Highlighting hot tub health magic
Andy Slater- 3 days ago
Hydropool North West has been highlighting the benefits of hydrotherapy ahead of National Hot Tub Day with a focus on pain relief and improved sleep.
Leading up to National Hot Tub Day on Friday, March 28, the Ashton-based dealership has published an article entitled ‘Soak Away Pain & Sleep Soundly: The Health Magic of Hot Tubs’. The article advocates that the ‘humble hot tub’ can provide a ‘bubbling haven of health benefits that can go beyond just relaxation’.
To entice prospective customers into purchasing a hot tub for an enhanced lifestyle of wellness, Hydropool North West provides readers of the online article with an insight into the therapeutic magic of hot tubs. It also focuses on how hot tubs can ‘transform the well-being of users, to create a feeling like they have discovered their own fountain of youth’.
The article stresses that hot tubs are not just a luxury; but are a powerful tool for improving physical and mental health. It also highlights that warm water increases blood flow, which relaxes muscles and reduces inflammation. Experts, including those featured in WhatSpa? magazine advocating the use of hot tubs, know that these contribute to pain relief and that utilsiing hydrotherapy for pain relief can be a breakthrough for those suffering muscle soreness, arthritis, and back pain.
‘Turn on the jets in our Hydropool hot tubs and you get a professional massage,’ proclaims the article. ‘Our hot tubs feature programs, automatic or self-directed so you can experience hydrotherapy for your overworked muscles.
‘Pair the physical effects above with the mental benefit – relaxation induced by the hot tub reduces stress and anxiety, common culprits of sleepless nights. A relaxed mind is the first step to a deep sleep.
“Another big reason a hot tub soak can improve sleep is that it raises your internal body temp ever so slightly. Your temperature will drop as you exit the tub, mimicking the drop that happens before sleep- priming your body for bedtime. A hot tub soak can also lower “bad” hormones, and help promote release of “good” ones.’
Hydropool North West also divulges within the article that studies suggest spending time in a hot tub can mirror those of running. It highlights that a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that individuals experienced a 345 per cent increase in blood flow to the legs after soaking in a hot tub, comparable to a half-hour jog.
In the article it is revealed that: ‘Participants’ heart rates and blood pressure also showed positive changes, similar to a fast-paced walk. Furthermore, the study noted a 22 per cent reduction in cortisol levels (a bad hormone) and a decrease in anxiety among participants.’
To maximize the cortisol-lowering benefits of a hot tub, Hydropool North West advocates in the article that owners can consider incorporating it into a regular self-care routine. The award-winning dealership suggests aiming for 15 to 20 minute soaks, particularly in the evening to prepare for sleep.
The article advises: ‘Create a calming atmosphere with dim lighting and soothing music. Remember to stay hydrated before, during, and after your soak. Try to use this time to detox from your phone or other digital media- don’t open any screen back up before you head to bed.
‘By making hot tub use a consistent part of your lifestyle, you can effectively manage stress, lower cortisol levels for amazing sleep, and unlock a greater sense of well-being as a result.’
Ahead of National Hot Tub Day this week, Hydropool North West has also highlighted the importance of choosing a reputable supplier of hot tub chemicals within an article entitle: ‘Worth the Risk? Unveiling The Hidden Costs of Cheap Spa Chemicals’.
In the article the dealership advocates: “We recommend researching popular and reputable brands – or popping in-store where we can advise you on all your hot tub chemical needs.
‘You have just made a hefty investment into a hot tub or swim spa. You don’t want to ruin it by cutting corners on chemicals!’
