Role of hot tub and different exercises for arthritis

Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that results in inflammation of one or more joints. Though there are over 100 different types of arthritis, joint pain is one of the major complaints reported by millions of people. Pain, swelling, joint stiffness are some of the common symptoms of arthritis. Regular exercises can help those who suffer from arthritis by increasing their mobility, flexibility and improving their respiration system. It also helps in reducing the severity of pain. Below are the four types of exercises that can offer extreme relief from pain and stiffness related to arthritis:

Attention to posture

Wrong body posture, balance and coordination can affect the body by weakening up muscles and veins. Exercises that help posture can improve joint position and balance. Recreational exercises, such as Tai chi and yoga can prove to be highly helpful.

Flexibility

Improve and increase flexibility by doing 10 rotations of motion workouts on a daily basis and stretching exercises at least three days a week. Increased flexibility helps to achieve better posture, reduce risk of injuries and improve mobility.

Aerobic exercises

While performing aerobics, our body uses large muscles in a rhythmic and repetitive method. Regular aerobics can reduce the risk of arthritis; however for those already suffering from it can do aerobics to ease pain. Walking, bicycling and dance are all forms of aerobics.

Strengthening

Strengthening exercises results in stronger muscles, which ultimately reduces bone loss related to inactivity. People who suffer with arthritis should practice a set of eight to 10 muscle strengthening exercises two to three times a week.

How hot tubs help with arthritis

A recreational activity like hot tubbing can provide a lot of relief. Going into a hot tub regularly can relax the muscles and take tension away from joints. Many people who suffer from arthritis find having a hot tub very beneficial.

Benefits of a hot tub include:

1. The buoyancy of warm water soothes the body and alleviates pain and stiffness.

2. Being in a hot tub soak increases body temperature, dilates blood vessels and increases blood circulation.

3. The hot tub jets also help massage target areas like the back, legs and shoulders.

Furthermore, having a steam shower or infrared sauna can also help arthritis patients in relieving pain and stiffness. An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters, which releases heat that is absorbed by the body. Many studies show that those with arthritis experience less pain, stiffness and fatigue with regular use of a steam shower or infrared sauna.

The benefits of an autumn hot tub installation!

With colder weather on its way, it seems that all thoughts of having your very own backyard oasis have been put on hold, right? Wrong! In fact, autumn is actually a perfect time to install a swimming pool or a hot tub. An autumn hot tub service installation offers several benefits for homeowners.

One of the main advantages of choosing to install your hot tub in the fall is that you have more time to think about your backyard design. You can visit your friends’ and neighbours’ backyards during the summer to find ideas and inspiration that you can incorporate into the design of your own property.

Waiting until later on in the year can allow you to save money towards your purchase. You can choose different hot tub accessories and extra elements to add to your hot tub, like a music system or special lighting. If you’ve been saving up and aren’t quite sure what hot tub accessory to get, think about purchasing a hot tub cover first. A hot tub cover can protect your tub and keep your hydro bill down.

Opting to install your hot tub in the fall also makes things easier on your hot tub service team. Because most people install their spas during the summer months, hot tub dealers have more time when it comes to installing hot tubs during the fall season. If you choose to install your hot tub in off-season, it is more likely that your service will be faster and more convenient. Plus, you won’t have to wait too long for your tub to get installed!

Autumn is also the perfect time to start planning and even planting your landscaping too. Planting in the fall can reduce the initial shock that some plants experience as they begin to enter their dormant cycle.

If you are still unsure whether you would like to install your hot tub in the fall, consider Arctic Spa Red Deer’s Fall Sale! You can save thousands of dollars on Arctic Spa hot tubs, hot tub accessories, hot tub chemicals and more. There is no better time to take advantage of an autumn hot tub installation!

Relax in Your Hot Tub This Winter!

Taking a soak in your hot tub after a hard day at work is really one of the most enjoyable ways to relax. Often overlooked is understanding exactly why a hot tub feels so soothing and relaxing. Hydrotherapy, or the therapeutic effect of water, is one of the reasons why so many people depend on their hot tubs to relieve them of a variety of ailments. One reason why hydrotherapy is  so effective is the heat of the water. Studies have proven that people who take a hot bath or sit in the hot tub before bedtime report better sleep. Not only do they fall asleep faster, but they sleep more soundly throughout the night,reporting less wakings during the night.  Here, we'll explore how hot tubbing can improve your mind and body's well-being when they need it most: during the chilly winter season.

