Hot Water Therapy for Stress Relief<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We don\u2019t have to tell you that Americans (or you) are feeling stressed but the numbers might give you pause. A 2017 Gallup News Poll reports nearly 80 percent of people shared feeling stressed during the day. And, according to the American Psychological Association, stress can affect every part of the body \u2013 causing changes in your heart and breathing rates, muscles to tense up and the release of stress hormones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
British psychologist Neil Morris reports in a study, \u201cI found that bathing improved general psychological wellness radically. There was a significant drop in feelings of pessimism about the future and increases in hedonic tone, the internal feeling of pleasurability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why? The hot water, like that in a Master Spas tub, opens the blood vessels, increases blood flow and stimulates the nervous system, causing the body to release endorphins \u2014 the feel-good hormone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So taking 20 minutes at the end of the day to relax in your hot tub from MasterSpas really does make you feel better.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a>The warm water of a hot tub, along with massaging jets, can help ease muscle aches, pain and soreness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nHot Water Therapy for Muscle Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It can be a pain in your neck, the result of hours spent over a keyboard, or soreness in your legs from an intense workout. Or the muscle pain can be chronic, the result of a condition like fibromyalgia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But whatever the cause, the discomfort isn\u2019t just a pain \u2014 it can keep you from living your best life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Medical News Today, heat treatment assists with loosening up stiff muscles and relieving pain or spasms relating to neck or back injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those who have been enjoying a MasterSpas swim spa, a good soak can help with exercise-related soreness (also known as DOMS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking the time to soak in a hot tub can dilate blood vessels and promote blood flow, allowing the muscles to relax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it\u2019s also the change in temperature that stimulates a response in the body. Imagine sitting in a MasterSpas hot tub. The water\u2019s perfect \u2014\u00a0you\u2019ve set the temperature at a soothing 104 degrees. But after 20 minutes, you are ready to get out. You almost hesitantly stand up. You know what happens next.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your body temperature drops just slightly, a degree or two, but it\u2019s enough to cause a change. A positive one, as far as your muscles are concerned. You\u2019ll feel more relaxed and, bonus, sleep better, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hot Water Therapy for Chronic Conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
About six out of 10 American adults are living with a chronic condition \u2014 including diabetes and arthritis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And while a session in a MasterSpas hot tub<\/a> is not a substitute for medical attention, it can be a complement to traditional treatments.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nDiabetes: Studies, including several published in the New England Journal of Medicine, have reported that hydrotherapy helped people with Type 2 diabetes, sometimes even reducing insulin donations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the studies, it was shown that people had an easier time controlling plasma sugar levels when they soaked in hot water for 30 minutes, six days a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arthritis: \u201cIt reduces pain and it seems to have a somewhat prolonged effect that goes beyond the period of immersion,\u201d says Bruce E. Becker, MD, director of the National Aquatics & Sports Medicine Institute at Washington State University in Spokane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
