Hot Tub Therapy May Help Improve These Conditions

Hot tub time can be therapy for your mind and your body. Chilling in the hot water can boost your mood, relax your muscles and help you unwind from your daily stress. Beyond these benefits, there may be certain conditions that can be positively affected by hanging in a hot tub.

Arthritis: One of the hallmarks of being in a hot tub is the soothing effects of being submerged in hot water. Arthritis is a condition that is felt in your joints and caused by inflammation. The higher water temperature can relax your aches and pains, enhance blood flow and even loosen up your joints for a boost in your mobility.

Fibromyalgia: This disease is musculoskeletal and can have a variety of symptoms from pain and fatigue to mood swings and poor sleep. When you are in a hot tub, you can expect the heat to help with your blood flow and help relax you for a better night’s sleep as it can help calm you down and relax.

Cerebral Palsy: This neurological condition can cause lots of pain and stiffness and decrease your mobility. Again, hot tub time can help relieve your muscle aches and spur additional flexibility.

Mental illness: Whether you have diagnosed anxiety, depression or mood disorders or are just facing a very stressful day or situation, soaking in your hot tub can boost your mood. Relaxation can help release endorphins, which is the hormone that increases your mood. It is hard to be stressed out when you are surrounded by warm water and bubbles!

Insomnia: If you are in a phase where you cannot fall asleep or stay asleep, then you have insomnia. Taking time to soak in your hot tub for about 20 minutes before you go to bed will raise and then drop your body’s temperature. This fluctuation can prompt sleepiness and help you have a better night’s sleep.

Bursitis or Tendonitis: With inflammation behind these conditions, you can expect the moist heat of your hot tub to help relax your sore knee, shoulder or hip. Regular soaks are vital to relief from all of these conditions.

Common cold: Consistent time in your hot tub can help increase your circulation, flush out toxins and provide a boost to your immune system to help your body fight the common cold.
