Whether it's to unwind from the complexities of everyday life or to rejuvenate sore muscles and joints caused by sports or everyday activity, hydrotherapy can help you feel better - naturally. You can actually improve your athletic performance by doing two things: using your hot tub both BEFORE and AFTER you exercise. Before You Exercise Soaking in a hot tub before exercising relaxes your body and loosens muscles, making exercise easier and reducing the risk of injury. A pre-exercise soak will also help to improve performance. In fact, some golfers swear it has actually reduced a couple strokes off their game. After You Exercise Soaking in a hot tub after exercising is a great way to wind down after the exercise and to relax your muscles. The hot, swirling water embraces you... massaging your neck, shoulders, arms, back, thighs, calves, and feet. But most importantly, hot tub use after you exercise will greatly reduce or even eliminate the stiffness typically felt the next day. |

According to a recent Gallup poll, 9 in ten Americans suffer from regular pain.Whether one is a professional athlete or a “weekend warrior,” exercisers notice muscle stiffness occurring 24 to 48 hours after a bout of high activity.“Muscles are going through a repair process called delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS,” says Stiskal. “This is when a soak in a hot tub sounds so appealing and is prescribed professionally,” offers Greg Kempf, a Cleveland, OH, chiropractor. Kempf goes on to say that increased blood circulation caused by the warm water of the hot tub combines with the massaging action of hot tub jets to push toxins (lactic acid) effectively out of the sore area and bring new blood into the injured muscular tissue.This reduces pain and helps the muscles recover faster. |
