Hot tubs are incredibly relaxing and a great way to wind down after a hard day at work. However that’s not their only use. Whether you’re a professional athlete or have your own personal workout goals that mean putting your body through its paces, a hot tub can be very useful before and after a workout too. It’s important to use the hot tub properly so that you get all the benefits for your body from the impact of hydrotherapy if you’re exercising.

Arthritis can be incredibly painful and is a condition that may feel like it is restricting your ability to enjoy life. Exercise can help to relieve many of the symptoms of arthritis. Although this may be difficult to do without support, if you have a hot tub it’s much easier to enjoy regular pain relief and help to keep your body moving.

Research has found that time spent outside in nature can have a very positive impact when it comes to reducing stress levels. Exposure to natural light increases the levels of serotonin in the body and helps to boost the mood. However, for many of us, the majority of our days are not spent outside in a natural environment but in an office space or inside a building. Walking from the office to the car, or from public transport home, might be the only chance we get to be outside during the course of a day.
