Hot Tub Benefits

The benefits that can be attributed to spending time in a hot tub or spa are substantial. When you look at those benefits in total, it’s easy to see how spending even 20 minutes a day in a hot tub can help you feel renewed by improving your health and state of mind.

When you use a hot tub to focus on your personal well-being, you experience positive change and transformation every time you immerse yourself.

• Stress is transformed into relaxation.
• Tension is released from where it has accumulated in muscles.
• Muscles recover from daily activities.
• The fast pace of your day slows down.
• Your mind clears and you are calmed.

Essentially, a hot tub functions as a personal reset button that helps you start fresh. And who couldn’t use that?

The Power of Warm Water

With our focus on enhancing the self-care benefits of a spa through careful design and engineering, a Caldera hot tub can accomplish more than ever before.

Do What You Love, Longer

Adding a hot tub into your daily wellness routine is like accruing compound interest for your physical and mental health: the sooner you start, the more benefits you will gain!

Continual hot water immersion keeps your muscles supple. If your muscles are supple you can bend and move. If you can bend and move, you can continue to do all the activities you love, longer.

A Deeper, More Relaxed Sleep

The deep, relaxing sensation you get from time spent soaking in a spa helps release tension and starts you on a path to a restful sleep. Once you’re in a warm spa, your body’s temperature is raised, which increases blood circulation. When you leave the spa, your core temperature lowers slowly, which signals the body that it’s time to sleep.

Natural Pain Relief From Arthritis

According to the Arthritis Foundation, time in a hot tub creates a helpful environment for relieving arthritis pain and stiffness. Heated water raises body temperature, increases blood circulation and water’s buoyancy relieves stress on joints and muscles to encourage better movement. When jets are used, the warm water massage relaxes muscles, ligaments and tendons and stimulates the release of endorphins–the body’s natural pain reliever.

An Arthritis Foundation publication related to spas, pools and arthritis states “Regular sessions in your hot tub keep joints moving. It restores and preserves strength and flexibility, and also protects your joints from further damage.”

Muscle Recovery and Faster Healing

Medical professionals suggest warmth to increase circulation and assist healing. Time in a warm spa, especially those equipped with soothing jets, helps increase circulation so the blood can supply nutrients to help cells and tissues regenerate. According to the textbook Comprehensive Aquatic Therapy by Drs. Bruce Becker and Andrew Cole, “immersion in warm water can lead to a faster and longer-lasting recovery. An environment which is less prone to cause pain, and is even pleasurable, makes immersion in warm water a unique healing environment.”

Overall stress relief

People have soaked in warm water for centuries to relax. These days, hot tub owners are quick to tell us about how soothing their spa feels and how recuperative it is. Studies show the soothing effects, too. For instance, blood pressure drops after time spent in a spa.

In fact, nearly everyone logically understands that a spa helps you relax. But not everyone has felt it. There’s simply an amazing sense of calm and release after you’ve spent time getting a soothing massage in a spa.
