What is Hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy, also known as the “water cure,” has been practiced for centuries. Fortunately, modern technology has made soaking in a tub of hot water way more luxurious for us than it was for our ancestors. So what is hydrotherapy exactly? It’s a form of therapy used to treat pain and inflammation, among other things.

Can I Really Soak Away Arthritis Pain?

Absolutely! In fact, that’s the reason the modern-day hot tub was invented. Even the Arthritis Foundation recommends using warm water to help cope with discomfort and stiffness. In addition to the heat, buoyancy from the water will relieve the pressure on joints and muscles. This leaves you feeling relaxed and weightless. And of course, we can’t forget the jets! Imagine having all your ‘problem areas’ expertly massaged at the same time — can you say “euphoric”?

Other Amazing Health Benefits of Hot Tubs!

There are a few other surprising ways a spa can help relieve your arthritis pain:

Weight loss – Soaking in a hot tub helps curb your appetite, which can assist with weight loss, which can translate to less pressure on your joints.

Stress Relief – Stress can make arthritis discomfort worse. However, using a hot tub lowers cortisol levels and increases the release of endorphins. Not only will this help with stress, but it can also improve symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Exercise – Hot tubs can make exercise and physical therapy easier and less painful by increasing flexibility and adding range of motion support.
