Spa owners say that revitalising their mind and
spirit as well as relationships are as important to them as the more
quantitative physical benefits associated with soaking in a spa.
There are physiological effects associated with hydro-massage that
open the door for renewal of the mind and spirit as well as the
body. Floating in warm water slows down your pulse, and massage jets
stimulate circulation to boost energy. The perfect way to refresh
and prepare yourself for the day ahead, or alternatively relax and
rejuvenate at the end of a long day. Many owners look to their warm
spas to create the perfect, soothing environment for introspection
and meditation, which helps them maintain balance in their lives.

Weight loss
Soaking in a warm steamy spa increases
the heart rate and at the same time lowers blood pressure. Therefore
you can enjoy the health benefits of increasing your heart rate
without stress on your heart. Hydrotherapy dilates the blood vessels
and stimulates circulation while relaxing muscles and skin. It has
also been suggested that regular use of spas can help you loose
weight and reduce cellulite. As an alternative to working out at the
gym you can relax in your own spa and tone body tissue, reduce fluid
retention and relieve swelling.
3)
Stress Relief
Stress is an unavoidable aspect in the
lives of many. Under stress, the heart works harder, breathing
becomes more rapid and shallow, and digestion slows. Nearly every
process of the body is degraded by stress. It is estimated that 80%
of disease is stress related, therefore it would make sense to try
and relieve it wouldn't it? The massage you enjoy in your spa
stimulates the release of your bodies' natural feel good chemical-
endorphin. You will feel better and more equipped to tackle life's
daily challenges. A spa will not remove stress from your life; it
will however help you to relieve it.
Do you have trouble sleeping? Soaking
in a warm spa before bed may be the answer. A warm spa helps to
relieve stress making it easier for you to fall asleep and will also
improve the quality of your sleep. Ensuring that your rest is
plentiful and also rejuvenating.

Athletes
After exercise, sore and stiff muscles
and joints are often a regular occurrence. A spa can be beneficial
both before and after exercise. Soaking in a spa before exercise
will relax and loosen muscles, reducing the risk of injury. After
exercise, a spa can be used to target your aching muscles. Whether
it is your neck, thighs or feet.
5)
Diabetes Sufferers
Spas are thermostatically controlled
to ensure that the temperature is maintained at a suitable level,
especially for patients that have lost feeling to their nerve
endings. It is highly recommended for those with diabetes to consult
their physician prior to beginning hot spa treatments.
6)
Arthritis Sufferers
There is good news for sufferers of
Arthritis as regular use of spas for hydrotherapy keeps joints
moving, restores and preserves flexibility and strength and prevents
further damage of joints. Therefore Arthritis sufferers can perform
their daily tasks with reduced pain and discomfort, boosting their
confidence and self esteem. The Arthritis Foundation encourages warm
water exercise as water supports and reduces stress on joints and
allows easier movement. Spas involve heat and massage which combined
