Got Arthritis? Get a Hot Tub!
March 08/2020

Thinking it’s too good to be true? That a hot tub would never be able to provide you with complete relief from your arthritis pain? It is more than true! Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints. A joint is the area where two bones meet. There are over 100 different types of arthritis, but soaking for just 30 minutes a day can alleviate most of your symptoms!

Arthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage. Cartilage normally protects a joint, allowing it to move smoothly. Cartilage also absorbs shock when pressure is placed on the joint, like when you walk. Without the normal amount of cartilage, the bones rub together, which cause pain, swelling, and stiffness.

What is Hot Water Therapy?
Many doctors even prescribe hot water therapy to those who have extreme arthritis because they know how beneficial it is! The water’s buoyancy also eases the tension on your muscles, as you are 90% weightless in water. Therefore, the heat of the water is great on your joints as well as the fact that you can float and move around easier will take away and ease the pressure on your joints!

The temperature of the hot tub can also be adjusted to fit your own personal needs. As crazy as it sounds, there is a huge difference between 100 degrees and 102 degrees. You wouldn't walk outside today, knowing that it was 70 degrees outside and say it’s fine and then tomorrow walk outside when it is 72 degrees and say “Wow it’s really hot out here!” But in a spa, even just a degree increase or decrease in the water temperature can feel extremely different. It is important to find the right temperature for you and your body.

Different times of the year may cause you to vary the temperature in your spa to accommodate the fluctuations. This is normal and is recommended for you to get the most out of your hot tub soaking time.

Aqua Palace Spas and Pools Recommendations
It is recommended to use your spa for approx 20-30 minute sessions at a time. This allows for enough time to be able to work the areas of your body that need hot water therapy, but not lasting too long to increase your core body temperature to an unsafe level. There are usually higher seats in every Marquis Spa, which are strategically placed there so you can raise your heart above the water level to cool down. This will prevent you from getting too hot during your session.
