Hot tubs bring the family together ## The benefits of Caldera Spas hot tubs A quality hot tub can improve your life in ways you have not thought of until now. Hot tubs bring the family together and give you a reason to invite friends and neighbours round. Whether you stay out in the yard late into the evening to watch a meteor shower or get up early in the morning to see the sunrise, a hot tub connects you with your surroundings. What is more, using a hot tub can improve your general condition. Regular sessions in the spa help reduce stress, relieve pain, improve sleep quality and increase flexibility. Although only a doctor or medical specialist can tell you whether hydrotherapy can benefit you, below you will find a few of the health benefits that using a hot tub brings: ### Improved mobility As we age we lose mobility. This process happens gradually for some people and can begin suddenly for others, depending on factors such as genetic predisposition, activity level, injuries or the presence of medical conditions such as arthritis. Through regular use, a hot tub can help regain mobility and slow down the natural process of losing flexibility that comes with age. The warm water of the spa creates hydrostatic pressure – the pressure caused by the weight of liquids – on the body. This reduces the joint inflammation that causes the loss of mobility. The state of floating experienced in a spa releases tension in the body, allowing the joints and muscles to relax and become more flexible. During a spa session you can take advantage of your relaxed, floating state to practise flexibility exercises in an undemanding way. The following video offers a few suggestions for gentle exercises that can be done in the hot tub. If you have mobility problems or medical conditions, consult your doctor before starting an exercise programme. ### **Exercises for the lower back and hips:** ### Reducing the symptoms of arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis Arthritis is a common but painful condition, characterised by pain in the joints and their inflammation, accompanied by a loss of mobility. Osteoarthritis, the most common form, is the result of the degradation of the cartilage between the bones, leading to pain caused by friction. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that can cause pain throughout the body, occurs when your own immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, resulting in their inflammation and stiffness. These conditions can cause chronic pain and can affect quality of life. Fortunately for people who suffer from arthritis, spending time in a hot tub can provide temporary relief from the joint pain caused by arthritis. In a controlled study aiming to research the effects of spa therapy on patients with severe osteoarthritis, scientists discovered a significant reduction in pain after just two weeks of use. In fact, the patients who used spa therapy recorded a lower level of pain than patients on medication. In the same way, a study on patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that hydrotherapy reduced pain and tension in the joints. Although any medical decision must be taken together with your doctor, for those affected by arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, a hot tub can be a pleasant way of temporarily relieving pain and improving quality of life. ### Relieving the symptoms of fibromyalgia In the same way that it can help people who suffer from arthritis, spending time in a hot tub can also relieve some of the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a condition that includes chronic pain and fatigue throughout the body, often leading to interrupted sleep and an impaired ability to concentrate and pay attention. It can cause difficulties at work and in family life. As with arthritis, a study on the effects of hydrotherapy in patients with fibromyalgia indicated demonstrable benefits. After completing a course of hydrotherapy, patients reported improvements in physical function, sleep quality and the ability to carry out their duties at work, accompanied by a reduction in the intensity of pain, fatigue, stiffness, anxiety and depression. Of course, these studies are limited in scope and should not replace medical advice. Before determining whether a hot tub can help you control the symptoms of fibromyalgia, consult a qualified medical specialist. ### Relieving lower back pain According to one estimate, 80% of people will suffer from lower back pain at some point. The University of Maryland Medical Center describes lower back pain, also known as lumbago, as „the leading cause of disability among people under 45”. Lower back pain, whether chronic or acute, can have a severe impact on quality of life. It can make everyday activities – going to work, driving, going shopping, doing housework – a difficult and painful challenge. It can also cause loss of sleep. In multiple studies, people affected by lower back pain who followed a course of hydrotherapy, either on its own or in combination with other treatments, reported a reduction in symptoms. Although these studies do indeed indicate that hydrotherapy can have a positive impact on people who suffer from lower back pain, they do not replace the advice of a doctor or a qualified medical specialist. To decide whether using a hot tub can help relieve your symptoms, consult your doctor. ### Reducing anxiety and stress How often do you feel stressed? Daily activities and the bustle of everyday life can be a major source of anxiety: getting up early, traffic and crowded public transport, multiple phone calls at work and sending emails, paying bills, looking after the children, preparing meals, household repairs, car repairs, repairing relationships… Wouldn't it be nice if there were a way to leave it all behind? When you are in a hot tub, all that matters is how good you feel. Because it is more energy-efficient to keep the spa at a constant temperature than to heat it every time you use it, it will always be ready for you. Before you leave for work in the morning, spending 15-20 minutes in the hot tub can help you start the day feeling rested and focused. In the evening, it can relax you and rid you of the stress accumulated during the day. Randomised, controlled studies have indicated that the use of hydrotherapy can contribute to an improved psychological and emotional state. The combination of warm water and jets for a relaxing massage helps release tension in the muscles. The state of floating reduces muscular effort, allowing the body to relax while you float. Daily use of a relaxing, comfortable hot tub, away from the unrest of everyday life, reduces anxiety and increases the ability to concentrate. ### More restful sleep A large part of the population suffers from insomnia or other sleep disorders more than once a week, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Lack of sleep can increase levels of stress, anxiety, frustration and depression, while at the same time reducing the ability to be productive. This can lead to a vicious circle, because the same negative states can cause or aggravate sleep disorders. Using a hot tub frequently can break this vicious circle and can help you get restful sleep. The results of a study involving older women who suffered from insomnia showed that spending a short period of time in the hot tub before bed helps to achieve deeper, more restful and uninterrupted sleep. Reducing levels of stress and anxiety makes it easier to fall asleep without difficulty. A simple short spa session before bed will relax your nerves and muscles and help you sleep more peacefully. In the hot tub you will detach yourself from daily stress and worries, and an evening spa session is the perfect time to connect with the family. Spending time with loved ones regularly can help you eliminate stressful distractions and focus on what matters most in your life. ### It eases muscle pain Even if you are not a professional footballer, work in construction or climb mountains, at the end of a day you can feel muscle pain or discomfort in your muscles. The daily activities of everyday life are enough to strain the muscles. Even leisure activities can affect the muscles unpleasantly. Physical effort, whether at work or for recreation, has an effect on the body. Hot tubs can relieve the pain. Warm water and massage jets release tension in the muscles and eliminate toxins from the muscle fibres. The state of floating takes the pressure off the legs, feet and back, thus reducing muscle cramps and the feeling of discomfort. Spending time in the hot tub after an intense exercise session or after a long day at work is the perfect way to allow the muscles to recover for the next day. However, before deciding whether a spa session is a form of therapy or a replacement for prescribed treatment, seek the advice of a doctor. ### The premium and luxury Caldera® range of hot tubs offers the best spa experience A hot tub can improve your quality of life.
