How Hot Tubs Can Increase Mobility
Are you looking to increase your everyday mobility? It’s much easier than you think, all you need is a hot tub! Soaking in a hot tub provides a lot of different physical benefits. A daily soak in one of our hot tubs will leave you feeling much looser and more relaxed. Let’s explore some of the great ways a hot tub can improve your mobility more than ever before!
Increased Circulation
Millions of Americans suffer from arthritis and are constantly looking for something to ease their pain. When they can’t find any help, it causes them to be more inactive because of the pain. This leads to a decrease in circulation and more inflammation. Hydrotherapy is one of the best methods to alleviate these problems. The heat of the hot tub helps to increase circulation in the body. Hydrotherapy has been proven to reduce inflammation, as well as increase overall mobility in the body.
Reduced Stiffness and Soreness
Everyone goes through times of being stiff and sore throughout their life. Many people experience this soreness and stiffness after strenuous work or exercising. Body muscles need downtime to recuperate and relax after an intense workout. Warm water therapy helps your blood vessels to expand. This dilation helps increase blood flow to the body muscles and skin, helping to prevent soreness and stiffness.
Freedom of Movement
If you’re already feeling the effects from stiff joints or arthritis, chances are you might have experienced a drop-off in your exercise routine due to pain and stiffness. Don’t worry, we’ve got good news for you! A hot tub can help this by reducing the weight on your joints, thus allowing more movement with less pain. The buoyancy of the water makes you feel lighter, which increases free movement and relieves pressure on your joints. In fact, water can support up to 90 percent of a person’s body weight. Stretching while in the water can also loosen stiff joints and relieve pain.
If you want to increase your overall mobility and think a hot tub could benefit you, we’d love to help you find the perfect one for you.
