4 Best Benefits of Hydrotherapy – The 10 Day Experiment

We’re fierce advocates of hot tub hydrotherapy.

We know that using a hot tub as part of a daily routine leads to positive results for the mind and body.

We believe the best benefits of hot tubbing come with frequent soaks and we want to “test the theory,” so to speak. So we’re looking for a few volunteers to join us.

The 4 Best Benefits of Hot Tub Hydrotherapy

Now let’s see the 4 most important hot tub hydrotherapy benefits.

1. Circulation System

The Circulation system begins to change. 60,000 miles of veins, arteries, and capillaries begin to open up, allowing white blood cells to better defend and protect. Red blood cells carry more oxygen and nutrients while toxins are carried away.

Muscles are fed, and the circulatory system is revitalized. As a result of increased circulation, pain is reduced, flexibility is increased, and you sleep better.

2. Improved Post-Injury Recovery

The combination of heat, buoyancy and massage lessens harmful stress hormones and triggers the release of endorphins that dull pain by binding to nerve receptors.

Lactic acid is moved from muscles, and recovery time is reduced.

3. Range of Motion

Range of Motion is increased, helping you become more agile and more active.

In a Mayo Clinic study featuring 141,000 participants, water exercise resulted in a 12.8 decrease in pain and an 18.2 percent decrease in the perception of difficulty.

4. Simulates Exercise

One study showed that time spent in a hot tub increased heart rate 25.7 beats while lowering blood pressure.

In the American Heart Journal, a study showed significant improvement in mood, physical capacity, enjoyment, and fewer heart failure-related symptoms.

Regular hot tub users often comment that they feel more relaxed and rejuvenated.

Some say their joints and muscles feel more flexible. Others use the time to quiet their thoughts while relaxing their bodies.

Still, others used the time to simply catch up with the people in their families and begin to reconnect in a meaningful way.

These kinds of positive changes are why most people invest in a Caldera hot tub and why they use them on a regular basis.

Our blog is filled with ideas and topics that allow you to make positive changes in your life with just a minimal investment of time.

It’s an idea that began with our belief that time spent in a hot tub is one of the easiest, fastest and most enjoyable ways to create substantial positive change.

With that in mind, we’d like to propose an experiment and invite you to participate. Are you a daily hot tub user? Have you been out of the routine of hot tubbing and want a reason to start again? Here’s your opportunity.

How to Participate in the Hydrotherapy Challenge

For the next 10 days, take a daily 20-minute soak and note any changes you notice.

Did you feel better? Sleep better? Did you feel more relaxed, limber, less stressed and ready to take on the world from a fresh perspective? Did you experience fewer aches and pains? Were there other hot tub benefits you’ve noticed?

If you’ve never tried a 20-minute soak every day, that’s even better!

We’re encouraging you to give it a try once a day for 10 days straight. And then, we invite you to share your experience with our other readers.

In addition to the changes, you noticed, please let us know what time of day you chose. Mornings for a fresh start? Evenings as a way to unwind at the end of the day? Right before bed? You may discover a new approach to each and every day that delivers great dividends.
