Softub® Offer Relief From ...
Arthritis
With over 40 million people affected by arthritis, a warm soak in a Softub® relieves the
pain of muscle and joint stiffness, improves blood circulation and releases endorphins
which is a natural pain reliever. Buoyancy of water reduces 90% of body weight, making
it easy to move around comfortably.
Fibromyalgia
Hydrotherapy appears to be particularly effective for those suffering from FMS by
reducing muscle pain in the ligaments and tendons. In one study, fibromyalgia patients
were given therapeutic whirlpool baths twice a week for six weeks. Upon conclusion of
the study, the patients involved had better muscle and joint function, reduced pain
symptoms and improved sleep quality.
Chronic Pain
With more knowledge coming forward on the health concerns of opioids and long term pain
medications, people are looking for a more homeopathic approach to managing chronic
pain. A warm soak in a Softub® relieves the pain and muscle joint stiffness. The buoyancy
of water reduces 90% of body weight, while improving blood circulation, allowing the
brain to naturally release endorphins into the blood stream creating a natural pain
reliever. Hydrotherapy assists greatly in the dilation of blood vessels, which increases
circulation that helps people with muscle or joint pain by delivering oxygen and enzymes
to the pain sites.
Diabetes
'With the vast increase of Type 2 diabetes, also referred to as "adult onset diabetes,"
watching your weight and moderate exercise is an essential part of managing it.
Exercising in your Softub® allows unrestricted movement for water aerobics that greatly
improves joint mobility as well as the positive effect of increasing blood circulation,
naturally releasing endorphins into the blood stream that serves as a natural pain
reliever. This can be especially helpful for diabetics who are unable to participate in
traditional forms of exercise.
Anxiety & Stress
Choose from the various levels of massage created by the adjustable jets that assist in
loosening knots of tension and enhances the muscle range of motion. With increased blood
flow, the brain releases endorphins into the blood stream, a natural form of pain relief
for tension in the body.
Sleep Disorders
Lack of sleep has been linked to numerous negative effects. Luckily enough the answer
might be waiting in your own back yard. The National Sleep Foundation states that
"soaking in hot water, such as a hot tub before retiring can ease the transition into a
deeper sleep." Here is the science behind it: soaking in water before going to bed
triggers your body's internal thermostat to lower your body temperature. A gradual
reduction in body temperature induces drowsiness, leaving you more prepared for sleep.
