Benefits of Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is great for increasing your body's blood circulation, for relieving pain & stiffness in your muscles & joints and reducing stress and fatigue.

Hydrotherapy Relieves Stress

Stress can come from anywhere; our jobs, society, even our family. Stress isn't always the result of negative situations. Busy life styles, prosperity and positive life changes can also add to our stress levels. While we cannot avoid stress completely, we can manage stress and protect our health by taking time for ourselves. Hydrotherapy provides the perfect combination of elements for healing the mental and physical effects of stress. Taking time to relax and let our bodies recover is essential to our well being.

Hydrotherapy increases circulation

A soak in a hot tub spa will increase circulation and reduce the effects of stress on your body in many ways. As the body relaxes and the blood is warmed, it flows more easily, reducing blood pressure. As circulation increases, more nutrients are delivered to muscles, replenishing tissue. At the same time, toxins that have built up in the muscle tissue is flushed away.

Hydrotherapy relieves the pain of muscle and joint stiffness in 4 ways.
First, the buoyancy of the water reduces 90% of the body's weight. The strain on muscles and joints is relieved as soon as you are immersed. Second, the warm water improves blood circulation. Third, as you relax, your brain releases endorphins into the blood stream; endorphins are the body's natural relaxant and pain reliever. Fourth, the gentle massage created by the jets loosen knots of tension & enhance the muscle's range of motion.

Whether you need to unwind from today's stress or rejuvenate sore joints from sports or arthritis, hydromassage in our spa can help you feel better, naturally!
