Owning and using your hot tub can have a more lasting effect on your health. Many studies demonstrate the benefits. Here are a few just to name a few
BACK PAIN
This controlled clinical trial shows a positive short-term and a more moderate long-term overall effectiveness of spa therapy in chronic lower back pain." Participants in the study who utilized spa treatments experienced increased back flexibility, reduced pain duration, and lessened use of analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs than the study group that did not receive spa treatments.

DIABETES
Patients with Type 2 DIABETES MELLITUS were studied using a hot tub 30 minutes a day, 6 days per week. After only 10 days, patients required reduced doses of INSULIN, lost weight, showed distinct decreases in plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin, and benefited from improved sleep and an increased general sense of well-being.

CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
Soaking in a spa simulates exercise. It increases the heart rate, yet it doesn't increase BLOOD PRESSURE. Study PARTICIPANTS who relaxed in spas had a decrease in BLOOD PRESSURE, while participants who exercised on bicycles experienced an increase in blood pressure. The regular use of spas and hot tubs gives you some of the same HEALTH BENEFITS of exercise but with less heart stress.

ARTHRITIS
"People whose ARTHRITIS symptoms respond well to heat have discovered the many benefits of heat therapy."

"Regular sessions in your hot tub help keep joints moving. It restores and preserves strength and flexibility, and also protects your joints from further damage. Exercise can also improve a person's coordination, endurance, and the ability to perform daily tasks, and can lead to an enhanced sense of self-esteem and accomplishment."
"A hot tub fulfills the need perfectly . . . providing the warmth, massage, and buoyancy that is so necessary to the well-being of arthritis sufferers. The buoyancy of the water supports and lessens stress on the joints and encourages freer movement. Water exercises may even act as a resistance to help BUILD MUSCLE strength."

Stress Relief
Stress is one of those things that just happens. Nobody is immune. However, too much stress can lead to serious health issues and a shortened or unhappy life. Luckily, the swirling warm waters and relaxing jets massages in a BEACHCOMBER HOT TUB are the perfect therapy for overcoming stress and tension.
IMPROVED SLEEP
Some studies suggest that soaking in hot water (such as a hot tub or spa) before retiring to bed can ease the transition into a deeper sleep.
- National Sleep Foundation
Your body can be eased into a state of a deep and relaxing sleep by a drop in body temperature after going to bed. Soaking in hot water about 90 minutes before bedtime triggers your internal thermostat to lower your temperature, thus inducing sleep to set in more easily.
