The benefits of Caldera Spas hot tubs
A quality hot tub can improve your life in various ways that you have not thought of until now. Hot tubs bring the family together and give you a reason to invite friends and neighbors over. Whether you stay late at night in your backyard to watch a meteor shower or wake up early in the morning to watch the sun rise, a hot tub connects you with your surroundings. What's more, using a hot tub can improve your overall well-being. Regular sessions in the spa mini pool help reduce stress, relieve pain, improve sleep quality and increase flexibility.
Although only a doctor or medical professional can tell you if hydrotherapy can benefit you, below are some of the health benefits of using a hot tub:
Improved mobility
As we get older, we lose mobility. This process occurs gradually for some people and can start suddenly for others, depending on factors such as genetic predisposition, activity level, injuries or the presence of medical conditions such as arthritis. With regular use, a hot tub can help regain mobility and slow down the natural loss of flexibility that occurs with age. The warm water of the spa mini pool leads to the creation of hydrostatic pressure – the pressure caused by the weight of liquids – on the body. This reduces joint inflammation that causes loss of mobility. The floating state experienced in a spa mini pool relaxes the body, allowing joints and muscles to relax and become more flexible. During your spa session, you can take advantage of your relaxed and floating state to practice flexibility exercises in a non-demanding way. The following video offers some suggestions for easy exercises that can be done in the hot tub. If you have mobility issues or medical conditions, consult your doctor before starting an exercise program.

Reducing the symptoms of arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
Arthritis is a common but painful condition characterized by joint pain and inflammation, accompanied by loss of mobility. Osteoarthritis, the most common form, is the result of the cartilage between the bones breaking down, 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 your joints, resulting in inflammation and stiffness. These conditions can cause chronic pain and affect quality of life. Fortunately for people with arthritis, spending time in a hot tub can provide temporary relief from joint pain caused by arthritis. In a controlled study investigating the effects of spa therapy on patients with severe osteoarthritis, scientists found a significant reduction in pain after just two weeks of use. In fact, patients who used spa therapy experienced a lower level of pain than patients under drug treatment. Similarly, a study on patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that hydrotherapy reduced joint pain and tension. Although any medical decision should be made with your doctor, for those affected by arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, a hot tub can be a pleasant way to temporarily relieve pain and improve quality of life.
Relief of fibromyalgia symptoms
In the same way that it can help people with arthritis, spending time in a hot tub can also relieve some symptoms of fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a disease that includes chronic pain and fatigue throughout the body, often resulting in interrupted sleep and an incomplete ability to concentrate and pay attention. It can cause difficulties at work and in the family environment. As with arthritis, a study on the effects of hydrotherapy in fibromyalgia patients indicated demonstrable benefits. After completing a hydrotherapy treatment, patients reported improvements in physical functioning, sleep quality, and ability to perform duties at work, accompanied by a decrease 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 manage your fibromyalgia symptoms, consult a qualified medical professional.
Relief of 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 low back pain, also known as lumbago, as "the leading cause of disability among people under 45." Low back pain, whether chronic or acute, can have a severe impact on quality of life. It can make carrying out everyday activities – going to work, driving, going shopping, doing housework – a difficult and painful challenge. It can also cause sleep loss. In multiple studies, people with low back pain who underwent hydrotherapy treatment, either alone or in combination with other treatments, reported a reduction in symptoms. Although these studies do indicate that hydrotherapy can have a positive impact on people suffering from lower back pain, they are not a substitute for the advice of a doctor or a qualified medical professional. 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 hustle and bustle of everyday life can be a major source of anxiety: waking up early, traffic and congestion on public transport, multiple phone calls at work and sending emails, paying bills, looking after children, preparing meals, doing repairs housework, car repair, relationship repair… Wouldn't it be nice to have a way to leave it all behind? When you're in a hot tub, all that matters is how good you feel. Because it is more energy efficient to keep your mini 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 some time 15-20 minutes in the hot tub can help you start your day feeling rested and focused. In the evening, it can relax you and relieve you of the stress accumulated during the day. Randomized and controlled studies have indicated that the use of hydrotherapy can contribute to an improved mental and emotional state. The combination of warm water and relaxing massage jets helps to relax muscles. Floating reduces muscle strain, allowing your body to relax as you float. Daily use of a relaxing and comfortable jacuzzi, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, reduces anxiety and increases the ability to concentrate.
A more restful sleep
A large portion 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 reducing your ability to be productive. This can lead to a vicious cycle, as the same negative states can cause or worsen sleep disturbances. Using a jacuzzi tub frequently can break this vicious cycle and help you get a restful night's sleep. The results of a study of elderly women suffering from insomnia showed that spending a short period of time in a jacuzzi before bed helps to have a deeper, restful and uninterrupted sleep. Reducing the level 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 have a more restful sleep. In the jacuzzi you will detach yourself from the stress and worries of the day, and an evening spa session is the perfect time to connect with the family. Spending time with loved ones on a regular basis can help you eliminate stressful distractions and focus on what matters most in your life.
Relieves muscle pain
Even if you are not a professional football player, work in construction or climb a mountain, at the end of the day you can feel muscle pain or muscle discomfort. The daily activities of daily life are enough to strain the muscles. Even those during leisure time can affect the muscles in an unpleasant way. Physical exertion, whether done at work or for recreation, has an effect on the body. Hot tubs can relieve pain. Warm water and massage jets relax the muscles and remove toxins from the muscle fibers. The floating position takes the pressure off your legs, feet and back, reducing muscle cramps and discomfort. Spending time in the jacuzzi after a vigorous exercise session or after a long day at work is the perfect way to allow your muscles to recover for the day ahead. However, before deciding whether the spa session is a form of therapy or a replacement for prescribed treatment, seek the advice of a doctor.
