ideal treatment for both disorders.
+ Restful Sleep
While heat brings up the body's
internal temperature, the cooling off induces natural relaxation.
Unlike the use of medications and prescription sleep aids, the
circulation and warmth of a spa encourages the body to unwind and
relax on its own, leading to a more restful sleep.
+ Type 2 Diabetes
A recent study in the New England
Journal of Medicine shows that sufferers of Type 2 Diabetes can
benefit from regular use of a spa. Most diabetics are unable to
endure rigorous activity and have difficulty with weight and
circulation. The study revealed that sufferers experienced a
significant decrease in blood sugar levels and improved sleep after
spending 30 minutes a day in a spa. For those who live with the
daily discomfort and inconvenience of diabetes, a spa can be the
doorway to a fuller, more enjoyable life. |
