Hot Tubs: Not Just For Pampering Anymore

We all know the luxury, relaxation and entertainment that can come with owning a hot tub. But you may be surprised to learn about some unexpected health benefits. Kara at R&R Pools in Nova Scotia knows all about what an asset a hot tub can be. Here are three amazing perks that can come with a hot tub.

• Increased Circulation.  The warm water in a hot tub does wonders for your circulation. As your body temperature increases so does your blood flow. This sends well oxygenated blood throughout your body and out to your extremities. Your skin, cells and even organs can benefit from increased blood flow.

• Soothes Arthritis and other Body Aches and Pains. A relaxing float in a hot tub can relieve pressure on aching joints and muscles. Inflammation on sensitive areas can be reduced. In combination with the relaxing effect of the hot tub, small exercises and stretches against the resistance of the water can be used to help improve joint mobility and decrease your pain even further. You may be able to minimize complex therapies or dramatic medications. Instead, let the soothing jets and warm water put your body at ease.

  Better Sleep. Who couldn’t use a better night’s sleep? A hot tub can be a tremendous help in securing a relaxing night’s rest. When your body is cold it can be hard to fall asleep and even harder to maintain a normal sleeping pattern. Hop in the hot tub before bed and let the worries of the day be carried away. With your body warmed after a soak in a hot tub you’ll be able to quickly fall into a deep and rejuvenating sleep.

Who knew a hot tub could be so therapeutic and relaxing at the same time. The experts at R&R Pools definitely do, and now you do too!
