Handle Stress with Care Using Hot Tub

We have all experienced the calming and rejuvenating effects of sitting in a hot tub after a long day of work or leisure, but do we really understand what makes hot tub hydrotherapy so great? At Arctic Home Living in Alaska, we supply high quality hot tubs to our customers because we know through experience that the soothing heat and jet-propelled water works wonders to relieve physical discomfort and tension. Following is a summery of the many benefits of hot tubs.

* Pain Relief

Hydrotherapy is the use of water to relieve the physical discomfort in the body. The temperature of the water plays an important role in the therapeutic treatment. Hot water has long been sought after for its ability to relieve physical discomfort, such as muscle pain, arthritis and back pain, and is often recommended to speed recovery from injury. The researchers conclude that hydrotherapy helps remove lactic acid, opens blood vessels to improve circulation, encourages the flow of endorphins and relaxes the soft tissue around arthritic joints. In combination with heat, hot tubs built with multiple streams can improve joint and muscle function, focusing jet-driven warm water to specific trouble spots or pressure points on the hands, feet, back and neck.

* Lowered Stress Levels

Physical discomfort is often caused by high levels of stress and exhaustion. At Arctic Home Living, we supply  hot tubs spas to our customers in Anchorage and Fairbanks to help promote the general welfare of our customers in these colder climates. Research has shown that mild pain in the muscles and joints is substantially relieved by a hydrotherapy session of only 20 minutes. A twenty minute soak will also alleviate headaches and promote relaxation. Many hot tubs also offer elements that stimulate the natural endorphins enhancing your feelings of well-being.
