The Hydromassage Experience

There are three factors at work in a spa: heat, buoyancy and massage. Together, they create a
relaxing, soothing experience.

Immersion in hot water raises the body temperature and causes the blood vessels to dilate,
increasing circulation. The buoyancy of the water reduces body weight by approximately 90%,
which relieves pressure on joints and muscles and creates the relaxing sensation of weightlessness.

The massaging action of a spa is created by sending a mixture of warm water and air through jet
nozzles. This "energized" stream of water loosens tight muscles and stimulates the release of
endorphins, the body's natural pain killers.

Of course, a spa offers much more than just a good hydromassage. It's also your own private
retreat that leaves you feeling mentally and emotionally refreshed. Fifteen minutes in the morning
can awaken and revive you. And a soak before bedtime can make it easier to drift into a deep,
restful sleep. A Hot Spring spa is so relaxing, you'll want to experience it every day.
The link between stress and illness should be of interest to anyone concerned with their health. We
all have stress in our daily lives relating to work, family, and society. Mental tensions, frustrations,
and insecurity are among the most damaging types of stress.

Affected by stress, the heart works harder, breathing becomes more rapid and shallow, and
digestion slows. Nearly every process of the body is degraded. Researchers have estimated that
80% of disease is stress related. Since we usually can't avoid it, the key to dealing with stress is
relieving it!

A soothing and relaxing soak in a hot tub can help counteract stress and its effects on the human
body. It is the perfect antidote to a hectic and stressful lifestyle. The warm waters and soothing
massage work to relieve anxiety and relax your tense muscles.

Numerous independent studies have proven that a warm water massage stimulates the release of
endorphins, the body's natural feel good chemical. Your hot tub will enhance your sense of
well-being, and leave you feeling fresh, clean, and ready to tackle life's daily challenges!

people-has some form of arthritis.
Although there are over 100 different kinds of arthritis, most are characterized by inflammation of
the joints which causes swelling, pain and stiffness, often resulting in loss of joint movement or
function.

Many people affected by arthritis seek relief by soaking in the warm, soothing waters of a spa*. A
hot tub can provide the warmth, massage and buoyancy needed to both relax and exercise joints
and muscles in the convenience and comfort of your own backyard. Relaxed muscles create an
overall feeling of comfort which can then make it easier to perform exercises and carry out daily
tasks.

If you know someone who is affected by the pain and discomfort of arthritis, a spa may bring the
relief they need. A Hot Spring spa is the ultimate way to soothe stiff, sore muscles and joints
through state-of-the-art hydromassage.

with your physician.

More Than Just Relaxing - A Hot Tub Can Be Good for You
Hot Tub Therapy Can Help Diabetics

For the more than 16 million people who have diabetes, help may be as close as the nearest hot tub.
A study by a Colorado researcher published in the New England Journal of Medicine brings the
benefits of hot tub therapy to the surface and sheds new light on the advantages of spa ownership.
According to the study, soaking in a hot tub can be beneficial for people who are affected with
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

With this type of diabetes, people can often control their condition with regular exercise and a good
diet. Unfortunately, many diabetics are physically unable to endure rigorous activity and maintain a
steady weight. In a recent study conducted by Dr. Philip Hooper at the McKee Medical Center in
Colorado, eight people with Type 2 Diabetes were placed in a hot tub for 30 minutes a day for
three consecutive weeks. The results indicated that patients reported a 13% reduction in blood
sugar levels, improved sleep and an increase in their overall sense of well being.

If you or someone you know is affected by diabetes, relaxing in a spa might bring needed relief. A
Hot Spring spa is the ultimate way to relax, unwind and relieve tension through state-of-the-art
massage. For more information on the results of this study, visit the New England Journal of
Medicine Web site at www.nejm.org. For more information regarding Diabetes, visit the American
Diabetes Association Web site at www.diabetes.org.

Sleepless Nights? Relax in a Hot Spring Spa

Sure, spas help ease muscle and joint pain. But did you know they can help you get a good night's
sleep as well? According to a poll by the National Sleep Foundation, approximately 132 million
Americans suffer from sleep disorders including mild to chronic insomnia, pauses in breathing and
snoring. The poll found that 48% of women and 38% of men suffer from insomnia more than one
night a week. This number is on the rise as evidenced by the growing number of sleep disorder
centers across the nation (approximately 3,000 in the U.S. today). According to a sleep therapy
center in Louisville, KY, insomnia is the second most prevalent reason people go to the doctor
(after pain).

Sleep researchers believe that many cases of insomnia can be traced to hectic, stressful lifestyles
lived by basically healthy people. The results of sleep deprivation are varied and may cause battered
nerves, grogginess, lapses in memory, depression, and erratic mood swings.


Immerse Yourself in Liquid Tranquility

So how can you help your body enter a deep sleep? According to a recent study in the scientific
journal Sleep, a drop in body temperature can help to ease your body into a deeper, more relaxing
sleep.  Therefore it is suggested that you soak in very hot water (103° F) approximately 90 minutes
before bedtime. This causes the body's internal thermostat to pull your temperature down, enabling
sleep to set in with more ease. An ideal way to achieve this is to take a 15-minute soak in a spa.

This therapeutic use of warm water is called hydromassage. The beauty of a spa-induced sleep is
that it is a natural remedy, unlike alternative sleeping aids such as prescription drugs,
over-the-counter remedies and alcohol-all of which can make you feel groggy and have other
adverse side effects.
