Hot Tub Therapy Provides Arthritis Pain Relief
Hydrotherapy is aquatic therapy with three basic factors: heat, buoyancy and massage. Immersion in hot water raises your body temperature, which results in increased blood circulation. Buoyancy in the water reduces pressure on the joints and muscles, and creates a sense of relaxation. The massaging spa action of combined water and air jets provides stress relief by relaxing tight muscles and stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.
Relaxing in a hot tub can assist in alleviating the pain and swelling associated with arthritis. The heat and buoyancy create a helpful environment for relieving arthritis pain symptoms while improving the body's range of motion. The water supports your body's weight, which lessens stress on joints and muscles, thus encouraging free movement and providing stress relief.
