Trainers, physical therapists, and other
health care professionals recommend
hydrotherapeutic sessions to alleviate the
symptoms of muscle strains, sprains and
other injuries, and to accelerate the
healing process. The flow of warm water
eases muscle tension, and relieves pressure
on surrounding nerves, joints and blood
vessels. Movement becomes easier, which is
especially important for those suffering
from arthritis and back pain. Warm water
physiotherapy is also one of the safest
treatments available.
Exercising in water is a wonderful way to
improve flexibility and strength, build
muscle endurance and balance, combat the
aging process, and boost your cardiovascular
system. The warm water of a hot tub also
greatly reduces stress on joints and
stimulates the release of endorphins, the
body's natural painkiller.
For aquatic exercise, the temperature of the
water must be cooler than the normal hot tub
setting. Even non-exercisers or patients
recovering from accidents or injuries can
benefit from performing gentle, easy-flowing
movements with water as the medium. By
working with the water's natural resistance,
even a mild water workout can tone muscles
and boost metabolism.
Sundance Maxxus™, the first luxury hot tub
designed specifically for use with aquatic
exercise equipment, adds buoyancy and
massage benefits during a workout. The
Maxxus also provides more space than most
hot tubs, allowing a greater range of motion
for vigorous or specialized exercise.
