Benefits of Different Types of Tub Therapy

Soaking

Bathtub soaking stimulates the contact and temperature receptors located on the surface of the skin which promotes relaxation and stress relief.  Water, whether consumed or applied externally is a great way to detoxify the body and replenish it with much needed hydration. Soaking in different temperatures of water can be good for the nervous system and for blood flow which impacts our hearts, lungs, biscuits and much more.

Bathing therapy is touted as an easy way to treat many ailments. Such therapy can be used to treat inflammation, tendonitis, infection, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis, scoliosis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, injuries, back pain, and other painful ailments. It’s not only used to treat ailments, it is also well known for preventing them. Studies have shown that water therapy is great for rehabilitation from accidents, traumas, strokes, connective tissue diseases and even asthma and other respiratory related problems. Because bathing therapy increases blood circulation, it can help strengthen the immune system, give you more energy and improve the way you feel overall. It also reduces the effects of stress, reduces pain, improves sleep, prevents headaches, and has been found to improve blood sugar, lower blood pressure and potentially help to treat depression. Walk in tubs are often deeper than a traditional tub offering you a more immersive and comfortable bath which makes therapy in a walk in tub ideal.

Air Massage Therapy

Air and hydro massage therapy help with pain management and relaxation.  It also calms the nervous system, reduces stress, tension and anxiety, helps detoxify your body by stimulating your lymphatic system and helps improve blood circulation. Air bubbles are a gentle way of getting a light touch massage in your bath. Soft bubbles of air are blown into the bath from the bottom of the tub and float to the top of the tub gently massaging your entire body.

With hydromassage therapy, water jets provide a more vigorous, focused massage as water sprays out of the jets which are strategically placed throughout your tub to hit specific areas such as your lower back, arms, hips, legs and feet.

Dual Massage (Air and Water)

Dual massage walk in tubs offer the ability to have both jet and air massage so that you can enjoy a softer light touch massage, a more forceful and focused massage or you can choose to have both in your bath at the same time.

A Word of Caution

While all of these benefits can be enjoyed by anyone who owns a walk in tub, be aware that there are some precautions that should be taken if you have a condition that can be further complicated or aggravated by utilizing any of these features. If you suffer a chronic condition, are pregnant or not sure if you have a condition, injury or other reason not to utilize one of the features found in a walk in tub, you should consult your physician.

In summary:

Soaking stimulates the contact and temperature receptors located on the surface of the skin which promotes relaxation and stress relief.

Air massage engages the light-touch receptors just below the surface of the skin and promotes further calming, relaxation and circulation.

Hydromassage results in true physiological change to your body by engaging the pressure receptors located deeper in your muscles' tissue. This relieves tight and stressed muscles and therefore promotes tissue rejuvenation.

Dual air and hydro massage engages all four receptors for maximum hydrotherapy benefits.
