Improving Joint Health in Your Spa Pool

The sedentary lifestyle adopted by people living with arthritis can lead to decreased mobility and circulation while increasing inflammation in the area. Sitting in a warm body of water with massage jets is a relaxing way to combat the pain being felt in certain areas of your body. Modern-day Spa Pools feature diverters, which allow you to concentrate jet massages to certain seats in the spa, to offer a more comprehensive hydrotherapy experience. Utilise this functionality to reduce joint inflammation, while improving flexibility and range of movement. These benefits have been reported to last for hours after exiting the spa.

Whether it’s provided by a sauna, Hot Tub, or Spa Pool, heat can offer an answer for all kinds of body pain. It has been shown to be particularly beneficial in reducing inflammation of joints and muscles. Primarily, heat will dilate your blood vessels, stimulating an increased circulation of nutrient-rich blood. This means you are actually achieving a cardiovascular workout, just by sitting in a spa or sauna, as well as reducing pressure on those sore joints. If you experience pain in multiple parts of your body, submerging yourself and moving your limbs slowly through the warm water will provide wide-ranging pain relief through all sore joints.
