The Healing Power of Whirlpool Spa
Why do you feel so relaxed like your aches have banished after spending time in a whirlpool spa? The common answer is that it must be the effect of the warmth, water movement and pressure, and buoyancy or in short, hydrotherapy. The whirlpool movement is produced when water is pulled from the bath, then, mixed with air and sprayed back with high pressure through the jets from strategic locations in the tub. The buoyancy of swirling water reduces the weight supported by muscles and consequently also reduces stress. This sounds so simple but many attest to these results.
The water in the tub is between 38degreesC (100degreesF) to 40degreesC (104degreesF), considered safe for adults and adds to the soothing effect of the water movement. Following is a list of the effects on some common ailments by at least 10 minutes in a whirlpool spa:
1. Sore muscles relief
The bubbles and water pressure massage the sore areas and eases the pain.
2. Improves blood circulation
The warm water and the massaging effect of hydrotherapy relaxes and dilates the blood vessels. The relaxed and dilated blood vessels allow faster blood flow, improving blood circulation. Improving the blood circulation results to faster distribution of the nutrients to different parts of the body.
3. Reduces migraines
Migraines are eased by the improved blood circulation.
4. Ease chronic pains like arthritis and back pains and muscle stresses
The spa reduces swelling and eases pressure on the joints.
5. Relaxes the mind and body
Again, due to the warmth and massaging effect of the water. Warm water also relaxes the mind and induces sleep which is good for people who are stressed.
6. Improves alertness
Too much stress reduces concentration and alertness. The warm water in the whirlpool spa relaxes the muscles and promotes concentration through improved blood flow.
The ailments listed above are just some of the common ones frequently reported to have been relieved by sessions in a whirlpool spa. The therapeutic effects of a whirlpool spa not only eases different body pains, it also induces relaxation and the feeling of contentment and euphoria in some people.
More and more people are embracing the natural methods of healing minor ailments. Considering the number of ailments relieved by the effects of a whirlpool spa, it is a wise and beneficial investment.
