Relaxing Your Muscles with a Hot Tub – How It Works

Most of us know how debilitating it can be to have sore muscles and painful joints. While hot tub baths alone cannot heal arthritis or muscle soreness caused by illnesses, they can efficiently ameliorate those painful symptoms – here is how:

• The effects of heat and buoyancy – while immersion in any water can give you a sense of relaxation and refreshment, comfortably warm water has relaxing effects on the body’s joints and muscles. The buoyancy of the water takes weight and stress off the body and the beneficial effects are further enhanced by the bubbles in hot tubs;
• A mood enhancer – bubbling warm water efficiently calms and soothes tense nerves, hot tubs being able to make you feel better not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well;
• Improving motion range – hot baths are great for people suffering from joint and muscle problems that cause stiffness and limited range of motion. Performing any kind of motion is easier in water, so hot tubs are great for those in the process of recovering after joint surgery, bone fracture or from strained muscles and ligaments;
• Post-workout recovery – soaking in a hot tub is a great way to reduce the muscle soreness that comes as an effect of intensive training as well.
