Benefits for Arthritis

One in three Americans-about 70 million people-has some form of arthritis. Although there are over 100 different kinds of arthritis, most are characterized by inflammation of the joints which causes swelling, pain and stiffness, often resulting in loss of joint movement or function.

Many people affected by arthritis seek relief by soaking in the warm, soothing waters of a spa*. A hot tub can provide the warmth, massage and buoyancy needed to both relax and exercise joints and muscles in the convenience and comfort of your own backyard. Relaxed muscles create an overall feeling of comfort which can then make it easier to perform exercises and carry out daily tasks.

If you know someone who is affected by the pain and discomfort of arthritis, a spa may bring the relief they need. A Hot Spring spa is the ultimate way to soothe stiff, sore muscles and joints through state-of-the-art hydromassage.

Hot Tub Therapy & Arthritis

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.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, a hot tub's heat and buoyancy create a helpful environment for relieving arthritis pain and stiffness. Water supports the body's weight, which lessens stress on joints and muscles, thus encouraging free movement. Talk with your doctor to determine whether a hot tub is right for you.

* The use of hot water or heat is recommended for many people with arthritis but not all. Consult with your physician.