Aside from heat, there are a number of other factors that make a soak in the hot tub so relaxing. When water moves around in the hot tub, it gently massages your body. It stimulates nerve endings under the skin, which relaxes your muscles and creates a generally soothing effect on your entire body. Add in the jets and the experience only gets better!Aiming the jets at sore muscles and joints provides not only instant pain relief, but benefits your body in the long run by thoroughly massaging problem areas.

Laying in a hot tub temporarily relieves your body of gravity as well. This weightlessness you feel while you’re in the tub takes a heap of tension off your muscles, joints and supportive tissues. This is a wonderful remedy for those suffering from arthritis.

Warm water has immense healing properties, and relaxing in a hot tub can act as a kind of tranquilizer for your body. The heat slows down your internal organs and temporarily decreases production of stress hormones. For this to occur, however, you must make sure that the water isn't too hot: its recommended that it should be about the same temperature as the skin, which is around 94 degrees Fahrenheit. In contrast, for effective pain relief, water should be a little hotter (between 102 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit).

Making a habit out of visiting your hot tub is beneficial for both your mental and physical well-being. It can provide relief from many ailments including arthritis, muscle spasms and strains and backaches, as well as provide stress relief and comfort. Don’t forget to protect your hot tub with a quality hot tub cover! Hot tub covers are an essential hot tub accessory that can help to extend the life of your tub.

After a long day hiking the trails or even just after a day of running around with kids, shopping, working and dealing with the stress daily life entails, it's important to find the small ways each day we can unwind and leave our worries behind us. One fantastic way to do that whether it be to relax after a hectic day, or to pamper sore muscles after a rigorous workout, is by having regular access to a hot tub. Why let only people staying at fancy resorts or who are on vacation have all the fun?

Hot tubs can provide the needed relaxation and relief for your tired and sore muscles. Immersing yourself in hot water and turning the hot tub jets provides an abundance of oxygen to your cells.

If you love to make the most of Alberta’s wilderness, hot tubs are important to truly enjoying and rejuvenating yourself.

The Perfect Family Activity to Try

Finding family activities that are enjoyable for older children and teens can be difficult. At these ages, kids want to do their own thing, preferably far away from Mom and Dad. However, it is important that you do find activities that will make your kids want to spend time with you. Many studies have proven that teens and pre-teens that spend plenty of time with their families are less likely to experiment with drugs and alcohol and more likely to do well in school. Fortunately, there is one family activity that everyone will enjoy. Hot tubs are fun for everyone.

When you install a hot tub, your older children will suddenly want to spend time with you, as long as you are all relaxing in the hot tub, of course. To get your kids even more enthusiastic about this family purchase, let them become involved in the decision making process. When you visit the Arctic Spas Red Deer showroom in Alberta, bring your kids. Let them help decide what type of hot tub the family should buy. Teens will be particular enthusiastic if you purchase a hot tub model with a built in speaker system. That way, they will be able to listen to their favourite tunes as they relax.

Hot tubs are also a great way for you to encourage older children to socialize with their friends at your home. When your teen's friends hang out at your house, you will be able to keep a close eye on them. This is impossible to do if they all decide that they want to spend their summer hanging out at the mall, away from prying parental eyes. When you install a hot tub, your teen's friends will want to hang out at your house. Keep some snacks on hand and your teen's friends will become a permanent fixture in your home.

Of course, hot tubs should not be used by very young children. This family activity is best suited to families with older children. Children under the age of 16 should only use a hot tub under close parental supervision.

Emily Smalls is a hot tub lover and parent of two teenagers. For more information about Arctic Spas Red Deer and the hot tubs that they have to offer, visit their website http://www.arcticspasreddeer.com/. You should also join their fan page on Facebook (Arctic Spas Red Deer). This is a great way to find out about sales and specials.
