We all know that being in a hot tub is a lovely experience. No matter what the season it’s a delicious way to feel pampered and take some time out. However, did you know that it can actually be good for your health to use a hot tub? The combination of heat, pressure and water can actually be very powerful when it comes to your wellbeing too.

4 reasons it’s healthy for you to use a hot tub

  1. Your hot tub can help when it comes to stress. For many of us, stress can be a problem no matter what the time of year. From financial pressures to family stuff and workplace issues there are many things that can trigger feelings of anxiety and dread and it can be difficult to work out how to calm that when it happens. One simple way is to spend more time in your hot tub. The warm water can be incredibly soothing and you can use the jets to apply pressure to anywhere that you’re feeling stress the most to find some physical relief.
  2. Being in a hot tub can help reduce blood pressure. This is because the impact of the warm water dilates the blood vessels with much the same effect as you might get if you had just done a workout. This is great for your body, especially if you’re doing it on a regular basis when you use your hot tub at home. Plus, if you’re starting a new workout regime or trying new activities and sports for autumn your hot tub is the perfect place to relax afterwards and to ease out tired muscles and the impact of lots of strenuous exercise.
  3. Hot tub sessions can help when it comes to regulating blood sugar. Research has found that one of the long term benefits of a hot tub is that it can help to better control blood sugar levels and provide support to anyone who has Type 2 diabetes. That’s one of the reasons why it’s worth using your hot tub on a regular basis if this is something that you suffer from. It’s one of the many positive health benefits that are not always considered when it comes to hot tub use.
  4. Pain relief and mobility. The warmth of the water and the use of the jets means that your hot tub can be a great tool when it comes to pain relief, whether that’s in respect of a chronic condition like arthritis or a recent injury. The buoyancy of the water means that your body will feel totally supported and you won’t put any pressure on tender areas. The heat and support can help significantly with pain management and give you some relief, especially when used on a regular basis.

From helping to better manage pain to the impact on blood pressure or even a condition like Type 2 diabetes, these are some of the reasons why using your hot tub is healthy for you. We also offer servicing and post-sales care for all of our customers to make sure that our customers get the best out of their hot tub.
