Hot tubs can offer benefits to one’s physical health and promote an enhanced emotional well-being. On the strictly physical side, using Hydrotherapy (a method of massage therapy with water jets) can loosen up tense muscles and help to relieve tension that could be impinging on one’s nerves. In addition, the virtual weightlessness resulting from the buoyancy of the water can help to alleviate the pressure pushing on joints. As such, hot tubs can be extremely beneficial for those suffering from arthritis or other joint disorders. Another domain affected by hot tubs is blood pressure; the heat from the water can act to open up blood vessels, increasing flow and leading to a long term reduction in blood pressure if incorporated regularly into one’s routine. On the emotional end, Studies have shown that meditation or other relaxation techniques can yield long-lasting benefits to one’s levels of stress and anxiety if incorporated regularly into one’s routine. Spending time in a hot tub to wind down is one such way to relax and relieve stress. In addition, research suggests that 15 minutes spent in a hot tub per night can lead to a more restful and better night’s sleep.
